The first episode of the Data Protectors Podcast touches on data protection principles and how small businesses and organisations can integrate them into their operations.
Whereas SMEs, start-ups and small civil society organisations are slightly different in their business models, they all face similar challenges regarding data protection compliance. More often than not, these organisations are resource-starved, meaning that they lack the capacity to, among other things, invest in compliance or the capacity to hire skilled data protection officers to guide them through compliance.
Our speakers Liesa Borghaert and Mercy Mutindi delve into the seven data protection principles: (1) lawfulness, fairness, and transparency; (2) purpose limitation; (3) storage limitation; (4) data minimalisation; (5) accuracy; (6) integrity and confidentiality; and (7) accountability. Most importantly, they provide practical advice on how to incorporate these principles into organisations’ day-to-day operations.
