Kickstart your DPO journey

You don't need a law degree to be a DPO! Your role is about implementing practical data protection measures, not interpreting complex legal texts. Focus on understanding PDPA principles, policies, and processes—most compliance tasks are about good data management, not legal drafting.

That's why SoloDPO exists! You're not alone in balancing this with other duties. Start with small, actionable tasks—you don't need to do everything at once.

PDPA applies to all organizations that handle personal data, no matter the size. In fact, smaller businesses face bigger risks—one mistake can cause trust issues or penalties. A simple compliance plan can protect your company's reputation and customer trust.

It doesn't have to be! Many best practices cost nothing—like training staff, implementing proper access controls, and using free security tools. You don't need expensive lawyers or software to be compliant.

A breach doesn't mean failure—it's how you respond that matters. Having a clear breach response plan ensures quick action. The PDPC focuses on accountability, not punishment, especially if your company took reasonable precautions.
