The PDPA aims to safeguard the rights and freedoms of data subjects and to promote good data governance practices among data controllers and processors.

– Conducting a data protection impact assessment (DPIA) to identify and mitigate the risks associated with the processing of personal data.
– Establishing a data protection policy and procedures to guide its staff on how to handle personal data in accordance with the PDPA principles and requirements.
– Providing regular training and awareness programs to its staff on the PDPA and their roles and responsibilities as data controllers or processors.
– Obtaining consent from its clients before collecting, using, or disclosing their personal data, unless an exemption applies under the PDPA.
– Informing its clients about their rights under the PDPA, such as the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object, or withdraw consent to their personal data.
– Ensuring that its clients’ personal data is accurate, complete, up-to-date, and relevant for the purposes for which it is processed.
– Implementing appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect its clients’ personal data from unauthorized or unlawful access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
– Limiting the retention of its clients’ personal data to the period necessary for the purposes for which it is processed or as required by law.
