Under the Singapore PDPA, “reasonable security” is a moving target. Our VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing) services provide the technical validation necessary to secure your PII (Personally Identifiable Information). By simulating real-world attacks, we help you satisfy the PDPC’s requirement for robust technical measures against unauthorized access and data exfiltration.
The PDPA’s mandatory breach notification rule requires reporting significant breaches within 72 hours. Cyborgenic’s Managed SOC ensures your organization isn’t caught off guard. With 24/7 threat hunting and automated alerting, we provide the forensic speed needed to identify, contain, and report breaches before they lead to PDPC investigations and financial penalties.
For Multinational Corporations, the PDPA is one piece of a global puzzle. By pursuing ISO 27701 Certification, you implement a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) that not only satisfies Singapore’s mandates but also aligns with the Data Protection Trustmark (DPTM) standards, facilitating smoother cross-border data transfers and boosting Board-level confidence.
