How Colloxa governs

Every governed interaction in your South African scope follows the same enforcement path: from authorised control path to signed evidence mapped to POPIA and related obligations.

  1. An employee or system sends an AI request through a path your organisation has authorised.

    Control paths

  2. Regulated data is identified before anything reaches an external model provider.

    Detection

  3. The active policy version is evaluated per request with obligation references recorded.

    Policy

  4. Colloxa allows, warns, coaches, blocks, or quarantines — with honest surface classification.

    Enforcement

  5. Every decision is signed, hashed, and exportable as a PDF evidence pack.

    Evidence

Detection examples
  • South African ID numbers and identity patterns
  • Payroll and remuneration file indicators
  • Customer PII in prompts to public LLMs
  • Cross-border transfer context (non-EEA model hosting)

Regulatory context

Until a final national AI Act, South African enterprise AI governance runs through POPIA and sector standards. Colloxa evidences enforcement on authorised control paths — not a claim of full compliance on day one.

  • Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), 2013
  • Cybercrimes Act, 2020
  • Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA)
  • National AI Policy Framework (2024) · draft policy under revision
