Appoint a PDPA-qualified Data Protection Officer for your organisation — registered with the PDPC, without the cost, training or overhead of a full-time hire.
Under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), every organisation that collects, uses or discloses personal data is required to designate at least one Data Protection Officer (DPO) — and, since the PDPC's mandatory-appointment requirement took effect, to make the DPO's business contact information publicly available.
The DPO is accountable for your organisation's compliance: developing data protection policies, handling data-subject queries and complaints, managing data breaches, and acting as the point of contact for the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC). The role can be filled by an employee — or outsourced to a qualified external provider such as 7-Network.
7-Network Pte Ltd has been a Singapore technology and compliance partner since 1991. Outsourcing your DPO to us gives you certified expertise from day one, without recruiting, training and retaining a specialist in-house:
DPO outsourcing can also be bundled into Unified Governance as a Service (UGaaS) — our managed offering that brings security, IT, compliance and business applications together under one monthly subscription.
1. Free consultation & gap review. We assess your current data-handling posture and what the PDPA requires of your organisation.
2. Appointment & registration. We register our consultant as your DPO with ACRA BizFile and publish the required contact details.
3. Ongoing management. We run your data-protection programme — advisory, training, breach response and the annual audit — so you can focus on your business.
Yes. Under the PDPA, every organisation that collects, uses or discloses personal data must appoint at least one Data Protection Officer and make the DPO's business contact information publicly available. The DPO can be an employee or an outsourced third party.
Yes — the PDPA expressly permits outsourcing the DPO function to a qualified external provider. 7-Network registers our certified consultants as your organisation's DPO via ACRA BizFile and the PDPC, and performs all DPO duties on your behalf.
Far less than a full-time hire. We offer DPO-as-a-service on a fixed monthly or annual engagement, so you get certified expertise and PDPC registration without the salary, training and overhead of an in-house officer.
After an initial consultation and gap review, registration with ACRA BizFile and the PDPC is typically completed within days, and your ongoing compliance programme begins immediately.
