About POPI Academy

Built for Simplicity. Backed by Experience.

At POPI ACADEMY, we believe that POPIA compliance doesn’t have to be overwhelming or time-consuming. Our mission is simple: to help South African businesses meet their POPIA obligations without slowing them down.

Whether you're an Information Officer, CEO, new founder or professional looking to upskill, our digital POPIA compliance toolkit, POPIA course (launching soon), and done-with-you service are designed to take the complexity out of compliance - so you can focus on what matters most: running and growing your business.
