Overview

Draft the POPIA–King IV governance narrative linking data protection compliance to King IV Principles 12 and 13 for South African organisations.

Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the King IV and POPIA Narrative skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

Example conversation

You: We need a short narrative for the governance report that links our POPIA compliance to King IV—Principles 12 and 13.

Agent: I’ll use the skill reference and draft a concise POPIA–King IV narrative that covers: governing body oversight of information and compliance; the Information Officer and delegation; key policies (e.g. privacy policy, PAIA manual); how POPIA compliance is monitored and reported; and the link to Principles 12 and 13 and to ethical culture and effective control. I’ll keep it at governance level and avoid lengthy legal detail.

POPIA–King IV narrative excerpt

Governance of information and compliance
The board governs technology and information (King IV Principle 12) and compliance with applicable laws (Principle 13), including the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA). Personal information is processed in line with POPIA’s conditions and the organisation’s privacy policy. The board receives periodic reports on data protection compliance, incidents and remedial actions.

Accountability
The CEO is the Information Officer in terms of POPIA. Day-to-day responsibility for privacy compliance is delegated to [role/department]. We have adopted a privacy policy, a PAIA manual, and related procedures for data subject requests and breach management. Training on data protection is included in induction and in annual compliance training.

Assurance
Compliance with POPIA is monitored through [e.g. compliance reviews, internal audit]. Material breaches and regulatory engagement are reported to the board. This governance of personal information supports the organisation’s effective control environment and its standing as an ethical and lawful corporate citizen (King IV outcomes).
