GCNet urges businesses to commit to Data Protection Implementation

The Ghana Community Network Services Limited (GCNet) has called on businesses to support the Data Protection Commission in the implementation of the Data Protection Act.

The GCNet said this was necessary in the wake of the growing information economy and its associated opportunities and risks.

Making a presentation on the perspectives of GCNet on Data Protection during the 2017 Data Protection Conference, Deputy Manager for I.T Security, Mr Roger Akrong noted that support for the Data Protection Commission was critical to consolidate the data protection and information security regimes in the country to accelerate growth.

Mr Akrong said that corporate Ghana’s support in the implementation of the Data Protection Act was a sure recipe to creating an enabling environment for stakeholders involved in the information economy to build a robust, vibrant I.T driven country.
