Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019) (“PDPA”) will be fully enforced on 1 June 2021, one year after it was partially postponed due to the Thai government’s recognition that implementing compliance with PDPA law is complex and therefore costly and requires advanced training at all levels.

As the PDPA will soon be enforced, businesses should demonstrate that they are fully compliant with the PDPA to gain the trust of their customers, suppliers, shareholders, stakeholders and the general public, and at the same time mitigate the risk of a data leakage which may cause negative reputational damage and open the door for damaged persons to take legal action against the business owner under general rules.

• Help management, the steering committee, working team and potential Data Protection Officer understand the fundamentals of PDPA compliance
• Identify PDPA exposure on your current business structure and recommend how to mitigate the risks
• Visualize your end-to-end flow of personal data collected inside your organization and that which flows out to others
• Provides key PDPA compliance document templates for implementation
