Developments referenced included how South Africa’s POPIA compares to laws used abroad, such as Europe’s GDPR.it is important that South Africa is aware of international best practices in data protection and the global ‘gold standard’ in legislation and regulation,” said Pierce.highlighted the differences between data sovereignty, data localisation and data jurisdiction.
“We see this especially in Africa, the desire to implement localisation in terms of the data privacy legislation. What that means is the data that we process within a jurisdiction will be held in that jurisdiction, so there is no opportunity for cloud storage outside of the jurisdiction – everything must be held within the bounds of the country.
