What this involves
From there we can generate your PAIA manual, privacy policy, and Information Officer registration pack — reviewed by our team before you rely on them. A separate tool handles breach response if something goes wrong.
POPIA's eight conditions cover accountability, processing limitation, purpose specification, further processing limitation, information quality, openness, security safeguards, and data subject participation — our scoring tool checks each one against how your business actually collects and uses personal information, not just what a template policy claims.
Every business that processes personal information must register an Information Officer with the Information Regulator; we handle that registration, plus the PAIA manual now required to be published under the amended PAIA/POPIA regime.
If a data breach happens, POPIA requires notifying the Information Regulator and affected data subjects "as soon as reasonably possible" — our separate breach-response tool walks you through that notification and containment process on its own timeline.
How long does it take?
Your scored report is immediate. A full compliance pack — privacy policy, PAIA manual, and Information Officer registration — is usually ready within 2 to 4 weeks.
What will it cost?
R12 000 to R24 000 excl. VAT

This is an estimate, not a quote. The final fee depends on the facts and how complex your matter turns out to be, and your Attorney confirms it in writing before work starts. Court fees, sheriff’s fees, counsel and other disbursements are charged separately.
