Pique Squid
Cyber & Data Protection Act · SI 155 of 2024

Turn Regulatory Mandates
into Business Trust.

Is your organization fully compliant with Zimbabwe's Cyber and Data Protection Act (SI 155 of 2024)? Pique Squid Consultancy provides expert, end-to-end Data Protection Officer (DPO) services, regulatory filings, and risk frameworks designed to keep your operations secure and inspection-ready.

Outsourced DPO Model

Why Outsource Your Data Protection Officer (DPO)?

Choosing an external DPO model over hiring a full-time, dedicated internal resource offers distinct strategic and financial advantages for modern enterprises.

Cost Efficiency

Access specialized regulatory expertise without the overhead costs of a full-time executive salary, specialized benefits, and continuous internal recruitment.

Unbiased Compliance

An external consultancy provides an objective, independent perspective on your data processing activities, minimizing internal conflicts of interest.

Scalable Expertise

Leverage a multi-disciplinary team well-versed in complex legal, technical, and operational compliance frameworks rather than relying on a single individual's skillset.

Immediate Readiness

Bypass lengthy onboarding timelines and immediate skills gaps; our certified professionals deploy governance frameworks and regulatory filings from day one.
