Issues addressed include employee knowledge of personal data classification, policies, the POPI Act, standards, and training or awareness campaigns within organisations. The study also looked at the significance of viewing personal data protection beyond the South African context, including the use of cloud services. To present a balanced view, the study involved both management and technical employees of organisations.
