POPIA CHECK STARTER TOOLKIT
Version 1.0 | 18 October 2026

START HERE
Open POPIA-working-registers.xlsx and read the Start here tab. The seven registers are blank. Fictional illustrations are on Examples. Use the PDF for implementation steps. CSV files contain headings only.

Keep completed files in your organisation's controlled storage. Record process names and restricted document references, not ID numbers, passwords, full customer records or incident evidence. Downloads are blank: nothing you enter offline is sent to POPIA Check or a partner.

General organising tools, not legal templates, certification or legal advice. Adapt them to your activities and have legal decisions reviewed by a qualified adviser. No fixed retention period or automatic notification deadline is assumed.

Do not delay incident escalation while completing a worksheet.

Use: adapt for your own or your clients' internal business work. Keep the scope and source notes. Do not present as official Regulator material or certification.
