The Protection of Private Information Act 4 of 2013 provides that the practice or hospital which collects and keeps private information must secure the integrity and confidentiality of the information under its control. It must take appropriate, reasonable, technical and organisational measures to prevent:

1. loss of, damage to or unauthorised destruction of personal information; and
2. unlawful access to or processing of personal information.
