Singapore's Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) has
announced that data breach notification will
soon become mandatory in Singapore. However, not all breaches need
to be reported. We have prepared this guide to aid businesses in
understanding when, to whom and how to notify should they encounter
a data breach.
As further guidance and details on the new requirements will be
provided by PDPC in due course, we will follow up with an updated
guide at the appropriate time.
What is a data breach?
A data breach refers to any unauthorized access, collection,
use, disclosure, copying, modification or disposal of personal data
in an organization's possession or under its control.
