Quick facts

The problem it solves

If your business collects names, phone numbers, emails or ID details, POPIA applies to you. Most small businesses know it matters and have no idea whether they’re doing it right. This check turns that worry into a clear, prioritised list.

What we review

What you hold

• What personal information you collect and store

• Where it lives and who can access it

• How long you keep it, and how you dispose of it

How you handle it

• Consent and privacy notices on your website, forms and contracts

• Third-party sharing: payment processors, cloud tools and email providers

• Whether an Information Officer has been appointed, as POPIA requires

• Your readiness if there’s a data breach

How it works

1. Book: tell us about your business and what personal information you handle.

2. We review, remotely: we look at your systems, forms and practices, and ask you a few questions.

3. You get your report: a plain-English summary of the gaps, in order of priority.

What you walk away with

A POPIA gap report in plain English, a practical remediation checklist of what to do next, and, where you need formal certification or a PAIA manual, a referral to a qualified privacy attorney.

If it turns out to be bigger

The price covers one business at a single site. Multi-site businesses, or complex data flows such as international transfers or large customer databases, are quoted separately, before any work starts.

Good to know

This is a practical readiness review by a technology provider. It is not a legal opinion and not formal POPIA certification. If you need that, we’ll point you to a qualified attorney. The report reflects your business on the day we review it.

What next

We’ll tell you where the gaps are. If you’d like us to close the technical ones and keep watching for new ones, Essential (R799/month) does exactly that, and you can cancel in your first 30 days if it’s not right for you.
