SS 714:2025
Strengthen Your Organisation’s Data Protection Framework
As organisations increasingly rely on data to drive operations and decision-making, the need for structured data protection governance has become more critical than ever.
SS 714:2025 is Singapore’s national standard for establishing and maintaining a Data Protection Management System (DPMS). It provides organisations with a comprehensive framework to manage personal data responsibly, ensure compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), and embed accountability across the organisation.
By adopting SS 714:2025, businesses can implement a structured and systematic approach to managing personal data—covering governance, policies, processes, risk management, and continuous improvement.
This standard helps organisations demonstrate their commitment to protecting personal data while strengthening operational resilience and stakeholder confidence.
