Demonstrating Compliance through Data Audits
The Zambian Data Protection Act of 2021 requires that annual audits on the compliance of data controllers and processors are conducted by Data Protection Auditors registered with the Data Protection Commission (DPC). Silham Consulting and Training Services is a registered Data Protection Auditor firm with the DPC and licensed to provide Data Protection Audits as provided for in the Act. Silham follows industry best practices in its Data Protection Audit assignments, from the time of engagement with the customer, right up to the time of issuing the Final Audit Report. The Final Audit Report issued after an audit exercise demonstrates the level of compliance by an organisation to various provisions of the Data Protection Act. It will also point out areas where there is need to improve levels of compliance, with appropriate recommendations. Besides actual auditing, Silham Consulting and Training Services does provide onsite advice during auditing programme, where necessary, in order to enhance the compliance levels of an organisation.
