Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 82677, member: 636"] Last call for data handlers to get on the list before a compliance crackdown. Communications Minister Angellah Kairuki told every public and private group handling personal info to register with the Personal Data Protection Commission. She announced a final grace period for registration, giving non-compliant organizations a last chance to sign up voluntarily before enforcement starts. Kairuki spoke at the end of a training session for Data Protection Officers. She instructed the PDPC to get ready for audits right away. Those checks will begin after the grace period concludes, targeting any entity or person that collects, keeps, or processes citizen data. This push aims to safeguard privacy rights and boost personal data security. The government wants to enforce accountability for how citizen information gets used across all industries. The move is part of broader efforts to tighten controls around digital data. [/QUOTE]
