Overview
With more businesses pushing for digital transformation, there is a greater need for stronger Data Protection (DP) capability in businesses. Professionals and executives who are appointed as Data Protection Officers (DPO) need to be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to carry out their functions in order to comply with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
Organisations will have to adopt an accountability-based approach to safeguard personal data and use them responsibly. DPOs need to be very familiar with the obligations under the PDPA so that they are able to identify the compliance risks faced by their organisations. Based on the risks identified, the DPO will need to implement the data protection management programme at the organisation level and data protection impact assessment at the project level to ensure compliance and accountability.
