Practical compliance frameworks and privacy counsel for businesses and organisations — navigating the legal and regulatory requirements governing personal information with precision and commercial awareness.
Data protection law is no longer a back-office concern. The collection, use, storage, disclosure and protection of personal information carries significant legal, operational and reputational risk for every organisation that holds it.
We advise businesses and organisations on the legal and regulatory requirements governing personal information in Botswana. Our practice assists clients to develop practical data protection frameworks that are proportionate to their operations and aligned with their legal obligations.
Whether you are building a compliance programme from the ground up or reviewing existing data practices, Mhlanga Legal provides targeted, commercially grounded advice.
From initial compliance assessments to ongoing advisory, we support organisations at every stage of their data protection obligations.
Assessment of your current data practices against applicable legal requirements, identification of compliance gaps, and a structured remediation plan that is proportionate to your organisation's size and risk profile.
Drafting and review of privacy policies, cookie notices, consent forms, and employee data notices — clear, legally sound documentation that meets regulatory standards and communicates effectively to data subjects.
Structured agreements governing the processing of personal information by third-party service providers, ensuring contractual protections are in place and obligations are clearly allocated between parties.
Development of internal data governance frameworks, data retention schedules, data classification policies, and accountability structures that embed compliance into your organisation's operational processes.
Tailored staff training on data protection obligations, followed by periodic compliance reviews to ensure your frameworks remain current as your organisation's data practices and the regulatory landscape evolve.
Ongoing retainer advisory for organisations — providing real-time guidance on data handling decisions, incident response, regulatory queries, and the data protection implications of new products, services, or partnerships.
We map your current data flows, assess your legal obligations, and identify the gaps between where you are and where you need to be.
We design a compliance framework that is proportionate to your operations — practical, implementable, and aligned with your risk exposure.
We prepare the policies, agreements, notices, and governance documents needed to evidence your compliance and protect your organisation.
We provide continuing advisory to ensure your programme stays current as your business grows and the regulatory environment develops.
