Full transcript
The Act asks for measures, not intentions.
Section 8(4) wants appropriate technical
and organisational measures.

Organisational. Then effective.
A policy nobody follows ensures nothing.
Roles, training and process are measures too.
The test is observance, not paperwork.
Effective observance is the test.
