PDPA-UPDATES AND IMPLICATION TO THE INDUSTRY-2023-2024
INVITATION TO PIKOM GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE (GAC) MEETING TO DISCUSS PIKOM POSITION ON THE COMING UPDATES OF THE PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION ACT (PDPA)
The Minister of Communications and Digital (KKD) has several times announced that his ministry will be updating the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) soon. PIKOM, in recent meetings with the Minister, discovered that the Personal Data Protection (PDP) Department plans to have the updated act approved by the cabinet by October 2023 or early 2024.
Intelligence from experts on this has shared that the changes will be based on 5 new pillars:
1. Mandatory appointment of a Data Protection Officer.
2. Mandating portability of PII.
3. Data Breach Notification.
4. Addition obligations of data processor.
5. Cross border data transfer.
These have a significant impact on the industry. However, to this date, there has been no consultation with the private sector stakeholders.
The PIKOM council has supported the proposal for GAC to work on a PIKOM position, and subsequently engage the Minister and provide inputs on behalf of the industry.
We would hereby like to invite all interested parties to a meeting to discuss this.
