Data protection laws in Singapore are promulgated under the Data Protection Act, with implementation overseen by the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC), an independent statutory body established under the law. The Data ProtectionAct sets forth requirements for Data Controllers to process personal data, which is defined as "any information, whether recorded in a material form or not, from which the Data Controller can identify an individual". The Data Protection Act does not apply to Data Processors.

DPO as a Service provides guidance and advice on data protection issues, including best practicesfor Data Controllers and Data Processors.

 

Organisations are responsible for fulfilling their data protection obligations. However, as Data Protection is a highly specialised field, organisations should not be expected to have Data Protection expertise in-house unless they process personal data on a large scale or as part of their core business activities. Data Protection should complement existingData Protection policies and Data Controllers are encouraged to make use of templates or checklists provided by the Data Protection Officer.
