New framework for data protection officers and certifications for international data flows
Singapore
A NEW framework and training plan for data protection officers (DPOs) has been developed by Singapore's privacy watchdog to clarify their roles and develop their capabilities, in a bid to ensure companies better protect and use data.
In a related move, companies based here can now apply for a pair of internationally recognised data protection certifications that will allow them to seamlessly share data and do business faster with countries like Japan, the United States and Mexico, while being assured that their data would be protected.
