Meet Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act with confidence — gap analysis, policies, an outsourced DPO, staff training and breach response, managed end-to-end.

What the PDPA requires of your organisation

The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) is Singapore's data-protection law, enforced by the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC). It governs how organisations collect, use, disclose and safeguard personal data, and applies to virtually every business operating in Singapore — regardless of size.

At its core, the PDPA sets out obligations around consent, purpose limitation, notification, access and correction, accuracy, protection, retention, transfer, accountability and data breach notification. Meeting them is not a one-off exercise — it requires policies, processes and an accountable owner.

Frequently asked questions

What is the PDPA in Singapore?

The Personal Data Protection Act is Singapore's data protection law governing how organisations collect, use, disclose and care for personal data. It is enforced by the PDPC and applies to virtually every organisation operating in Singapore.

Which organisations must comply?

Almost all private-sector organisations that collect, use or disclose personal data must comply — regardless of size — including appointing a Data Protection Officer and implementing compliant policies.

What are the penalties for non-compliance?

The PDPC can impose financial penalties for serious breaches — up to 10% of annual turnover in Singapore or S$1 million, whichever is higher — plus remediation directions and reputational harm.

How long does it take to become compliant?

It depends on your size and current posture, but a focused programme — gap analysis, policies, DPO appointment and training — is typically stood up within weeks, with ongoing advisory thereafter.
