Study Notes

Data Protection Management Programme (DPMP)

A DPMP is a four-step program for organizations to establish robust data protection infrastructure.
Four steps involved in establishing a DPMP:
- Establishing a governance structure to define values and identify risks with organizational leadership.
- Developing a data protection policy and designating data protection roles and responsibilities.
- Designing processes to operationalize policy.
- Detailing steps to keep data protection policies and processes up-to-date.
Establishing a DPMP demonstrates accountability in data protection, increasing stakeholder confidence and fostering trust with customers and partners.

Benefits of a DPMP

Develop, manage, and maintain a robust data protection infrastructure.
Demonstrate accountability in data protection.
Foster a culture of data protection within the organization.
Provide assurance (adequately developed and implemented) that organization has adequate data protection policies and practices to manage risks and comply with PDPA.
Foster confidence and trust among customers, clients, partners, and stakeholders.
Enhance the organization's public image and reputation, creating a competitive edge.

Components of a DPMP

Step 1: Governance & Risk: Establishing a governance structure to define values and identify risks with organizational leadership.
Step 2: Policy & Practices: Developing a data protection policy and defining data protection roles and responsibilities.
Step 3: Processes: Designing processes to operationalise policy.
Step 4: Review: Detailing steps to keep data protection policies and processes up-to-date.

Considerations for Implementing a DPMP

Management Sponsor: A senior manager, often the CEO or Executive Director, should champion the DPMP and allocate resources.
Stakeholder Involvement: Key stakeholders should be involved, acknowledging their interests and supporting the process.
Internal Resources: Allocating sufficient staff and financial resources dedicated to the implementation of the DPMP.
Risk Management: Establishing an enterprise risk management framework to identify and assess personal data protection risks.
Data Protection Training: Conduct data protection training for all staff.

Getting Started with DPMP

Data Inventory: Develop a data inventory map or data flow diagram to understand personal data flows (collection, storage, use, disclosure, archival, disposition).
Data Handling Analysis: Determine how the organization collects, stores, uses, discloses, and destroys personal data, including any associated risks.
Personal Data Handling: Identify the types of personal data, its purposes, and circumstances of handling.
Consent: Obtain consent from individuals regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of their personal data.
Data Classification: Establish a data classification policy, determining the level of protection. This prioritizes protecting sensitive data.

DPMP with Regard to Data Intermediaries

Organizations must include data intermediaries in their DPMP.
Obligations and responsibilities should be clearly defined and detailed in terms of the contract.
Consider risk assessment and governance, service management, exit management, and data processing.
