Vinera Protect

Your data protection officer, on call.

Data Protection Officer (DPO) services for organisations in Singapore. We take on the PDPA work: the appointment, the paperwork, the training and the response on a bad day. It gets done properly, and you get on with the business.

The problem

Every organisation needs a DPO. Few have the time to be one.

Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act requires every organisation to designate at least one person responsible for data protection and to make their business contact information available to the public. In a smaller company that name is usually the founder, the office manager or the IT lead, on top of their real job. The policies are a template nobody has read, and the first real test is the day something leaks.

What we do

Appointed DPO

We act as your Data Protection Officer, or alongside the person you have named, and serve as the published point of contact for data protection queries.

Gap assessment and data inventory

We map what personal data you hold, where it sits, who can reach it and who you share it with, then set out what to fix, in order.

Policies and notices that fit

Data protection policy, privacy notices, consent wording, retention schedule and vendor clauses, written for how you actually operate.

Impact assessments

A data protection impact assessment before a new system, a new vendor or a new use of customer data goes live.

Breach readiness and response

A response plan your team has rehearsed. When an incident happens we help you assess it promptly and, where the law requires, notify the PDPC and the people affected within the statutory timelines.

Requests and complaints handled

Access and correction requests, consent withdrawals and complaints are logged, answered and closed on time.

Staff training

Short, practical sessions so that the people who touch personal data every day know what to do with it.

On site and remote

We come to your office for assessments, training and incidents, and handle the day-to-day remotely.

A standing review

A regular check-in and a written report for management: what changed, what is open, what needs a decision.

How you start

Questions
Can the DPO role be outsourced?

Yes. An organisation may appoint an external party to carry out the DPO function. The organisation itself remains responsible for complying with the PDPA.

Do you work on site?

Yes. We offer both on-site and remote service: on site for assessments, training and incidents, remote for everyday queries and reviews.

Is this legal advice?

No. Protect is a compliance and advisory service. Where a matter needs a lawyer, we say so and work with yours.

Do we need other Vinera products to use Protect?

No. Protect is a standalone service and works with whatever systems you run.

We operate outside Singapore too. Can you help?

Protect is built around Singapore’s PDPA. Tell us where else you operate and we will tell you exactly what we cover.
