About
A practice built to keep organisations watchful.
Fennec Alert is a privacy GRC practice based in the Western Cape. We help South African organisations protect personal information, meet their duties under POPIA and PAIA, and run the function after the documents are signed.
The practice is led by Joe du Preez, who spent more than a decade in operations and technology leadership in multi-site service businesses — including sitting with the Information Officer responsibility himself. The work is informed by that operating background: programmes have to survive budgets, vendors, staff turnover and the next system change.
We work across industries. A professional firm, a clinic, a school group, a retailer, a manufacturer and a hospitality business all process personal information. The eight conditions do not change. The programme does.
The name and the mark are deliberate. A fennec is a small desert fox with large ears — light on its feet, built to hear what others miss. Aware. Watchful. Always. is the standard we hold the work to.
