Data Protection Advisor for South Africa/ Marketing Legal Counsel


Data Privacy is a risk that has escalated in recent years, In South Africa, data privacy compliance has obtained much more focus as organisations seek to appoint Data Protection Advisors, which is required by legislation.

The Data Protection Advisor will play a critical role in meeting regulatory obligations and protecting the South African business from data privacy breaches and in the mitigation actions in order to negate regulatory fines of R10 million rand.
