What is POPIA and Why It Matters

 

The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) regulates how personal information of individuals (called data subjects) is collected, processed, stored, shared, and destroyed by both public and private entitiesrequires South African businesses to handle personal data responsibly.

The reason it matters so much is simple: as data breaches, identity theft, fraud and misuse of personal information become more common in our digital world, POPIA gives South Africans the power to manage their own data, protects them from dangers like discrimination or financial harm, and holds companies and organisations properly accountable

Compliance isn’t optional – it’s critical.

Failure to adhere to regulations can result in R10 million fines, jail time, and irreparable damage to your professional reputation.

Risk Factor Potential Consequences
Financial Fines reaching up to R10 million
Legal Prosecution & imprisonment
Brand Permanent reputational damage
