Background & Problem 

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

- Register with the Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC), 
 
- Appoint a qualified and independent Data Protection Officer (DPO), and
 
- Implement appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal data. 

Many NGO'S 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 most NGO'S, this is far beyond reach.

The Solution: “Privacy With Purpose” Umbrella Initiative by CVSS & Securys

To address these challenges, Securys (Jamaica) Ltd. has partnered with the Council of Voluntary Social Services  (CVSS) to launch a special Umbrella Compliance Programme tailored specifically for NGO's in Jamaica. 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 NGO’s operations, size and data risks. This further allows for a customized costed support for technical and policy remediation, based on organization preference, 

✓ A Digital Onboarding Questionnaire to assess and streamline onboarding. 

The impact of this partnership sees institutions within CVSS, saving as much as 82% off the cost of delivering these services.

Why NGO's Should Act Now

This is a special, sector-exclusive offer, carefully designed for NGO's under the CVSS umbrella. It is not available to the general market and no other arrangement currently matches its affordability, depth of service and legal alignment. NGO's are therefore strongly encouraged to lean into this opportunity while it remains available. The arrangement has been designed to allow the total cost of building, implementing and managing the compliance program to be spread across all the participants rather than being borne individually by each entity.
 
✓ Compliance is already required under the law and NGO's 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.

✓ To ensure quality service and strong outcomes, NGO's will be onboarded in structured cohorts:

➢ Cohort 1 will include all NGO'S that sign their agreement before September 08, 2025, and will begin engagement in October 2025, 

➢ Cohort 2 will include those signing after September 08, with onboarding beginning in January 2026, 

➢ Additional cohorts will follow every October and January thereafter.

✓ The more NGO's that participate early, the better the outcome for all.

Greater participation:

➢ Reinforces shared cost efficiency, 

➢ Helps sustain reduced pricing, especially for smaller NGO's,

➢ Demonstrates sector-wide leadership in ethical data handling and compliance.

✓ Delaying your participation may mean waiting several months to join the next intake cycle – leaving your organization exposed and non-compliant when you should be protected.
 
By joining now, your organization secures access to a comprehensive, budget-friendly compliance solution with the benefit of sector expertise and support.
