⚠️ Have you appointed a Singapore Data Protection Officer (DPO)?
⌛ For all Singapore companies, the deadline is 30 September 2024.
What exactly does a DPO do?
A DPO helps your organisation:
🔸 Develop data protection policies
🔸 Guide a gap analysis
🔸 Communicate data protection policies to employees (through training)
🔸 Develop a process to handle data protection complaints
🔸 Respond to the public
🔸 Be the contact point for the Personal Data Protection Commission
✨ When I started my own data privacy consulting, NorthStar Data Privacy, the most asked question was:
“Do you provide DPO-as-a-service?”
“It depends.” (Typical lawyer answer.)
▶️ If you’re an MNC with an existing privacy program; or
▶️ A Singapore company with 5 or more subsidiaries needing a DPO,
I would be happy to help you meet the 30 September deadline.
💡 Did you know that it is mandatory to appoint a DPO?
