Data Protection Act, 2024

The Act is in force. Can you show you comply?

Botswana's Data Protection Act, 2024 (Act No. 18 of 2024) commenced on 14 January 2025. The Information and Data Protection Commission can audit and investigate how you handle personal data, and it will ask for evidence, not intentions. An information security management system built on ISO/IEC 27001, extended with ISO/IEC 27701 for privacy, gives you that evidence.

Breach reporting

Controllers must notify the Commission of a personal data breach within 72 hours of becoming aware of it.

Data protection officers

Public authorities and organisations that monitor people or process sensitive data at scale must appoint one.

Impact assessments

High-risk processing needs a data protection impact assessment before it starts.

Audit readiness

Policies, records of processing, training records, breach registers and processor contracts should be ready to produce.

We put the systems and records in place and work alongside your legal advisers. This section is a summary, not legal advice.

How we work

From gap assessment to certification readiness

  1. Gap assessment

    We measure your current practice against the standard, clause by clause, and give you a prioritised gap report.

  2. Design and documentation

    We build the policies, procedures, registers and records your system needs, written for how your organisation works.

  3. Implementation and training

    We help your teams put the system into practice and train the people who will own and audit it.

  4. Internal audit and readiness

    We audit the system before certification, close the findings with you, and prepare you for the certification body.

We are consultants, not a certification body. Certification is carried out by an accredited certification body of your choice, which keeps our advice independent.
