Technical Safeguards
Implementation of encryption, robust access controls, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to prevent unauthorized access.
Evidence of Compliance
Maintain documented proof of security testing and remediation activities for PDPC (Personal Data Protection Committee) audits.
Breach Notification Readiness
Testing your incident response capabilities to ensure breaches can be reported within the mandatory 72-hour window.
The High Cost of PDPA Failure
Criminal: Criminal: Fines up to ฿5,000,000 or 1 year imprisonment for executives.
