This practical 78-minute course, “21 Tasks to Start Compliance to the PDPA,” is designed specifically for individuals and organisations looking to take their first practical steps towards compliance with Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). In addition, the principles in this book can be applied to most privacy laws too.
Participants will be introduced to a structured approach using the APSR Privacy Lifecycle: Assess, Protect, Sustain, Respond. Through this proven framework, learners will be guided through 21 essential tasks that will help them build a solid foundation for privacy management within their organisations. These tasks cover not only compliance but also strategies for enhancing privacy maturity over time.
By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to identify and map out key PDPA compliance activities, understand how to implement practical governance measures suitable for Small and Medium Enterprises, and develop an internal action plan to sustain compliance efforts. Each task is explained in straightforward, jargon-free language, making this course ideal for first-time Data Protection Officers (DPOs) and professionals who may not have legal or compliance backgrounds.
This course is highly relevant to SME owners, administrators, and operational leads in HR, IT, or compliance functions who have been tasked with ensuring their organisation’s compliance but lack formal training in data protection. It provides a clear starting point, actionable steps, and practical insights to navigate PDPA requirements with confidence.
Learners will leave the course with clarity on what they need to do, how to prioritise their efforts, and how to communicate the importance of data protection across their organisation.
- First-time or newly appointed Data Protection Officers (DPOs)
- SME owners, managers, and administrators
- HR, IT, or Compliance professionals responsible for data protection in their organisation
- Anyone supporting PDPA implementation in a business or nonprofit setting
