🔒 WHICH BUSINESSES ARE REQUIRED TO APPOINT A DATA PROTECTION OFFICER (DPO)?
👉 Under Decree No. 13/2023/NĐ-CP, any organization that processes sensitive personal data—such as health information, biometric data, financial data, religious beliefs, etc.—is required to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) as a mandatory safeguard for handling such data.
Examples: fintech companies, hospitals, or businesses that process employee health records (a type of sensitive data) must all appoint a DPO.
👉 According to the draft Law on Personal Data Protection, the appointment of a DPO becomes mandatory for all businesses, regardless of the type of personal data being processed. Specifically, businesses will be required to appoint either an internal DPO with sufficient expertise or outsource the function to a qualified individual or organization (external DPO).
💡What should your business do today?
- Review the categories of personal data your organization is currently processing.
- Assess whether the data is considered “sensitive” (under Decree 13) or falls under the expanded scope (in the draft Law).
- Develop a plan to appoint an internal or external DPO based on your organization’s specific needs.
👉 Contact PrivacyCompliance for guidance on appointing your DPO!
