Who We Are

Zimbabwe's specialist digital policy & compliance consultancy.

CDPA Ch. 12:07 (2021) S.I. 155 of 2024 National COPP (2026–2030) POTRAZ Licensing

Every organisation in Zimbabwe — public or private — that processes the personal data of 50 or more people carries binding legal obligations today, not in some future compliance cycle. Non-compliance carries criminal penalties, personal liability for directors and leadership, and civil damages.

We combine 18+ years of ICT policy expertise with ground-level knowledge of Zimbabwe's regulatory environment to translate dense legislation into practical, jargon-free programmes your team can actually run.

  • Protect directors, trustees and executives from personal criminal liability
  • Build the trust that underpins every client, patient, congregant or student relationship
  • Meet POTRAZ, RBZ, IPEC and Ministry-level regulatory expectations in one programme
