Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC)’s Post

This is the list of documents needed to comply with the PDPA. I normally skip the Gap analysis since almost all organisations do not comply so because it is not a gap but a hole. Thus, I normally jumps directly into mapping the organisation's data flow process, analyse their IT setup and provide recommendation to streamline and also secure the data accordingly. I don't like to go through the theory process so that I can save time and get things done much faster.

Do you diligently monitor and assess your organisation’s personal data protection policies and practices to ensure compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and conduct audits to address any identified gaps? If so, you may be a Data Protection (DP) Executive! Continue reading to explore the core competencies and key responsibilities that define the role of a DP Executive. We recognise that many data protection professionals are balancing multiple responsibilities within their roles. To support you in navigating this complex landscape, we want to help with providing you with relevant resources and targeted training opportunities.

Martin Hoskins has triggered off an exchange on training for DPOs etc. Here is my ha'penny. Whatever DPO training option you choose, the decision about training provider is not just about time and costs. The objective is to ensure that you or your member of staff receives the best quality training from leading experts in areas where DP knowledge is essential. This maximises the chance of enhancing DPO knowledge (and passing any exam with a good mark). The syllabus is an important selection criteria. For example, IAPP’s CIPP/E is a Foundation Level Course, and its syllabus focuses on the European GDPR and raises general features common to all EU data protection law. By contrast, Amberhawk’s courses focus on the British Computer Society (BCS) syllabus and the detail of the UK’s version of the GDPR and the DPA2018 (and any later modification). Most other training providers should have the syllabus in the public domain, and like Amberhawk, prepare candidates for any exam. The BCS syllabus is unique in that the syllabus and exam are the responsibility of BCS; the training provider only covers the content of the syllabus. This avoids the potential conflict of interest that arises when a training provider, syllabus producer and examiner is the same body. Due diligence is necessary. In summary, it boils down to a question of “horses for courses” where the "horse" is the syllabus and how well it fits with your training objectives, and the "course" is the quality of the training provider. Check both out before you choose.

Thrilled to announce my accomplishment of the ISO/IEC 27701:2019 PIMS Lead Implementer certification, empowering enhanced data privacy practices in today's data-driven world. I would like to extend my gratitude to SISA and TÜV SÜD for their support . Excited for the continued growth ahead! #DataPrivacy #PIMS #CertificationAchievement"

For a side project, I would like to talk to a few people who have done some data protection certification such as the "Professional certificate in data protection" (level 9) by UCD / IOB / Compliance Institute in Ireland (I know this one, this is an example) as well as talking to those providing such courses. I am interested in courses that deliver a DPO type certification. For my purpose, they would have to be run by a reputable EEA-EU based organisation (it means if not headquartered / run in the EEA, don't reply). I am not interested in IAPP certifications as their program is well known, nor am I interested in DPO certifications that can be found in a box of washing powder (I remember as a kid some gave toys) nor those found in Kinder eggs. The side project would be to compile a list of a few courses available and to understand what they offer to whom.
