The Importance of Conducting A Privacy Impact Assessment for the NPC Online Registration System
National Capital Region –– On February 3, 2023, the National Privacy Commission launched its Online Registration System (NPCRS) to provide a safe and seamless portal for government bodies and non-government organizations to register their data processing systems through their Data Protection Officers (DPOs) and efficiently comply with the implementing rules and regulations of the Data Privacy Act.
Republic Act No. 10173, or the Data Protection Act of 2012 (DPA), mandates that all organizations that collect, hold, process, or use the personal information of others need to comply with the requirements identified in the law before any such collecting, holding, processing or use may take place. The DPA seeks to balance the free flow of information that promotes innovation and growth while protecting personal information in an organization’s data and communications while protecting personal information in an organization’s information and communications systems. The DPA applies to the public and private sectors. The DPA's Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) set one of the higher bars for compliance standards in the Asia-Pacific region. The law borrowed heavily from some of the more advanced data protection concepts in Europe's GDPR and some of the more stringent requirements emerging in South Korea in recent years." In January 2017, the National Privacy Commission (NPC) released the 5 Pillars of Compliance (the so-called " five (5) commandments" of data privacy) that organizations from the public and private sectors must comply with. These are: 1. Appoint a Data Protection Officer; 2. Conduct a Privacy Impact Assessment; 3. Create your Privacy Management Program; 4. Implement your Privacy and Data Protection Measures; 5. Regularly Exercise your Breach Reporting Procedures.
