On 30 July 2024, a delegation from DPEX Asia, led by its Chairman Professor Abu Bakar Munir and Head of Strategy Dr. Firdaus Muhammad Sukki, visited SPEED for a meeting. SPEED was represented by its Head, Philip Lim, along with his team and Advisory Council Member Datuk Amirnuddin Mazlan.
The discussion centered on the recent amendments to the Personal Data Protection Act 2010, which have introduced significant changes in data management and compliance requirements.
These amendments present a unique opportunity for SPEED and DPEX Asia to explore strategic partnerships, particularly in the realms of certification and training. The discussion highlighted the potential for collaborative efforts to enhance data protection practices and build robust frameworks for compliance.
By leveraging their combined expertise, SPEED and DPEX Asia aim to work collaboratively and offer comprehensive certification programmes and training modules that address the evolving regulatory landscape. This collaboration is poised to set new standards in data protection and support organizations in navigating the complexities of the amended legislation.
