Listen "Data Breach Notifications in Malaysia: What Companies Must Know"
Episode Synopsis
In the final episode of The Malaysia PDPA Authority Series, we wrap up our exclusive discussion with Prof. Dr. Mohd Nazri bin Kama, former Personal Data Protection Commissioner of Malaysia.
This conversation goes straight to the heart of one of today’s biggest compliance challenges: data breach notifications. What really happens when a breach occurs? When do you have to notify the PDPC and affected individuals? And what are the risks if you don’t?
Here’s what you’ll take away:
• Why data breach incidents in Malaysia are rising sharply
• The exact situations where notification is legally required
• The consequences of failing to act, from fines to prison terms
• How the PDPC actually monitors breaches, including on the dark web
