POPIA and PAIA Information Officer Appointment Letter

Description

POPIA and PAIA Information Officer Appointment Letter

A POPIA and PAIA Information Officer Appointment letter is recommended as an effective way of formalising the responsibilities of this role.

The POPI Act / POPIA contains a requirement for the appointment of an Information Officer. This is a requirement within the context of assigning Accountability (Condition 1 in the Act) for implementing and maintaining compliance measures. The Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) of 2000 also has a requirement for an Information Officer to be appointed.

Both laws referred to above contain responsibilities which must be carried out by the Information Officer.  In order to formally appoint an Information Officer (and optionally a deputy), an appointment letter is recommended.

In order to help organisations with their Information Officer appointments, we offer a POPIA and PAIA Information Officer Appointment letter template which meets the requirements of both laws.

The POPIA and PAIA Information Officer Appointment letter document template will be sent to you after you have completed your purchase.
