Accountability is now the operating standard
Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012, as amended in 2021 and overseen by the PDPC, governs how organisations collect, use, and protect personal data. Its obligations span consent, purpose limitation, notification, access and correction, protection, and retention limitation — anchored by an accountability duty and a required Data Protection Officer.
Since February 2021, data breach notification is mandatory: notifiable breaches must be reported to the PDPC, and affected individuals, within the prescribed thresholds. That single change turned PDPA from a policy exercise into an operational readiness problem you have to be able to execute under pressure.
What we do
- Map. We inventory the personal data you hold and trace how it flows, because you cannot protect what you have not located.
- Assess. We test your practices against each PDPA obligation and flag the material gaps.
- Ready. We build a breach-notification runbook so a real incident does not become a second compliance failure.
- Advise. Your DPO gets a working accountability framework, policies, and customer-facing notices that actually match practice.
One program, many regimes
For multinationals, PDPA sits alongside the GDPR and India's DPDP Act. We map the overlaps so a single, well-run privacy program satisfies Singapore's regulator and your obligations elsewhere — without three disconnected efforts.
