Data Protection Trustmark (DPTM) Certification in Singapore

Stand out as an organisation that goes beyond baseline PDPA. We take you from readiness assessment to a successful DPTM submission — the IMDA/PDPC mark of data-governance maturity.

What is the DPTM?

The Data Protection Trustmark (DPTM), now aligned with Singapore Standard SS 714:2025, is a voluntary certification administered by the IMDA and PDPC. It recognises organisations with sound, accountable data-protection practices that exceed the baseline PDPA requirements.

Certification is valid for three years and is increasingly requested in enterprise and government procurement as evidence of data-governance maturity — a competitive differentiator and a genuine trust signal to customers and partners.

PDPA compliance first, then DPTM

PDPA compliance is a legal obligation; the DPTM is a voluntary recognition for organisations that go further. Many clients build compliance first and then pursue DPTM as their data governance matures. 7-Network can take you along the whole path — see our PDPA compliance and outsourced DPO services — backed by our specialist practice at DataSecurity.sg.
