Your DPO, appointed and reachable.
Every organisation in Singapore must have a Data Protection Officer. We take on the role for you, so you meet the requirement without a new hire.
- DPO appointment and PDPC registration, so your business shows up correctly on PDPC's public DPO Registry.
- A working contact channel for customers and staff to raise data questions and access or correction requests.
- A monthly PDPA update for your team: common risk gaps, what to do about them, and one quick action for the month.
- 24/7 advisory support, including help assessing a data breach and notifying PDPC when it's required.
Four steps to a working DPO.
- Appointment. We're appointed as your Data Protection Officer.
- Registration. We register (or update) your DPO details with PDPC, so your public listing is correct.
- Communication setup. We set up a real channel your customers and staff can use for data questions.
- Ongoing support. Monthly updates for your team, and someone to call when a data question or breach comes up.
Built for SMEs.
| Your situation | Our suggestion |
|---|---|
| No DPO, or nobody with time to do it | Basic DPO as a Service is the right starting point |
| A DPO who has left, or an out-of-date listing | We take over the role and update your PDPC registration |
| No written data protection policy | Add a PDPA Policy Review to see what's missing first |
| Staff who handle customer data daily | Add a PDPA training session for the team |
| Sensitive data at scale, or Trustmark certification needed | You'll need more than the basics. We'll tell you upfront and quote it |

Questions about DPO as a Service.
Yes. The DPO doesn't have to be an in-house hire. The role can be outsourced to a service provider, which is exactly what DPO as a Service covers.
DPO appointment and PDPC registration, a working communication channel, a monthly PDPA awareness update for your team, and 24/7 advisory support. Policy reviews, training, DPMP and DPIA work are separate.
Call us. We help you assess whether the breach is notifiable. If it is likely to cause significant harm, or affects 500 or more people, PDPC must be notified no later than 3 calendar days after you've assessed it as notifiable.
Yes. PDPC lets an organisation register up to two DPOs, so you can have an internal contact alongside us.
No. Our DPO service covers Singapore's PDPA only. If you need coverage in other countries, you'll need a local adviser there.
Yes, as long as the DPO actually does the job. The PDPA doesn't require the DPO to be full-time, in-house or expensive. What matters is that they're appointed, registered, reachable, and handle data questions and breaches properly.
