Your website collects names, ID numbers, and financial records right now. If you can't say where that data goes, the liability already exists. Every build is reviewed against POPIA, FSCA, FAIS, SAICA, and SA accessibility standards—before launch and as the rules evolve.
Regulated industries like accounting, financial advisory, and tax services cannot afford compliance gaps online. A poorly built accounting firm website can create POPIA violations, Information Regulator complaints, accessibility failures, and FSCA sanctions — before you've served a single client through it.
POPIA fines reach R10 million, but the real cost is the review you can't recover from: "they mishandled my data." The fix isn't a footer disclaimer—it's architecture. We design compliance in before the first page is styled, then review it monthly.
The Protection of Personal Information Act governs how accounting firms collect, store, and process client data on their websites.
The Promotion of Access to Information Act gives clients the right to request access to personal information your firm holds—with clear procedures published on your website.
South African web accessibility standards ensure your accounting website is usable by clients with visual, hearing, motor, or cognitive impairments—aligned with government web guidelines and equality law.
Financial Sector Conduct Authority guidelines mandate specific disclosures and licensing information on financial services websites.
South African Institute of Chartered Accountants membership requires specific conduct standards reflected in how CA firms present themselves online.
TLS 1.3 encryption, secure contact forms, and data-at-rest encryption for any financial information processed through your website—meeting South African financial-sector security expectations.
