Access to Information

The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) provides this manual to facilitate requests for information under the Promotion of Access to Information Act, No 2 of 2000. It identifies the Human Resources Officer as the point of contact for requests and the Company Secretary as the person responsible for processing them. The ISS maintains records required by various South African laws, including the Income Tax Act and the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, as well as personnel and third-party records. While research papers and articles are automatically available via the ISS website, other information requires a prescribed request form and may be subject to fees or denial based on the Act's grounds.

• The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) is a registered not-for-profit Trust governed by trustees and funded by donors.
• Requests for information under the Promotion of Access to Information Act should be directed to the Human Resources Officer in Pretoria, with the Company Secretary tasked with processing these requests.
• The ISS maintains records in accordance with several pieces of legislation, including the Income Tax Act, Value-Added Tax Act, Unemployment Insurance Act, Basic Conditions of Employment Act, Employment Equity Act, Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act, Insolvency Act, Occupational Health and Safety Act, and Skills Development Act.
• Research papers and articles published by the ISS are automatically available to the public via the organization's website without requiring a formal request under the Act.
