01The PDPC asks
01 / 04Show me the list of personal data your company holds.
Most companies
"We would have to check with a few departments."
With your DPO
"Here. Current, dated this quarter, with a lawful basis next to every entry."
Data Protection Officer · Singapore
Personal data leaks out of every team.One person should answer for it.
Singapore law has required every company to name a Data Protection Officer since 2014. We take the role properly: registered with the regulator, your data kept on record, breaches handled to the legal deadline. One fixed monthly fee.
Every detail a regulator could ask about, now with one name responsible for it.
What you are actually appointing
What a Data Protection Officer actually is.
A Data Protection Officer is the person your company names, as required by , to be for the way your company handles . They are also your official point of contact for the , and for the people whose data you hold.

Declassified
section 11(3)
The part of Singapore's PDPA that says every company must appoint a DPO. There is no exemption for being small or new, and naming one does not hand your risk to them, it just gives that risk a clear owner.
In plain terms: the buck stops with your DPO, so it stops being you.
The problem we remove
Naming a DPO is not the same as being covered.
Put both versions of your company in front of the regulator and read the difference. Same four questions, asked the way the PDPC asks them. Only one set of answers survives the meeting.
02The PDPC asks
02 / 04When was your data protection policy last reviewed?
Most companies
"It was written back when we set up the company."
With your DPO
"This quarter. The review notes are attached."
03The PDPC asks
03 / 04Walk me through your breach response plan.
Most companies
"We would figure it out on the day."
With your DPO
"Written and rehearsed. The last run-through is logged."
04The PDPC asks
04 / 04Who is accountable for all of this?
Most companies
"Someone in ops, probably."
With your DPO
"Daniel Kung, our registered DPO. You already have his details."

The stakes
Daniel KungYour appointed DPO S$1Mor 10% of annual turnover
The most the PDPC can fine you under the PDPA since October 2022, whichever is higher. It follows the answers in pink.
One named lawyer on the hook for every answer above, kept true every month. That is the difference between a fine waiting to happen and a record you can hand a regulator today.
The second voice is not a script. It is what having the record actually sounds like, and keeping it true every month is the job we take over.
How the work actually looks
A record that stays current, because someone is keeping it.
Not a once-a-quarter scramble. Day to day, your DPO logs what comes in and closes it out. Scroll to watch a month go by.
