How can the acquisition of ISO 27701 Certification in South Africa?
Enhancing Data Privacy through ISO 27701 Certification in South Africa
ISO 27701 Certification in South Africa. Data privacy and protection have emerged as critical priorities for organizations globally in the digital era. As South Africa continues to experience rapid digital transformation, the need for robust data privacy measures has become more pressing. One effective way organizations can ensure comprehensive data privacy management is by acquiring ISO 27701 Certification. This blog explores the benefits of obtaining ISO 27701 Certification in South Africa and how it can significantly enhance your organization’s data privacy framework.
Understanding ISO 27701 Certification
ISO 27701 is an extension of the widely recognized ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 standards, providing guidelines for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). The standard is designed to help organizations manage personal data, ensuring compliance with global privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
Why ISO 27701 Certification is Crucial in South Africa
With its burgeoning digital economy, South Africa faces significant data privacy and protection challenges. The volume of personal data businesses are processing is increasing, necessitating stringent data protection measures. Here’s why ISO 27701 Certification in South Africa is essential for organizations in South Africa:
Regulatory Compliance: South Africa’s POPIA mandates organizations to implement adequate measures to protect personal data. ISO 27701 provides a structured framework that aligns with POPIA, ensuring compliance and minimizing the risk of legal penalties.
Enhanced Trust and Reputation: Achieving ISO 27701 Certification demonstrates your data privacy and security commitment. This certification can bolster your organization’s reputation, fostering trust among customers, partners, and stakeholders.
Competitive Advantage: ISO 27701 Certification can be a significant differentiator in a competitive market. It signals to clients and partners that your organization adheres to international best practices in data protection, giving you an edge over competitors needing certification.
Risk Management: ISO 27701 helps identify and mitigate privacy risks associated with data processing activities. By implementing this standard, organizations can better manage risks, reducing the likelihood of data breaches and related costs.
Operational Efficiency: The certification process streamlines data protection processes and procedures, improving operational efficiency. It helps organizations establish clear roles and responsibilities, ensuring that data protection is embedded in the organizational culture
The Path to ISO 27701 Certification in South Africa
Achieving ISO 27701 Certification in South Africa involves several key steps:
Gap Analysis: Assess your current data privacy practices against the requirements of ISO 27701 Certification in South Africa.
Policy Development: Develop and implement a PIMS policy outlining your organization’s coorganization’s privacy.
Implementation and Controls: Implement the necessary controls and procedures to manage PII effectively.
Internal Audit: Conduct an internal audit to verify your PIMS aligns with ISO 27701 standards.
Certification Body Selection: Choose a reputable South

the problem with having a graduate advisor who actually gives a shit and gives very good advice is you end up with like 12 more things to do
#this is still better than the alternatives to be clear.#it's just that the thought of coorganizing conference panels with two of my peers so we can turn those papers into a special issue#or edited volume#is exhausting.#a very good idea but exhausting!!!!#grad school

My take on NCT at Hogwarts
what is it with me and being active on this god forsaken app all of a sudden... anyways, i know that we've thrown jk rowling in the garbage but listen i can't just throw away my whole childhood for one stupid rich white cis woman. also i have no idea what's going on with the neos but when do i ever? alright here we go
taeil: he's giving me frustrated hufflepuff, like he really wished to be in gryffindoor but it didn't work out. think he'd be a halfblood and have a pet toad. likes to visit hagrid for tea sometimes. simps over some bad bitch in slytherin, really thinks she's into him too, everyone tells him she's way out of his league. broke his wand twice already trying to open a can of sardines
taeyong: also strong hufflepuff energy. he's the keeper and captain of their quidditch team and a prefect too, picked purely cause he's good with kids. walks around without his scarf in the cold winter because he wrapped it around ten's neck one morning and nagged on him for not taking care of his health properly, never got the scarf back and doesn't mind. i feel like snape would intimidate the crap out of him, like he would not be able to stay calm during his classes rip. he'd be adored by all the other teachers though, especially flitwick who believes he's really gifted in charms
johnny: a gryffindoor pureblood and keeper and captain of the quidditch team. always the one who tries to talk things out with mcgonnagall when they pull some stupid shit and get caught, never successful. has the marauders map and likes to throw underground raves in hidden rooms and tunnels. buddies with peeves and the house elves. buddies with everyone actually. and regardless of liking him like that or not, every girl in school has fantasized of fucking him in the quidditch locker room showers ooooop-

chenle: a slytherin and a pureblood, from one of those rich old families. because of that people expect him to be a lil brat, turns out to be the coolest guy you'll ever meet. he's friends with everyone regardless of house, a chaser on the quidditch team, known as the one who scores the most points in a game. he's great at defence against the dark arts and transfiguration, is thinking about becoming an auror 'cause that dude fears nothing i'm telling you. was made a prefect instead of haechan, rubs it in his face like crazy, but ultimately just let's people get away with stupid shit like "haha nice one, respect". memorized all the secret passageways of the castle in his head, helps johnny, mark, ten and jaehyun with their parties. pisses off filch like no other, was in detention all the time with yangyang until they realised how terrible it is when the two of them are in close contact lol so he gets let off the hook all the time. also fucking flirts with everything that breathes, the biggest fucking tease like you never know what he means smh
jisung: jaemin's muggleborn hufflepuff son, though most people are surprised he isn't in gryffindoor 'cause god the reckless shit that boy pulls... always late to breakfast with his uniforn all messy. people think he's very innocent but like his bestfriend is chenle, so how pure could he be. he's a seeker on the quidditch team, goes extra hard during hufflepuff-slytherin matches 'cause he wants to knock haechan off his high horse. blushes like crazy whenever he sees a cute girl which only gives chenle more reason to tease him 'cause he's a lil bitch like that. is the star of ten's dance club but has tripped and fallen down multiple flights of stairs, this kid's a walking paradox
to conclude:

The organizers of the OURFA2M2 conference have written a blog post for the AMS with advice for applying to math REU's! It's the culmination of advice we've gotten, experiences we've had, and things we learned during the conference. If you think it might be for you, it's for you! And thanks to my coorganizer Brittany for the following meme, which is the current mood:

Profile & summary of my CAS
Learning outcomes
All in all I can say I achieved all learning outcomes.
1. I identified own strengths and developed areas for growth. I got involved in activities that based on my prevailing skills but opened new ways to develop. Language can be deepened without limits; although I have got a certified C2 level in German I can still develop my skills and I continued to do so throughout my CAS.
2. I have undertaken a range of challenges, for instance passing a C2 exam in German seemed outlandish at first but then I got used to the idea and focused all my efforts to pursuing this goal. And I did it, even though it might seem abstract. I wanted to challenge myself to spice up my life a little bit and grow personally from the process. Now I can see a difference - my German language skills developed to such degree that when I am reading literature in German now I see an immense difference - now I can easily spot nuances and extract the deep meaning.
3. I initiated and planned CAS experiences thoroughly. I am a pragmatic person who tends to stick to the plan because it gives direction. CAS stages came naturally to me, I did not have to force them because they are inherent parts of planning process. My intellectual challenges undertaken in German - 2 competition and one language certificate required detailed planning for adequate preparation. Also my internship in the foundation required planning and time-management skills as I had to combine it with my various initiatives and rigorous IB programme. CAS stages were useful to plan my CAS project as well - I was in MUN staff, which means I coorganized WawMUN 2019.
4. Commitment and perseverance are prerequisite for success. I understand it therefore in every action I take these factors resonate. Otherwise I would accomplish my goals such as honours in German, I would not be able to play volleyball in the first-line up or I would not fulfill my demanding duties throughout my internship effectively. These are only examples of actions where I used my commitment and perseverance to succeed.
5. I saw benefits of working collaboratively during the WawMUN 2019 conference, which I organized as my CAS project but also in my internship in the foundation and my service as a student goverment vice president. In the student government we need to rely on one another and have each other’s back. We do share responsibilities to make sure nothing is neglected. We help each other and in case of emergency may replace one another either during a debate or while discussing issues with the head mistress. Throughout my internship I served as an assistant therefore I needed to adjust to the current responsibilities. I was instructed by more experienced employees all the way and assigned tasks. WawMUN conference is the biggest MUN in Poland therefore the organization process is complicated and required the division of tasks. If we did not trust each other and if we did not share responsibilities, the effect would not be so spectacular. The results showed the benefits of the team work from its best side.
6. I engaged with issues of gloabl significance throughout my CAS project which was co-organizing the MUN conference. Practising debating skills is crucial in today’s world and new generations of politicians have a chance to challenge their capabilities on the conference. The topics discussed in individual commitees touched upon issues of global significance. It is great to give my peers a chance to gain skills, delve into controversial subjects and defend their position. Some of them would probably pursue politics further in life; MUN conferences are truly inspirational in this respect.
7. One of the ethical issues I adressed during my activity as a student government vice president was the animal consumption. To relieve the environment, make my own step to reduce cruelty against animals, at least at the local level, I negotiated with the canteen supervisor to introduce vegan food. Unfortunately it was not possible to serve vegan dinners because of technical diffuculties but vegan sandwiches appeared in the canteen soon after our proposal. This is the way to satisfy needs of people on a plant-based diet but also a way to promote environmentally friendly food, with no associated cruelty.
Creativity
I love literature and foreign languages. Throughout my CAS, I combine this two effectively to follow both of my passions simultaneously. I read and write a lot in German and do far beyond what is required in my school. My goals in German are wide-ranging and not confined to my German B classes, but I challenged myslef to take part in competition and to read German literature. Once I have read “The Sorrows of Young Werther”, “Faust”, “The Visit”, “The Trial” in original and it commenced my relationship with German literature. I was captivated by it to such extent that I made a German classic “The Magic Mountain” the center of my Extended Essay. I also chose “The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka to use in my oral exam. Thomas Mann and Franz Kafka are one of my favourite writers of all time and they allow me to trace different nuances of German language. Close analysis of these works of art should involve in my opinion delving into the original work. A valuable experience might be to compare it with the translation, which I did throughout my independent study.
My tangible achievements in German (the evidence for my skills) were: a C2 certificate in German, a disitinction in the translation contest “Juvenes Translatores” organized by the European Commision and a finalist title in the National German Olympiad. I reached my aforementioned goals in 2020. They involved CAS stages. 1. I investigated the area I wanted to deepen my skills in and specific aims I wanted to pursue and these were competitions in German. 2. I prepared my strategy, researched the most respectable competitions and exams I wanted to take part in, signed up for them and planned preparation which was necessary because of huge amounts of school work and limited free time. 3. I took specific action, exposed myself to the language days before the exam and throughout multiple months I was doing practice papers, reading and watching a lot. 4. I realized that by pursuing my passion in German and going beyond the curriculum I freed myself and could really delve into the language. The experience provided me with the sense of purpose - my life was not only concerned with my Diploma syllabus but I could get acquainted with literature and recognized the power of translation in terms of its strong influence on the reception of foreign texts.
From then onward I worked to maintain my German on the same high level. I should not take it for granted - I am not a native speaker. My accomplishements required huge amounts of work and also talent but might disappear if not cared for properly.
Activity
In the course of my CAS journey I have been active in many disciplines. Sport is one of my few ways to unwind and stop stressing about reality. I think that the limited possibilities to practice sport were one of the major obstacles during the pandemic. I was deprived of my only way to switch off and relax. Before the pandemic I used to swim and play volleyball in a school team every week plus I attended 3 Physical Education classes per week. Now my prefered activities are not possible to pursue because of lockdown which entailed school, sport halls and swimming pool closures. Moreover I am concerned with the virus. At the start of 2020 we managed to take the fouth place in district-wide volleyball competition. My team and I wanted to improve next year but the pandemic unexpectedly shattered my plans. I am grateful, however, for having been given a chance to represent my school in the first line-up. Moreover, I would attend volleyball practice every Saturday.
My PE classes give me a chance to play volleyball, football or do fitness. I enjoy almost every activity that is physically demanding. And I am also great in sport which boosts my motivation. Beyond school, I used to exert myself a lot in swimming and have difficulties to find enjoyment in it. However, I am a really good swimmer and it strengthens my determination, improves posture and health.
Throughout the pandemic, I have been practising sport independently, as it is an extremely important part of my life. However, in the first lockdown in the spring I used to overexert myself doing long and intensive workouts every day on an empty stomach to the point when I got health problems. I had to give it up and switched to another physical activity, less demanding but equally fun: walking. Never before have I taken walks so often as during the pandemic. Now, in the winter lockdown I also go for a walk sometimes.
Service
I began my CAS journey in 2019 with giving tutoring to a primary school student from a underprivileged background. Teaching subjects I am comfortable in (English and German) and his improved grades were reasons for my satisfaction. It required a lot of patience and perseverance as it was extremely difficult to teach him something because firstly he lacked motivation and secondly he had difficulties memorizing. This made it a huge challenge but turned out to be rewarding.
The second half of my first IB year (2020) I sacrificed for my internship (voluntary work) in a foundation. My scope of activity consisted in the cooperation with the Fundraising Director and the Spokeswoman of the foundation; I had duties related to fundraising and media such as: preparing summaries of the reports from humanitarian missions for fairs in Dubai, translating posts for English social media profiles, collecting data for media reports, translating official requests for the sponsorship, gathering contact details of potential sponsors i.e. big companies and Presidents of the biggest Polish cities, monitoring press mentions.
Throughout 2020 I have also been fulfilling duties of the student government vice president. My team was elected in February 2020 and until now (beginning of 2021) I hold this position. I resolve current problems with the head mistress, co-organize and participate in events e.g. open days, control social media, coordinate logistics. In March we attended an event for student governments across Warsaw. I also tried to organize the Physics conference with my 2 friends in my school but it was cancelled last-minute due to imposed school closure, one week before it was scheduled to take place. Everything had been arranged with lecturers and we had to cancel feeling miserable.
My wide range of CAS activities - other examples
Apart from my core activities which I described, I got involved in numerous other CAS experienced described on this blog. One of the most enriching ones was my participation in the process of creation of a book. I wrote my own essay to a book published this month by my former class teacher. I entitled my work: “School is people: about sparking authenticity and breaking patterns”. I also cooked a lot and published some of my recipes on the blog, wrote to my school newspaper, took part in environmental protests, wrote some poems, some diary entry, practiced Frech, including writing, took many beautiful photos on my trips abroad,...
I also co-organized WawMUN2019 conference as my CAS project.

As I’ve mentioned here before, I’m on the organizing committee for a very cool virtual reptile show that unfortunately my coorganizers let me name, so it’s called Reptile ShOVID-19. It’s going to be a two day event hosted on Facebook full of livestreams from all sorts of interesting people, including yours truly, some reptile artists, three different rescue groups, a few different herp societies, and some breeders who are dedicated to producing healthy animals and getting them into good homes. One of the overarching themes of the event is how to responsibly bring a new pet reptile into your family- whether that’s through adoption or through purchasing from a reputable, responsible breeder. Both are valid options! With that in mind, we’re putting out a call for more breeder participation in our event. If you’d like to put yourself out there, our application is open through the weekend!
https://forms.gle/szkX9EbbaosAEmxF7
Also, if you make reptile supplies, this is DEFINITELY open to you! We’d love people who make hides, tank decor, etc.

𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐧 was one of the leading suffragists of 19th-century America. As coorganizer with Susan B. Anthony of the first women's rights convention in the United States, as the author of the first public statement calling for women's suffrage, and as the coauthor of History of Woman Suffrage, a massive work documenting the suffragist movement's history in the 19th century, Stanton was a major figure in popularizing the cause of women's rights.⠀ ⠀ In 1851 Stanton met Susan B. Anthony and formed a working partnership that would unite them for the rest of their lives. The two women complimented each others' strengths: Anthony was a strong organizer while Stanton was better at persuasive argument; Anthony could organize the movement's activities while Stanton was a popular writer on its behalf. The two women founded a new independent organization, the National American Woman Suffrage Association, to work for the right of women to vote.⠀ ⠀ In 1881 Stanton and Anthony, working with Matilda Joslyn Gage, gathered many of their speeches and writings for periodicals and published the first volume of A History of Woman Suffrage. The massive work would eventually fill six volumes, the last being published after Stanton's death in 1902.⠀ ⠀ ==⠀ ⠀ Source: "Elizabeth Cady Stanton."

Y’all ever heard of Claude Cahun
Lordy
Thanks
Man 1920s flappers were really a force to be freakin reckoned with but
This person just straight up anti nazi propaganda her way into the fog of history and whenever someone was like ‘are you doing this?’ She just... (along with Suzanne malherbe who she lived and ‘coorganized’ w/) straight up went “who me? The sickly ol lady in black? Nah” and blew them off until it was too late to sentence them when they finally did get caught.
And then there was Marcel Moore- basically her wife at one point??? I’m not too up on her whole life story but this person just did what she wanted

[15.04.2019] CAS service - experience - a reflection
On 12th April 2019 I’ve made a cake for the 13th April „I Support Women, Not Sweatshops” workshop, coorganized by my classmate, Barbara (here’s the link to her reflection on this event: https://www.instagram.com/p/B3iF0STA4Q1/). I made this vegan banana bread as a part of a treat for the participants of the workshop. I felt great about it as I’ve always loved to cook and bake, especially for others. But it wasn’t only cooking but also spreading a positive narrative to the world – as I said, the banana bread was vegan and not only it came out really tasty but it was also something that made the vegan participants more welcome. I didn’t attend the workshop but I’ve heard that everyone, not only the vegan people, enjoyed the cake. It’s always nice to cook something vegan and see the others find that thing tasty and become convinced to eating more plant based.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any photographs of the cake as my friends forgot to took one. I do, however, have a picture from the workshoop at which my cake is present at the second (if not the third) plan.You can spot it behind the glassess if you’re very carefull.
It was also my personal step in the vegan journey of mine, as it was the first banana bread I’ve made vegan and also one of the first vegan cakes I’ve ever made.
Learning outcomes achieved: demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance; show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experience; recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions
