The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA)
At the time when the Protection of Personal Information Act was being finalized in 2013, early versions of the GDPR were already in circulation. This resulted in the early adoption of a world-class regulation for South Africa, borrowing many concepts from the GDPR including Consent, Data Subject Rights and Documentation of Processing. However, there are some key differences to consider for POPIA, including an emphasis on data retention periods and technological measures to limit loss, damage and access to data.
Trunomi is purpose-built to fully address POPIA. From Consent & Permissions and DSRs Automation, through to Data Retention Management – for any organisation, any size.
