PDPA Compliance Platform: Achieve Data Protection Excellence in Singapore

The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) is Singapore’s primary data privacy law, regulating how organizations collect, use, and disclose personal data. Compliance is mandatory for businesses operating in Singapore, with strict penalties for violations. A PDPA compliance platform helps companies streamline data protection, mitigate risks, and maintain consumer trust.

Key PDPA Requirements

To comply with PDPA, organizations must address:

Consent Obligation

Businesses must obtain clear consent before collecting or using personal data.

Purpose Limitation Obligation

Data can only be used for the purposes stated at the time of collection.

Notification Obligation

Organizations must inform individuals about how their data will be used.

Access & Correction Obligation

Individuals have the right to access and correct their personal data.

Retention Limitation Obligation

Personal data must not be retained longer than necessary.

Protection Obligation

Appropriate security measures must be in place to prevent data breaches.

Transfer Limitation Obligation

Data transferred outside Singapore must be adequately protected.

Breach Notification Obligation

Organizations must report data breaches that pose significant harm.

Challenges in PDPA Compliance

Businesses face several challenges in ensuring PDPA compliance, including:

Managing consent effectively.

Tracking and managing consent across different platforms can be complex.

Ensuring transparent data practices.

Organizations must clearly communicate their data handling policies.

Responding to access and correction requests.

Handling individual data requests efficiently requires structured workflows.

Maintaining robust data protection measures.

Companies must implement strong security protocols to prevent breaches.
