The ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region has seen a rapid increase in the use of digital technology, leading to a greater need for data protection and privacy regulations. Many ASEAN countries have implemented laws and regulations to safeguard personal data and protect individual privacy, such as the Philippines’ Data Privacy Act, Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act, and Indonesian newly established Personal Data Protection Law.

Fascinatingly, the data protection and privacy landscape in ASEAN is diverse, with different laws and regulations in each country. This can create challenges for businesses operating in the region, as they must navigate and comply with multiple legal frameworks.

Collaborating with Center for Risk Management and Sustainability (CRMS), ERMA conducts training specifically designed to provide an overview of the key data protection and privacy regulations in ASEAN and help participants understand their obligations under these laws. It will cover topics such as data security, data breaches, data protection impact analysis (DPIA), and cross-border data transfers and provide practical guidance on how to comply with the various legal environments.
