Privacy is a human right. It shouldn't cost anything to find out where you stand.
Most organisations trying to figure out their data-protection obligations hit the same wall: the law is dense, advice is expensive, and the first honest answer usually comes only after money has changed hands. Privacy Lab exists to remove that wall — for individuals, small organisations, researchers, and anyone who just needs a straight answer.
It is Assegai's not-for-profit unit, built and operated with the same engineering discipline as Trident — anonymous-first by design, so using it never requires an account, a login, or handing over personal data. If it later reveals gaps worth fixing properly, Trident Protect is there for that. Privacy Lab itself asks nothing of you.
Three ways in
Each one stands alone — pick the one that matches what's actually on your mind right now.
POTRAZ Tier & DPO Checker
Answer a few questions about your organisation; get a straight verdict on your licensing tier, fee, and whether you need a DPO — with the exact statutory reference behind it.
Breach First-Response Check
Think you’ve had a breach? Zimbabwe gives you 24 hours to notify POTRAZ. This walks you through what counts, and what to do right now.
Data Protection Needs Assessment
The full picture: a guided assessment tailored to what your organisation actually does, ending in a plain-language list of what to fix first.
One guided journey, not a pile of forms
The three tools above are entry points into a single seven-stage journey covering the full span of what a data controller actually needs to know. Answer something once and Privacy Lab remembers it — nothing is asked twice across stages, and your progress is always visible.
Privacy Lab tells you where you stand. Trident Protect runs your compliance.
A free check is a diagnosis, not ongoing treatment. If Privacy Lab surfaces real gaps — a missing licence, no DPO, no breach process — that's exactly what Trident Protect is built to close: a managed platform with an actual DPO in the loop, not another form to fill in alone.
