Frequently Asked Questions
- POPIA do not define the term Compliance Framework.
- We cabn define it as: A compliance framework provides a methodology; an organised set of guidelines and best practices, that spells out the process by which an organisation can meet its regulatory requirements.
- The objective is to keep an organisation in compliance with all regulations at all times. Some frameworks address specific areas of your business processes, such as data security; and provide the specific controls, procedures, or processes you could implement to achieve compliance with various data security standards that might apply to your business.
