Fundamentals of Data Protection and POPIA

Legal, Contracts and Governance|2 days|Classroom or live online

Fundamentals of Data Protection and POPIA is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through liability and indemnity and contract interpretation without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because commercial teams routinely sign obligations that legal only sees after a dispute, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with data protection under POPIA, service level agreements and cross-border contracting in their own organisation.

Review data protection under POPIA and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the Companies Act
Bring service level agreements into line with current good practice
