Singapore Personal Data Protection Act

PDPA requires organizations to maintain accountability and transparency in the handling of personal data. Fortra DLP supports these requirements by generating comprehensive audit trails and reports that track all data access, use, and transfers. These audit logs are essential for demonstrating compliance with PDPA during audits and investigations, providing a clear record of how personal data is managed within the organization.

Consistent application of data protection policies is critical for PDPA compliance. Fortra DLP automates the enforcement of data protection policies, ensuring that personal data is handled in accordance with organizational and regulatory standards. This includes automatically encrypting or restricting access to personal data, reducing the likelihood of non-compliance due to human error or oversight.

The PDPA requires organizations to respond promptly to data breaches and notify affected individuals and the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) in the event of significant breaches. Fortra DLP provides tools for the rapid detection and response to security incidents, enabling organizations to quickly identify breaches involving personal data and take appropriate action. 

PDPA has strict regulations regarding the transfer of personal data outside Singapore, requiring organizations to ensure that the transferred data is protected at a standard comparable to Singapore’s. Fortra DLP helps manage and secure cross-border data transfers by enforcing encryption and access controls, ensuring that personal data remains protected even when transferred internationally.
