There are now stricter guidelines for handling NRIC in Singapore. Now, organisations cannot collect, use, and disclose personal data unless it is for the requirement under the law or to establish or verify the identities of individuals with a high degree of fidelity.
Conducting a DPIA ensures that the policies and procedures to be implemented comply with the obligations stated in the PDPA. With this, organisations in Singapore should see to it that whenever there are changes in the policies implemented or changes in general to the functions and services of the organisation, a DPIA must be first conducted to ensure that any possible loopholes or vulnerabilities are covered and acknowledged.
Organisations should see to it that they will not breach the protection obligation. Safeguards should be set in place so that there will be no instances of personal data leaking out or being compromised. Hiring an outsourced DPO could help ensure that a breach will not happen as this is the officer that oversees the cybersecurity hygiene of the organisation.
