STAFF TRAINING
At Go Pixel we think one of the most important elements of your POPI / PAIA compliance journey will be training you biggest assets, your staff. As we all know fines from the Information Regulator will be a result of a data breaches. Whilst cyber-attacks are a potential risk, the majority of data breaches will occur due to human error. This could be anything from a file left on the counter, documents on a desk or a lost laptop. With fines significantly increasing for data breaches, we feel it’s imperative to get your staff ready and trained well in advance. They can then put in practice what they have learnt, ensuring that they are ready.
A few top tips for staff training:
✓ Staff must understand the basics
✓ Training must be relevant to the organisation to help them understand
✓ Decide if face to face is more effective than online training for your organisation
✓ Ensure staff understand data breaches and when they may have to report such a breach
✓ Start soon and ensure it continues
Go Pixel offers onsite training which can be tailored to your organisations requirements. We also run Information Officer and POPI courses throughout South Africa, and offer clients online staff awareness training packages too.
