In the coming months, it is expected that there will be 10 times as many DPO vacancies as there are qualified individuals. You can side-step the challenge of recruiting, onboarding and training, by outsourcing this role to one of Data Protection Outsourcing Sdn Bhd's SMEs. A DPO will be able to help your entity in maintaining its PDPA compliance. You get an experienced and competent specialist who can hit the ground running on appointment at a fraction of the cost of a permanent hire. If you already have an internal DPO, you can even hire an interim DPO from Data Protection Outsourcing Sdn Bhd as an extra pair of hands and eyes to ease the workload or to step-in during the time that your DPO goes on long annual/maternity/sick leave.

Before starting full-fledged work on PDPA compliance, you should learn about all the errors and shortcomings in your business entity's organisational & technical systems, policies and processes. This will allow you to make a specific action plan, calculate the necessary financial and time resources. By ordering PDPA Gap Analysis, you can quickly detect all violations of the PDPA and as soon as possible remediate this gap and reduce the risk of your entity being hugely fined or exposing your Board of Directors and Officers to imprisonment. We will create a list of necessary works and measures (PDPA project scope) and help your entity to prioritize them based on efficiency, resources for implementation and support, the size of fines and the likelihood of consequences.

At Data Protection Outsourcing Sdn Bhd, we have our  Data Privacy team whom you can tap on as a quick reference point for any PDPA-specific business-related questions.

By appointing Data Protection Outsourcing Sdn Bhd to conduct an audit on your commercial organisation's status of PDPA compliance as the third line of defense to ensure that PDPA-compliance is followed through to implementation throughout your organisation.
