The breach of PDPA Singapore occurs when organisations become negligent of their obligations under the PDPA. In breaching the PDPA, here are 5 things every organisations should know.
Bad actors are always lurking. This is why it is important for organisations to be vigilant in protecting personal data. Organisations should always remember that aside from the hefty penalty that the PDPC could impose, the organisation could also lose customers and potential clients in the future in case of a breach.
Employees are considered the weakest link when it comes to the organisation’s cybersecurity. Provided that employees have access to the personal data that the organisation manages, employee sabotage is the biggest insider threat that must be addressed before it becomes a problem in the future.
Protecting customer information matters as failure to do so would mean a financial penalty imposed by the PDPC, ranging up to S$1,000,000, and the loss of trust from customers and potential future clients.
