PDPA stands for Personal Data Protection Act. The PDPA regulates the collection and processing of personal data in Singapore. It has been around for more than a decade now. The PDPA provides a set of guidelines for the various requirements governing the collection, use, disclosure and care of personal data in Singapore. The PDPA also comes with a hefty fine for any non-compliance of up to SGD1 million or 10% of your annual revenue, whichever is high.
PDPA 对您和您的公司意味着什么？
如果您正在收集和/或处理个人数据，您需要深入了解 PDPA 并了解您的义务。由于数据保护官是法律规定的公司中的唯一角色，因此对保护所收集的个人数据的重视不可低估。
如果公司不能迅速履行保护个人数据的义务和义务，他们就会暴露自己。数据泄露的后果可能会产生破坏性后果。处以罚款会严重影响公司的财务状况。在某些情况下，当公司无力支付罚款时，可能会被迫永久关闭。
绞索正在收紧
并不是想听起来过于戏剧化，PDPA 的绞索每天都在收紧。如果您不解决与收集的个人数据相关的问题，那么不遵守 PDPA 和后续调查的可能性每天都在增加。以下是三个原因。
越来越多的人了解他们在个人数据方面的权利。他们了解法规的注意事项。了解他们的权利后，他们可能会将任何失误通知 PDPA。
Secondly, companies are fast becoming increasingly porous. In the past, data could only move about within the corporate network. With USB drives and handheld devices entering their workplaces, data could be easily copied and taken out of the office. Also, with online storage on the Internet, files and folders could be easily transferred out of the company’s network and onto the Internet.
The recent Covid outbreak does not help in protecting personal data. Instead, it ups the notch in making a company more porous and susceptible to a cyberattack. Before Covid, most of the workforce was working within the company’s network, behind the company’s corporate firewall.
新冠疫情后，人们现在在公司防火墙之外的家工作。他们必须远程连接到网络。这种远程工作安排使远程用户面临网络犯罪分子的攻击。
如果没有适当的政策、技术控制和网络意识培训来管理员工的行为，公司就会给自己带来麻烦。
