Platform Features

Everything you need to achieve and maintain POPIA compliance — from initial assessment to ongoing monitoring and audit readiness.

Compliance Assessment

A guided questionnaire mapped to POPIA's 8 conditions for lawful processing. Know exactly where you stand — no legal background required.

Replace a R15,000+ consultant engagement and weeks of back-and-forth with a 15-minute self-service assessment — and walk away with a defensible compliance score you can act on today.

What Talynth automates for you

  • Maps every answer to the 8 POPIA conditions for you — no cross-referencing the Act yourself.
  • Weights the score by risk, so the gaps that actually expose you surface first.
  • Pre-selects the questions relevant to your industry and skips the rest.

What's included

  • 44 targeted questions across all 8 POPIA conditions
  • Industry-specific variants (healthcare, finance, retail, professional services)
  • Save progress and resume anytime
  • Weighted scoring by section criticality
  • Plain-language explanations — no legal jargon
  • Instant compliance score with per-section breakdown

Document Generation

One-click generation of all the documents POPIA requires. Pre-filled from your assessment answers, reviewed by SA privacy attorneys.

Get every document POPIA requires in one click — pre-filled from what you already told us, not a blank template you have to complete or pay a lawyer to draft.

What Talynth automates for you

  • Flows your assessment answers straight into each document — no re-typing the same details.
  • Uses attorney-reviewed templates, so you skip the drafting fees entirely.
  • Tracks every edit with version history for a clean audit trail.

What's included

  • Privacy policy (Section 18 compliant)
  • PAIA manual (Section 51 compliant)
  • Data processing register
  • Operator agreement templates
  • Breach response plan
  • One-click generation from assessment answers
  • Customisable sections for your business context
  • Version history with change tracking

DSAR Management

Track and respond to data subject access requests within POPIA's mandatory 30-day window. Never miss a deadline.

Turn a stressful 30-day legal deadline into a tracked, guided workflow — so a single overlooked request can't turn into a R10m penalty.

What Talynth automates for you

  • Calculates and counts down the 30-day deadline the moment a request arrives.
  • Generates acknowledgement emails and response templates automatically.
  • Logs every step, so you can prove you responded in time without a manual file.

What's included

  • 30-day deadline tracking with countdown timers
  • Auto-acknowledgement emails to requesters
  • Identity verification workflow
  • Pre-built response templates
  • Complete audit trail for every request
  • Escalation alerts as deadlines approach

Breach Response

When a breach happens, every hour counts. Talynth guides you through the 72-hour notification window with structured workflows.

When a breach hits, Talynth runs the 72-hour clock and hands you the exact notifications to send — so you're executing a plan, not scrambling to work out what POPIA requires.

What Talynth automates for you

  • Lays out the 72-hour countdown and required actions step by step.
  • Drafts the Information Regulator and data-subject notification letters for you.
  • Tracks containment and root-cause steps so nothing is forgotten under pressure.

What's included

  • 72-hour notification countdown timer
  • Information Regulator notification templates
  • Data subject notification generator
  • Containment action tracking
  • Root cause documentation
  • Impact assessment framework

Ongoing Monitoring

POPIA compliance isn't a once-off event. Talynth tracks your compliance posture over time and prompts action before you fall behind.

Compliance quietly decays if you do nothing. Talynth watches your posture over time and nudges you before you slip out of compliance — no diarising review dates yourself.

What Talynth automates for you

  • Applies score decay automatically, so your number reflects reality — not a stale once-off result.
  • Schedules quarterly re-attestation and review reminders for you.
  • Surfaces Information Regulator updates in a feed so you don't have to monitor them.

What's included

  • Compliance score decay over time (not static)
  • Quarterly re-attestation prompts
  • Regulatory alerts feed (Information Regulator updates)
  • Score history trends and trajectory
  • Deadline calendar for all compliance activities
  • Automated reminders before reviews are due

Evidence Management

Be audit-ready without scrambling. Every action, document, and decision is timestamped and stored securely in South Africa.

Be audit-ready on demand — every action, document and decision is timestamped, filed against the right POPIA requirement, and stored in South Africa, so a regulator request never becomes a fire drill.

What Talynth automates for you

  • Files each upload against the correct POPIA condition automatically.
  • Runs AI verification to confirm a document is actually what it claims to be.
  • Assembles a regulator-ready pack in one export — no building folders by hand.

What's included

  • Timestamped evidence uploads
  • Full audit trail for every compliance action
  • Gap remediation tracking with status updates
  • Secure S3 storage in AWS Cape Town (af-south-1)
  • Organised by POPIA condition and requirement
  • Export-ready for regulator requests

AI Assistant & Automation

Talynth's AI does the heavy lifting — verifying evidence, drafting responses, triaging breaches, and searching your records — while you stay in control, reviewing and approving every output.

Work that used to need a consultant or hours of manual effort — checking a document, drafting a DSAR reply, classifying a breach — now happens in seconds. You review and approve; the AI does the grind.

What Talynth automates for you

  • Verifies uploaded evidence against your answers (Verified / Partial / Invalid / Unreadable) with a reason and a fix.
  • Drafts POPIA-compliant DSAR response letters (Sections 23–25) for you to review and send.
  • Triages breach severity and generates a tailored 72-hour action plan plus notification letters.
  • Answers plain-English questions across your audit trail — e.g. 'show every document change last quarter'.
  • Detects DSARs arriving by email and opens them for you automatically.

What's included

  • AI evidence verification with plain-language reasons
  • AI-drafted DSAR responses
  • AI breach triage + action-plan generation
  • Natural-language audit-trail search
  • AI email intake for incoming DSARs
  • AI document assistant for editing and completeness
  • Human-in-the-loop — you approve every AI output
  • Runs on AWS Bedrock; your data is never used to train models

Team, Roles & Permissions

Bring your whole team into compliance with granular, IAM-style roles — and give external accountants or auditors free, read-only access.

Everyone works from one live compliance picture with exactly the access they need — no shared logins, no oversharing, and free seats for the auditors and accountants who only need to look.

What Talynth automates for you

  • Enforces permissions at every screen and action for you — no manual gatekeeping.

  • Encrypts your data at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3) automatically.
  • Logs every action to a timestamped audit trail without any setup.
