Malaysiaโ€™s data protection landscape is entering a new phase. As the PDPA continues to evolve and regulatory expectations increase, the role of the Data Protection Officer is no longer just a compliance function. It is now a critical governance role requiring practical judgment, operational readiness, and a clear understanding of how personal data risks arise in real business environments.

In response to these developments, Halim Hong & Quek, in collaboration with HELP University, is pleased to introduce the ๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ of the ๐——๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฎ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ข๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ (๐—˜๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€) ๐—–๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ.

Following the release of the new Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) Guidelines by the Department of Personal Data Protection, organisations are now expected to take a more structured and risk-based approach towards personal data processing.

But what exactly is a DPIA, when is it required, and how should organisations approach it in practice?

๐Ÿ“บ Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/uDimTpI-gWQ

In this episode of The Legal Insight Podcast, our Technology Practice Group Partners, Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi, join host Zach Shaw to unpack the practical implications of the new DPIA Guidelines and what organisations should be paying attention to moving forward.

๐Ÿ’ก As regulatory expectations continue to evolve, organisations will need to move beyond compliance on paper and focus on practical implementation, risk management and accountability in data governance.

As data protection compliance continues to evolve, organisations are increasingly expected to proactively identify and mitigate privacy risks in their operations, systems, and processes. A Data Protection Impact Assessment (โ€œDPIAโ€) is an essential tool to help organisations assess potential risks to personal data and demonstrate accountability in data governance practices.

Join our speakers, Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi, as they discuss the fundamentals of DPIAs, practical considerations in conducting assessments, and how organisations can effectively incorporate DPIAs into their internal compliance frameworks and business operations.

Bundling products or services can create efficiency and improve customer experience. But in certain situations, these arrangements may also raise competition law concerns.

In this edition, we look at when tying and bundling practices may become anti-competitive, particularly where market power limits customer choice or affects competitors in the market.

Building a strong brand takes more than simply using a name or logo. Without proper registration, businesses may face limitations when enforcing their rights or protecting long-term brand value.
