Summary

Many organisations in Singapore engage in cross border transfers but what are some of the potential pitfalls every compliance team should be aware of when transferring data across borders, and what are some tools that can help?

Learn in this workshop how your organisation can get ready in an era where cross border transfers are becoming more complex, as we take you through a brief overview of issues in cross border transfers, practical scenarios and how the new Joint Guide to ASEAN Model Contractual Clauses (MCCs) and EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) can help with certain transfers. 

Suitable for in-house counsels, data protection officers and data protection compliance teams.

Summary

In today's data-driven world, organisations face increasing challenges in securing personally identifiable information (PII). To address such challenges, one effective approach lies in following data anonymisation best practices. Join us for a scenario-based workshop to explore the principles and practical applications of data anonymisation and discover how anonymisation can be effectively utilised with a hands-on exercise using the PDPC's Data Anonymisation Tool.

Note: As the workshop involves the management of the Data Anonymisation Tool, organisations are encouraged to register a member of their technical team for the workshop if desired.

Suitable for data protection officers in SMEs, early career privacy professionals, chief data officers, AI/data product developers and their technical teams.

Summary
