The PoPI Act creates new areas of focus for compliance and management, covering a wide range of privacy and data protection topics, but is still in its infancy.

As more interpretations are forthcoming, and as one’s own business model changes over time, POPITOOLS enables an organisation to update their standards and generate new assessments and related documents.

POPITOOLS covers the 8 Conditions for processing.

Detailed Reporting

The POPITOOLS assessment results are scored on a scale of 0 to 3. A value of 0 indicates that you have marked a response as “not applicable” to your business. Values of 1 to 3 indicate the level of measures, controls, documents, processes, or actions that have been taken.

Your POPITOOLS assessment result will indicate areas in the PoPI Act where you need to focus. The results provide a guide to actions you need to take in order to improve your score.
