While specific requirements are not statutorily prescribed for under the PDPA, the PDPC's Advisory Guidelines state that organizations should ensure that individuals appointed as DPOs are trained and certified. A DPO should be sufficiently skilled and knowledgeable, adequately empowered to discharge their duties as a DPO, and ideally should be a member of the organization's senior management team or have a direct reporting line to the organization's senior management team.
