POPIA Compliance for Security Service Providers

Security Service Providers are, like almost all other businesses, enjoined to comply with the provisions of the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). 

The very nature of Private Security Services, especially those involved in Private Investigations, are especially vulnerable to legislative threats and sanctions.  

In view of the fact that Baartman & du Plessis Attorneys continued efforts to render an all-inclusive service to Security Service Providers, we ultimately had no other option but to develop a POPIA compliance service product for our clients.

Our POPIA solution provides an integrated and practical compliance system for small and medium security enterprises to exponentially increase their compliance with POPIA

Characteristics

Personalised, practical, and “ready-to-sign” documents.
Requires no prior specialised skills or knowledge to implement.

Methodology And Approach

The solution was developed on the premise that most security businesses, if not all, consist largely of the following areas of operations:- 

Client Management
Procurement Management
Information Resources Management
Access Control Activities
Human Resources Management

 All documents, policies, etc were accordingly drafted and compiled to address each of these areas.

An outright sale of the system; or 
An optional “after-market” care and maintenance subscription service, in which case, users will be allocated to an Authorized Compliance Consultant, who, with our support, knowledge, and infrastructure will maintain and develop the user’s POPIA program.
