As part of advancing Singapore’s digital economy as a trusted data hub, the IMDA has developed the Data Protection Trustmark (DPTM) certification. Adapted from Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and international benchmarks and best practices, this enterprise-wide certification recognises organisations that demonstrate accountability in their data protection practices.
The DPTM is a voluntary enterprise-wide certification that requires organisations to demonstrate that they are able to meet the obligations of the PDPA and have achieved a robust data governance standard.
A DPTM certification will help businesses increase their competitive advantage and build trust with their clients. The DPTM will be a visible indicator that an organisation adopts sound data protection practices.
It is administered by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).
