TL;DR
Data privacy compliance is a near-universal obligation for MSP clients — and one of the most common triggers for compliance engagements. 6clicks gives partners the frameworks and tools to deliver privacy compliance as a structured, recurring service.
Why data privacy compliance matters to every client
Almost every organisation collects, processes, or stores personal data. Whether it is customer information, employee records, or supplier contacts, personal data is governed by a growing body of privacy legislation that imposes real obligations and real consequences for non-compliance.
For managed service providers (MSPs), data privacy is one of the most accessible entry points into GRC services: clients understand the obligation intuitively, the regulatory frameworks are well-established, and the consequences of non-compliance are widely reported.
Key privacy regulations MSPs need to know
- GDPR (EU/UK) — the General Data Protection Regulation applies to any organisation handling personal data of EU or UK residents, regardless of where the organisation is based. Fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover.
- Australian Privacy Act — applies to organisations with annual turnover over $3M and certain other categories. The 2024 reforms have significantly increased obligations and penalties.
- CCPA / CPRA (California) — applies to organisations handling personal data of California residents above defined thresholds.
- PDPA (Singapore, Thailand) — personal data protection acts apply in multiple Asian jurisdictions.
- POPIA (South Africa) — the Protection of Personal Information Act imposes obligations on organisations processing personal data of South African residents.
