Parliament: Proposed changes in law include stiffer fines for data breaches, mandatory notification when breaches occur

SINGAPORE - A company found guilty of a data breach can be fined up to 10 per cent of its annual turnover in Singapore, under a change in the law that protects personal data,

Other prospective changes include making it mandatory for organisations to notify the Personal Data Protection Commission of data breaches that are likely to harm the affected individuals. "Key to this are the requirements in terms of the accountability... of enterprises or other entities who are collecting information for its use, and the enforcement measures and other tools available to regulators to ensure compliance," he added.
