Balancing VAPT and PDPA compliance for optimum data security

Balancing VAPT and PDPA compliance is a must for optimum data security of organisations in Singapore.

Balancing VAPT and PDPA compliance for optimum data security

Balancing Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) and Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) compliance is crucial for optimum data security, particularly with the continually evolving cyber threat landscape. This balance requires understanding the requirements of both VAPT and the PDPA.

The PDPA, according to Singapore Legal Advice, is legislation that protects personal data in Singapore. The PDPA stipulates that organisations must inform individuals about the purposes for which their data is being collected, used, or disclosed. Further, they should only gather data for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the given context.

The PDPA compliance not only acknowledges the rights of individuals to protect their personal data but also holds businesses accountable for its adherence. Any failure to comply could result in a complaint to the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC), leading to investigations and potential repercussions.

However, protecting personal data goes beyond legislative compliance. This is where VAPT comes in. VAPT is a comprehensive assessment process to identify potential vulnerabilities in a system and assess the system’s ability to resist cyber-attacks. VAPT helps businesses ensure their systems are robust enough to protect the personal data they collect and use.

The PDPA stipulates that organisations must inform individuals about the purposes for which their data is being collected, used, or disclosed.

A critical aspect of data security

Balancing VAPT and PDPA compliance is a critical aspect of data security. On the one hand, VAPT ensures that the systems collecting and processing personal data are secure. On the other hand, PDPA compliance ensures that businesses are not only legally compliant but also ethically gathering, using, and disclosing personal data.

The balance lies in utilising VAPT to build secure systems and processes while strictly adhering to PDPA obligations in all data handling procedures. Organisations should carry out regular VAPT exercises to identify and mitigate any potential vulnerabilities in their systems. At the same time, businesses should have a clear understanding of the purposes for which they collect personal data and ensure that individuals are aware of these purposes.

VAPT helps businesses ensure their systems are robust enough to protect the personal data they collect and use.

While striving for this balance, businesses should also take into account the recent amendments to the PDPA. As highlighted by the Strait Times and PwC, these amendments, which came into effect in November 2020, may involve striking a balance between protecting consumers’ personal data and enabling innovative use of such data.

Penetration testing to combat cybersecurity threats

One of the best ways to combat cybersecurity threats in today’s modern time is by conducting regular penetration testing. Remember, if you suffered a data breach under the PDPA, you could be liable for up to a financial penalty of S$1,000,000. Luckily, Privacy Ninja is here to help you check if there are any vulnerabilities in your system.
