Dancing in the dark with the POPI Act.
A recent study highlighted that business information needs differ and as a result the POPI Act will impact businesses subjectively. However, the one thing businesses have in common is IT. Neither the Act nor it's regulations explicitly defines the technical measures required to achieve compliance which leaves many businesses in the dark, especially SMME's that don't have significant IT budgets. The stakes are high, as the POPIA legislation provides for significant fines for non-compliance.
