    Study Notes

    Maintaining the Data Protection Management Programme (DPMP)

    • Key takeaways for maintaining a DPMP include understanding its components, monitoring internal and external environments, conducting regular reviews of policies and procedures, keeping staff/stakeholders informed of changes, and validating the DPMP.

    • Organisations should routinely review data protection policies and practices to identify gaps and apply remedies, ensuring alignment with regulatory and technological advancements. This also ensures effective management of data protection risks.

    • The Designated Privacy Officer (DPO) should regularly review and revise the DPMP to keep it current, monitoring external environments (e.g., legal changes) and internal environments (e.g., new business projects involving personal data).

    • Regular audits of the organisation's data protection policies and practices are essential. Implement systems for staff to report gaps or risks.

    • Stay informed of amendments to the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and regulations, advisories, personal data protection breaches in other organisations, sector-specific regulations, and best practices from other organisations.

    • Monitor the organisation's internal environment, focusing on collecting, using, disclosing, storing personal data, major system changes, business engagements, data breaches, and stakeholder feedback.

    • Establish procedures for promptly addressing personal data protection breaches, and for staff awareness and/or feedback on data protection policies and processes. Use Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for new or major system changes.

    • Communicating changes to data protection policies and practices to all staff and stakeholders is crucial. Ensure data protection policies and practices are accessible (e.g., organization's repository or intranet) to stakeholders.

    Validating the DPMP

    • Good practices for validating a DPMP include having it reviewed by a third party, seeking certification of policies and practices, and monitoring complaints.

    • Review by a third party or certification can provide confidence that data protection measures align with industry standards.

    • Monitoring complaints can help identify gaps in policies and procedures.

    • Validating the DPMP can provide a competitive advantage and boost consumer trust regarding how the organization handles data.

    Developing the DPMP Audit Plan

    • Organisations may audit the DPMP for compliance with the PDPA (or for other purposes) via internal/external audits.

    • Audits may focus on policies, procedures, systems related to collecting, using, disclosing, and storing personal data, employee awareness, training, and onboarding processes.

    • Auditors should produce reports on the organisation's compliance with the PDPA, policies, practices/SOPs, key issues/shortcomings, and remediation/recommendations.

    • The DPO should regularly report to management on data protection measures. Possible quarterly reports might include policy/practice changes, result/action plans after conducting assessments/DPIAs, personal data risk plans/action items, status/risk ratings of existing risks/newly added risks.

    Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)

    • A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) should be conducted to identify, assess, and address risks associated with new changes/developments that handle personal data.
