Good Practice

As organisations collect more personal information, understanding data protection isn't optional, for compliance reasons and for basic trust with customers. This module covers the core principles behind protecting personal data.

It's particularly relevant given South Africa's POPIA requirements: staff who handle customer or employee data benefit from understanding the basic principles behind why and how that data needs to be protected.

What you'll learn
