POPI Act compliance - Condition for lawful processing of personal information - Security Safeguards
This is the seventh of eight conditions for the lawful processing of personal information which must be complied with by all businesses.
But what does the condition for Security Safeguards stipulate?
The condition for Security Safeguards:
1. Places a duty on businesses to secure the personal information in its possession and under its control.
2. To ensure the security and safeguarding of personal information, businesses must implement organisational and technical measures.
3. This condition also places a duty on businesses to ensure that anyone who processes personal information on their behalf (Operator) has appropriate security measures to safeguard information.
4. Businesses (Responsible Parties) must enter into written contacts with these Operators.
5. In the event of any security compromises, or if such compromise is suspected, the responsible party must notify the Information Regulator and the person to whom the personal information relates (Data Subject).

POPI Act compliance - what is the difference between a responsible party and an operator?
A Responsible Party is a person or entity who determines the purpose or means for processing personal information. It is usually, but not always, the business or company.
An Operator - Processes personal information for or on behalf of a responsible party.
For example: Mr X has a company XYZ Construction. He determines that he requires his employees names, surnames, banking details, etc. for the purpose to pay monthly salaries and he manages his employees information and data on their own internal IT and payroll system. Mr X, specifically XYZ Construction, is a responsible party.
Numbers Accounting is a bookkeeping and accounting service provider. If Mr X appoints Numbers Accounting to render accounting and payroll services to XYZ Construction, instead of managing payroll on his own, and Numbers Accounting then process the employees' personal information on behalf of XYZ Construction, Numbers Accounting will be the Operator.
