Michalsons offers verifiable credentials via Accredible “The world’s most comprehensive digital badge and certificate platform”.
We currently offer:
Data Protection Champ badge
If you are part of a Michalsons data protection programme and you meet a few other requirements, you can use the Michalsons Data Protection Champ badge. You can display the badge on your website, cloud offering, app or advertising solutions.
By displaying the Data Protection Champ badge you are indicating that your organisation:
- champions the right to data privacy,
- takes privacy seriously,
- respects the privacy of data subjects,
- is open about how they process personal information,
- has committed to do what is reasonably practicable to protect personal information, and
- is on the Michalsons data protection programme.
Having the badge does not mean that your organisation will protect personal information all the time. Personal information must flow freely for society to function. A balance between the free flow and the protection of personal information is needed. The badge is also not a POPIA certification or GDPR certification.
You can find out more about how to get one for your organisation.
Information Officer certification
Information Officers who carry the “Michalsons Information Officers certification” have been assessed and in Michalsons’ view, have demonstrated they know enough to be in a position to meet the responsibilities of an information officer. This means that they have completed the Michalsons Training for Information Officers lens and
- know where to practically start to assist an organisation with data protection
- can meet their responsibilities by knowing what their responsibilities are and have the tools to get them done
- can avoid the consequences of non-compliance by knowing what their role entails and what is expected of them
- prove that they have been trained by having successfully completed an assessment to get certified
- they are current members of the Michalsons data protection programme.
You can find out more about how you can become a certified information officer.
The Certified Information Officer will also receive a certificate like the one below.
