Co-organised by the PDPC and the Centre for Information Policy Leadership (CIPL), the workshop enables participants to engage international and local industry experts on the roles of certifications (e.g. APEC CBPR and PRP, EU BCR, EU GDPR, codes of conduct, Singapore DP Trustmark) as accountability and compliance tools, in data transfers and as a mechanism for global interoperability. Options for making different regional certification schemes interoperable with one another, so that certified companies can leverage the common elements of such certifications when certifying under other schemes, will also be explored.
