The Singapore Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) of 2012 establishes a general data protection law governing the collection, use, and disclosure of an individual’s information by an organization.
With penalties that target the organization and the individual, PDPA strives to entrench the protection of personal data into the business culture of an organization. The foundation of any data security strategy is to identify your sensitive and regulated data as it empowers users and automated policies to make informed, deliberate decisions on how that information should be protected. Fortra's Data Classification Suite (DCS) helps organizations comply with PDPA by locating, identifying, and classifying the unstructured data that contains personal identifiable information (PII). Once the data has been identified, DCS helps to enforce the critical PDPA obligations for protection, transfer, and retention.
