Despite the high level of awareness, only 5% of respondents said they’ve already implemented actions to meet all or most of the PDPA requirements. Just over a half of companies (51%) said they have begun the implementation process and 34% said they have started planning implementation but don’t have a compliance strategy in place yet.
