You cannot fix what you haven't measured. Datahyve's data protection audit and gap analysis gives you an honest, evidence-based view of where your organisation stands against CDPA requirements — and a clear action plan to get to where you need to be.
Having a privacy policy on your website does not make you CDPA compliant. Neither does having IT security controls, or a general understanding of data protection among your team. Genuine compliance requires a structured, documented and operational programme — and most Zimbabwean organisations have significant gaps they are simply not aware of.
Without an audit, you don't know which of your processing activities are non-compliant or what your actual risk level is.
Verbal processes and informal data handling cannot be evidenced to a regulator, auditor or procurement team.
CDPA obligations around consent, data subject rights, breach response and third-party agreements are routinely overlooked.
Before you can build or improve a data protection programme, you need to know where you stand. A professional gap analysis provides the evidence base for every subsequent compliance decision — from which policies to write to which staff to train, from which systems need controls to which third-party contracts need updating.
A comprehensive review of every aspect of your data processing environment — not just policies, but actual practices.
What personal data do you hold, where does it come from, where does it go, and is the collection lawful?
Are your privacy notice, data protection policy, ROPA and data subject rights procedures complete and current?
Is each processing activity supported by a valid legal basis? Are consent mechanisms compliant?
Do your data processing agreements with vendors, partners and processors meet CDPA requirements?
Are your access controls, encryption, backup and incident response capabilities appropriate to the data you hold?
Do your staff understand their data protection responsibilities, know how to handle requests, and know what to do in a breach?
