Prevention is better than the cure(assuming there is a cure!)
You can’t undo data leaks
Responsible data protection practices can give you a competitive advantage
… and help you achieve more of your objectives
Options
Consent
Legitimate interests
Contract conclusion or performance
Transparency is your differentiator
You have little to gain by hiding your activities
Poor data protection practices can have disastrous reputational consequences
Who do you trust?
“A responsible party must secure the integrity and confidentiality of personal information in its possession or under its control by
taking appropriate, reasonable technical and organisational measures …” - Section 19
“A responsible party must, in terms of a written contract between the 10 responsible party and the operator, ensure that the
operator which processes personal information for the responsible party establishes and maintains the security measures referred to
in section 19 …” - Section 21
POPI places much emphasis on security
Avoid court if you can
It is a drawn out process and reputational harm is much more immediate and potentially more severe.
Identify breaches
Fix vulnerabilities
Be transparent and proactive
