What is POPIA and how to achieve certification?
POPIA is a certifiable data privacy standard that sets rules for organizations handling personal information, ensuring that data is collected and processed lawfully. Compliance requires implementing policies, securing data, and maintaining records of processing activities.
Once all the requirements from the standard have been implemented the organization can opt for the POPIA audit to gain the POPIA certificate.
