Data Privacy Programs in the Philippines

Privacy is a discipline of its own. We build the program the Data Privacy Act and your global clients require, and keep it defensible.

Why it matters

Under the Data Privacy Act, privacy is a legal obligation with real penalties, not a security afterthought.

The Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) requires most organisations to register with the National Privacy Commission, appoint a Data Protection Officer, and report breaches within 72 hours. BPOs carry more still: their overseas clients push GDPR, CCPA and Australian Privacy obligations down the contract. The exposure is financial and reputational.

Privacy needs its own governance, not a line in a security policy. Our privacy practitioners design the program, run the assessments, and embed privacy into how you build products, coordinating with our security team so the two reinforce each other.

Questions

Answers before you ask.

Non-compliance can carry significant fines and, in serious cases, criminal liability, alongside reputational damage and lost contracts. Building a proper program is far cheaper than the exposure.

The Data Privacy Act requires notification to the National Privacy Commission and affected individuals within 72 hours of knowledge of a serious breach. Your response plan should make that deadline achievable.

Yes. For BPOs and exporters we build a single program that satisfies the Philippine Data Privacy Act and the GDPR or Australian obligations your clients impose, rather than running two.

Most organisations processing personal data do, and must appoint a Data Protection Officer. We assess your obligations and handle the groundwork.

Yes. We can support your existing DPO or provide the function on an outsourced basis, backed by our security team.

Yes. For BPOs and exporters we build one program that satisfies the Data Privacy Act and the GDPR or Australian obligations your clients impose.

What to look for

Getting privacy right

Privacy under the Data Privacy Act is a program, not a policy. A few things keep it defensible.

A real DPO function

The law expects a Data Protection Officer with genuine authority, not a nominal appointment. The role needs support and independence to work.

Know your data

You cannot protect what you have not mapped. A data inventory and classification is the foundation everything else rests on.

Assess before you launch

New systems and products create new privacy risk. A privacy impact assessment before launch is far cheaper than a breach after.

Global obligations

If you serve overseas clients, GDPR or Australian Privacy obligations flow to you through contracts. One program should satisfy them and the local law together.
