FAQ

POPIA & FICA compliance — frequently asked questions

Short, plain-language answers to the questions South African SMEs ask most about POPIA, FICA, and Companies Act compliance.

What is POPIA compliance software?

POPIA compliance software helps a business meet the Protection of Personal Information Act — keeping a data register (records of processing activities), publishing a privacy notice and PAIA manual, handling data-subject requests (DSARs), and responding to breaches in time. Khanyitas runs these as an ongoing operation, not a one-off document pack.

Does Khanyitas help with FICA compliance?

Yes. For accountable institutions, Khanyitas supports FICA risk-based client onboarding, beneficial-ownership capture, and the record-keeping the FIC expects — alongside the Companies Act beneficial-ownership register.

Can I generate a PAIA manual and a data register (RoPA)?

Yes. Khanyitas generates a PAIA manual and maintains your data register / records of processing activities (RoPA), and keeps them aligned with the Information Regulator's published guidance as the law changes.

How does Khanyitas handle DSARs and POPIA breach notification?

Data-subject access requests run through a tracked workflow against POPIA's response timeline, and the breach module runs the POPIA section 22 clock (plus the Cybercrimes Act clock where relevant), with the regulator and data-subject notifications ready to send.

Is Khanyitas built for South African small businesses?

Yes — Khanyitas is built and operated in South Africa by Navrix Solutions (Pty) Ltd, for South African SMEs, and priced in Rand. You can start free and see where you stand before paying.
