Learn moreWhy Datahyve
Data protection law in Zimbabwe is new. Most organisations do not know where to start, what they need to do, or how urgently. Datahyve removes that uncertainty — translating regulatory requirements into concrete actions your team can take.
We focus exclusively on CDPA, POTRAZ and SADC-region frameworks — not recycled GDPR templates that do not fit Zimbabwean law or regulatory context.
Every engagement is scoped and priced before work begins. No retainers that never end, no scope creep, no surprise invoices.
You always know who is working on your matter. The consultant who scopes your engagement is the one who delivers it.
We produce documentation, register you with POTRAZ, train your staff and check your progress — not reports you file away and forget.

DevelopingClient Feedback
"Datahyve guided us through POTRAZ registration and helped us put proper patient data policies in place. The process was straightforward and we now feel confident we are meeting our obligations."
"We had no idea that our school was required to register as a data controller. Datahyve assessed our situation, handled the registration process and trained our staff. Excellent service."
"Our EU donor required us to demonstrate GDPR-equivalent data protection practices. Datahyve understood both the local and international frameworks and delivered exactly what we needed."
The Regulatory Context
Zimbabwe's CDPA came into force in 2021. SI 155 of 2024 introduced mandatory data controller registration with POTRAZ. Every organisation that processes personal data must register — penalties for non-compliance are real.
Small organisations with limited, low-risk processing. Lightest registration and documentation requirements.
Growing organisations with moderate data volumes. Standard registration plus basic compliance documentation.
Larger organisations or those handling sensitive data. Enhanced obligations including formal DPIA requirements.
High-volume or high-risk processors. Full compliance programme required, including an appointed DPO.
