Register for our POPI Workshop and receive a tailor-made POPI project plan

POPI  commenced on 1 July 2020, and organisations now have less than five months to comply before the deadline of 30 June 2021. It's easy to panic and move ahead with 'all guns blazing', but before you start, you need a clear understanding of what POPI is and how it may impact your business. Having a high-level awareness of what POPI is, what it requires, and who the key role players are in your organisation, is crucial in helping you decide what your next steps are going to be.

We are offering a three-day workshop at a date which suits your company.
Other alternatives are also available. Register your interest via the form on the right,
