What Jamaica's Data Protection Act Means For Board Oversight

Jamaica's privacy landscape is moving organizations toward stronger accountability. For executive teams, the question is no longer whether personal information is being collected, but whether the organization can prove where it exists, why it is retained, who can access it, and when it should be securely disposed of.

The board-level implication is practical: privacy governance needs repeatable evidence. Data inventories, retention schedules, access reviews, incident procedures, vendor oversight, and privacy ownership should be visible as operating controls, not scattered documents only prepared before an audit.

SMARTS Aegis helps organizations turn these obligations into a management system: discover sensitive data, assess exposure, implement controls, monitor drift, and report progress in executive language.
