Data includes things like a person\u2019s name, email address and phone number, as well as information collected by website cookies like internet browsing habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breaching rules laid out in the POPI Act comes with a R10 million fine and\/or a jail sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van der Merwe summarises the parallels between the two data-protection directives: \u201cPOPI and GDPR are similar, in that they both aim to strengthen the protection of personal information. They differ in their approach, in that the GDPR takes a wider, more global perspective that includes anyone, anywhere either controlling or processing \u2013 or both \u2013 data relating to EU citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-auditable-business-processes\"><strong>Auditable business processes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A big part of compliance, when it comes to both the POPI Act and the GDPR, specifically involves audit trails \u2013 something PBSA\u2019s digital signature and workflow product, SignFlow, is heavily centred on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For evidentiary purposes and in order for any company to assert GDPR compliance, the automated management of an audit trail is imperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van der Merwe says SignFlow is can assist customers in their strategy to automate and digitise processes in a responsible and compliant manner. \u201cBusiness Process Automation is at the forefront of our technology development at SignFlow, including tools like DocFlow, CaseFlow and our digital customer on-boarding tools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the core of SignFlow, he says, is Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). \u201cPKI manages users\u2019 private keys, and signs and secures documents using Public Key Cryptography. Not only does this make documents tamper-evident after they\u2019ve been signed, but the entire operation is conducted in a secure network over encrypted secure socket layers between the public, personal devices and private servers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike paper files and systems managing email attachments, this portal fully controls and audits the workflow and communication channels between interacting parties. \u201cThis greatly reduces the risk of data leaks,\u201d says van der Merwe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe system enhances non-repudiation, creating a digital trail of undeniable events that prove intent and identity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With GDPR set to come into effect on 25 May 2018, and the high stakes attached to non-compliance, South African companies simply cannot afford not to take a global view on data protection. \u201cThe protection of personal information goes far beyond just the POPI Act for local companies dealing with international customers,\u201d says van der Merwe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-references\">References<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Digiday \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/digiday.com\/media\/gdpr-curious-wtf-article-29-working-party\/\">For the GDPR-curious: WTF is the Article 29 Working Party?<\/a><\/li><li>The Digiday Guide to GDPR (PDF)<\/li><li>The Sun \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/news\/5458836\/gdpr-deadline-2018-business-compliant-fines\/\">What is GDPR, what does it stand for, when is the deadline in 2018 and how can you check if a business is compliant?<\/a><\/li><li>Michalsons \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michalsons.com\/blog\/gdpr-mean-popi-act\/19959\">What does the GDPR mean for the POPI Act?<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.michalsons.com\/blog\/popi-commencement-date-popi-effective-date\/13109\">POPI commencement date or POPI effective date starts the clock<\/a><\/li><li>Wikipedia \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/General_Data_Protection_Regulation\">General Data Protection Regulation<\/a><\/li><li>IOL \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iol.co.za\/personal-finance\/protection-of-personal-information-act-soon-to-become-a-reality-11253501\">Protection of Personal Information Act soon to become a reality<\/a><\/li><li>ITWeb \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itweb.co.za\/content\/VJBwEr7nV6m76Db2\">Unpacking the POPI Act: The ins and outs of protecting personal information<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the implementation of the EU\u2019s data protection laws just around the corner, local entities need to study up on how it could affect them.
