Seminar 1: Practice Administration Seminar: Privacy & Information Security Awareness (POPI compliancy) in the Healthcare Practice
Available as an in-house or public training seminar
Go Pixel takes pleasure in inviting you to our upcoming POPI training seminar in different towns and cities all over South Africa. Your presented will by adv. Frikkie Marais. This one-day seminar is intended to empower healthcare practice staff to fulfill their duties in terms of PAIA (the Promotion of Access to Information Act), POPI (the Protection of Personal Information Act) and the draft regulations under POPI as well as the National Health Act.
The above mentioned legislation stipulates that companies must provide a “reasonable and practicable” level of protection for personal information, for example, but does not define what constitutes “reasonable and practicable.” At Go Pixel we think one of the most important elements of your POPI 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. Cyber-attacks are a potential risk, the majority of data breaches will occur due to human error. We regularly run POPI training courses and also provide inhouse training, specifically tailored for your organisation.

Remember: Awareness Isn’t Just a Good Idea, It’s the Law & Ethical Requirement
As an employer and health care provider, you are responsible to provide training to all of your employees about privacy awareness. If you don’t provide the training, if the employees don’t understand the policies and there is a privacy breach, then the healthcare provider is more likely to be held accountable under the legislation and face penalties including fines!
Protect your organisation and your patients. Equip your staff with the information they need to confidently and correctly handle personal health information. Healthcare businesses who want employee and supervisor level privacy aware programs training to support key policies, procedures and risk management need a privacy awareness training program
