Frequently asked questions

Is a PAIA manual actually required?

Yes. Section 51 of the Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000 (PAIA) requires every private body to compile and make available a manual describing its information holdings. The Information Regulator enforces this alongside POPIA.

Does this package cover a POPIA compliance audit?

No. This package produces the required documentation. A compliance audit (reviewing your data flows, systems, and existing contracts) is a more extensive engagement. Contact us if you need that level of review.

Who must be designated as information officer?

The CEO or equivalent head of the private body is automatically the information officer. A deputy information officer can be designated to handle day-to-day queries. We prepare the designation letter for either route.

Is website cookie consent covered?

The package includes a cookie notice clause within the Privacy Notice. A standalone Cookie Policy is available as an add-on.
