South Africa has some of the strictest data protection laws on the continent with POPIA. Financial institutions must ensure personal data stays within approved jurisdictions. Kovara Cloud is purpose-built for POPIA compliance — your data stays in South Africa, hosted in-region under your regulator's jurisdiction (self-hosting available on Institutional when required).
