Are you Information Regulator Ready? When the information regulator knocks on your door for a compliance assessment under POPIA and PAIA, will your organisation be prepared? Compliance isn’t simply checking off a few boxes – it’s an ongoing journey. However, we understand that organisations need to achieve a foundational standard of readiness to face an information regulator’s assessment confidently.

The information regulator estimates that about 3 million information officers are not registered, meaning they are acting unlawfully and their organisations are not compliant. With the information regulator increasing efforts to enforce compliance, being Information Regulator Ready has never been more crucial.

In our experience, there are around 30 key actions your organisation needs to take to meet the information regulator’s assessment requirements. These include essentials you already know about, such as:

  • registering your information officer on the eServices portal;
  • drafting or updating your customer-facing documents (such as your privacy policy and PAIA manual);
  • submitting your PAIA report (on time);
  • enabling data subject participation;
  • and more…

For organisations that have already taken steps, we recommend we conduct a gap analysis or health check first to clearly understand what you have already addressed and identify any remaining actions that need to be taken.

We know compliance can feel overwhelming – especially when it’s not a one-size-fits-all scenario. That’s why our Information Regulator Ready Package is specifically designed to support organisations starting their compliance journey. Leveraging our extensive knowledge and expertise, we tailor services precisely to your organisation’s unique requirements.
