REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

PAIA & POPIA Compliance Made Simple

Your 25-day path to full regulatory compliance. Comprehensive documentation, IO registration, and ongoing support.

Why Choose Volente for Compliance?

South African law requires every company to comply with PAIA and POPIA. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines, legal disputes, and reputational damage. We eliminate that risk.

Comprehensive Assessment

We don't just hand you templates. We analyse your current practices, identify compliance gaps, and deliver a professional gap analysis report with recommendations.

Fast Turnaround

Most projects complete in 25–35 days. Your IO is registered with the Regulator, your documents are finalised, and you're compliant—without months of back-and-forth.

Customised for Your Business

Every document is customised to your company, your data practices, and your specific compliance gaps. No generic templates. No one-size-fits-all.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does PAIA/POPIA compliance actually take?

25–35 days typical. The Regulator's approval (7–14 days) is the main variable. We work in parallel, so while waiting for Regulator approval, we're completing your documents and preparing for delivery.

What if my company is small? Do we still need PAIA/POPIA compliance?

Yes. PAIA and POPIA apply to all South African companies regardless of size—from solo entrepreneurs to large enterprises. The regulations don't have a size exemption.

What's the difference between Package 1 and Package 2?

Package 1 includes website integration (we publish your PAIA Manual and Privacy Statement on your website). Package 2 gives you the documents without website publishing. Choose Package 2 if you manage your website yourself or prefer email delivery.

Can I add more revisions beyond the 2 included?

Yes. Revisions beyond the first 2 are R750/round. We'll track all changes and confirm scope before proceeding.

What if we're already partially compliant?

Most companies have gaps, even if they think they're compliant. Our gap analysis report identifies exactly what you have and what you're missing. All packages include a gap analysis.

Does the retainer (Package 3) continue beyond 12 months?

Retainer is 12 months post-delivery. After that, you can renew monthly (R400/month) or manage compliance on your own.
