To assist organisations in complying with their data protection obligations, the Personal Data Protection Commission (“PDPC“) has issued a number of guides on data protection. On 14 September 2021, the PDPC announced the following guides:
(a) New Guide to Data Protection Practices for Info-Comm Technology Systems;
(b) Updated Guide to Developing a Data Protection Management Programme; and
(c) Updated Guide to Data Protection Impact Assessments.
In this Update, we highlight the key changes to the PDPC guides, what organisations should be aware of, and how the multi-disciplinary team from Rajah & Tann Singapore’s Technology, Media and Telecommunications practice and from Rajah & Tann Cybersecurity can support organisations seeking to assess their data protection systems and conduct remedial efforts.
