What is the privacy readiness program?

In partnership with Simply Privacy, the privacy readiness program is equipped with everything your organisation needs to become privacy ready in 30 days. The program aims to help your organisation meet the needs of global privacy frameworks such as the NZ Privacy Act. Working through this program will show your customers that your organisation is serious about security and will allow you to confidently operate your business on the global stage.
