Lawyers take most data protection jobs
Professions employed in the data protection field have seen their salaries rise over the years in what the survey says indicates an appreciation of their role.
A majority of Kenya’s data protection officers (DPOs) –69.6 percent— are drawn from the legal fields, according to a new survey which shows that privacy laws have expanded employment opportunities for lawyers.
DPOs are among the new professions created by data protection laws passed to safeguard personal privacy and ensure data is not transferred outside Kenya in an environment where the government and commercial operations are increasingly digitised.
