Background & Problem

Jamaica’s Data Protection Act has been in effect since 2023 and all organizations that process personal data are required to comply. At a minimum, the Act requires organizations to:

- Register with the Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC),

- Appoint a qualified and independent Data Protection Officer (DPO), and

- Implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal data.

Many companies remain unaware, unprepared or under-resourced to meet these legal obligations despite the growing reputational and legal risks.

Additionally, recruiting a qualified in-house DPO in Jamaica currently requires a salary of between JM$5.2M and JM$7M annually, as advertised in Circular No. 172 published by the Office of the Services Commissions on April 24, 2024. For many, this is far beyond reach.

The Solution: “JMEA Secure by JMEA & Securys

To address these challenges, Securys (Jamaica) Ltd. has partnered with the Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters Association (JMEA) to launch a special Umbrella Compliance Programme tailored specifically for Jamaican Manufacturers. This includes:

✓ A core service offering of Privacy Posture & Exposure Review (Gap Analysis) coupled with ongoing Data Protection Officer as a Service (DPOaaS),

✓ A customized Remediation Plan based on each business' operations, size and data risks. This further allows for a customized costed support for technical and policy remediation, based on the business,

✓ A Digital Onboarding Questionnaire to assess and streamline onboarding.

The impact of this partnership sees institutions within JMEA, saving as much as 30% off the cost of delivering these services.

Why Manufacturers and Exporters Should Act Now

This is a special, sector-exclusive offer, carefully designed for Manufacturers and Exporters within the JMEA Secure umbrella. It is not available to the general market and no other arrangement currently matches its affordability, depth of service and legal alignment.

Institutions are therefore strongly encouraged to lean into this opportunity while it remains available.

✓ Compliance is already required under the law and Businesses are not exempt. Failure to act could expose your organization to legal, financial and reputational risks.

✓ While fines and penalties may appear delayed, this is a limited window of grace. The time to act is before this type of enforcement becomes widespread and public.

By joining now, your organization secures access to a comprehensive, budget-friendly compliance solution with the benefit of sector expertise and support.
