Already, the DPTM has come in handy. Soon after TRS Forensics obtained it, the company found itself up against several well-known international competitors bidding for a high-value forensics technology project. The DPTM caught the eye of the client, a large European MNC, and TRS Forensics went on to win the contract.
SINGAPORE (July 22): Personal data protection is never far from the mind of Tan Swee Wan, CEO of TRS Forensics. The technology-based consulting firm is one of only a dozen companies that have earned the Infocomm Media Development Authority’s (IMDA) Data Protection Trustmark (DPTM) certification, which was officially launched in January this year.
“In the course of our engagement with clients, TRS Forensics handles a lot of personal data that our clients [have] collected and have the obligation to protect,” Tan tells The Edge Singapore. “It is therefore of utmost importance that we put in place sound mechanisms to protect our clients’ and our own confidential and personal data.”
