Data Protection Consultant in Zimbabwe

Plain-language help meeting the Cyber and Data Protection Act: from registering with POTRAZ to the daily habits that keep personal data safe.

What a data protection consultant does

Zimbabwe’s Cyber and Data Protection Act places duties on every organisation that collects, stores or uses personal data. A data protection consultant helps you understand those duties and meet them in a way that fits how your organisation really works. The aim is not paperwork for its own sake. It is to know what data you hold, protect it, and show that you can prove it.

How we help

01

Registration. Prepare and file your Data Controller application with POTRAZ.

02

Assessment. Compare your practices against the Act and list the gaps in priority order.

03

Officer role. Provide a certified Data Protection Officer if you do not have one.

04

Documentation. Draft records of processing, policies, notices and retention schedules.

05

Risk review. Assess new systems and projects before they go live.

06

Training. Teach staff and leaders what the Act expects of them.

How an engagement works

01

Understand. We learn what personal data you hold, where it comes from and who uses it.

02

Assess. We compare current practice with the Act and rank the gaps by risk.

03

Plan. We agree what to fix first, who is responsible and by when.

04

Implement. We draft documents, set up processes and train your people.

05

Maintain. We review regularly, because laws, systems and risks change.

Who we work with

We work with businesses, clinics and health providers, financial institutions and cooperatives, schools, non-profits and technology companies. If your organisation handles personal data about customers, patients, members, staff or learners in Zimbabwe, the Act applies to you.

Frequently asked questions

01What does a data protection consultant do?

A data protection consultant helps your organisation understand its duties under Zimbabwe’s Cyber and Data Protection Act and turn them into practical steps: registration, policies, records, training, risk assessments and handling of data-subject requests.

02Do I need a consultant if I already have an IT team?

IT teams secure systems, but data protection is wider. It covers why you collect personal data, who may see it, how long you keep it and what rights people have. A consultant adds that legal and organisational view.

03Can you help us register with POTRAZ?

Yes. We prepare the Data Controller application (Form DP1), assemble the supporting documents and help you name a Data Protection Officer. See our guide to registering as a data controller.

04How long does an engagement take?

It depends on your size and how you handle personal data. Most start with an assessment so that we can agree a realistic plan and timeline.

05How much does it cost?

Fees depend on scope. See our pricing page or contact us for a quote.
