One regulator. One data trail.
Every obligation, accounted for.

IDMIS is ODPC's digital home for registration, breach notification, compliance, audits, certification, complaints and enforcement — built so every data controller and processor in Kenya can meet the Data Protection Act, 2019 online, and so the public can verify who they're trusting with their data.

Why IDMIS

Built around the Data Protection Act, 2019
