PDPA Compliance for Executives
About This Course
This course will equip the participants with
• the knowledge of the Data Protection and Do-Not-Call provisions of the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act and its impact to businesses
• the understanding that the "Tone at the top" could uplift an organisation from compliance to accountability, and that Data Protection as an organisational culture requires participation by all staffs, and continuous effort over a period of time.
• the ability to lead or supervise the Data Protection Management Programme (DPMP) implementation as a management champion (DPO), by utilising tools and resources provided by PDPC and IMDA to
a) develop and jumpstart the DPMP
b) perform data protection impact assessment (DPIA) and finalizing an action plan agreed by stakeholders
c) conduct periodical revision for DPMP improvements
What You'll Learn
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.
