Before launch in Mauritius, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under Data Protection Act 2017.

- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Mauritius.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for a custom CRM & HRMS software in Mauritius
For clients in Mauritius we usually host on Cape Town or Johannesburg cloud regions, or EU regions where permitted. The choice balances latency for local users, Data Protection Act 2017 requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
