Webinar | Default information officer strategy session | Members only

So you’re the head of your organisation and responsible for many things. Do you know you’re also the default information officer? This means that as the CEO, you’re legally accountable for your organisation’s personal information. What does this mean for you? You may have delegated your personal responsibilities around data protection “(including POPIA) and access to information (PAIA) to someone else, the designated information officer, but you remain accountable. We can help get you on the front foot.

You are the one who could go to jail. You need to assure the board of directors (or shareholders).

Get empowered by understanding your data protection responsibilities. Join one of our data protection specialist attorneys in a practical hour-long webinar. It will equip you with exactly what you need to know to ensure that people are appropriately and cost-effectively managing the data protection and access to information risks in your organisation.
