Privacy to HR
Practitioners

AKATI CITY, June
6, 2017—NPC
Deputy Privacy
Commissioner
Damian Mapa
met with HR
practitioners at
today’s “Data
Privacy Act: HR
Accountabilities
and Liabilities”
event organized by GlobalSign, Archive One, and
Utimaco, three of the most credible online security
providers in the country, to discuss the Data Privacy
Act and how data privacy should be enforced in
every office in the country.
Damian Mapa discussed the importance of
privacy and a company’s ability to uphold it. “In
today’s data-driven economy, privacy has become
the proxy for trust: if you allow my privacy to be
breached, you lose my trust, and if you lose my
trust, you lose my business,” Mapa stressed in his
speech. He explained the structure of RA 10173
that highlights the rights of everyone as data sub-
jects, namely the right to be informed, the right to
object, and the right to block or remove, among
others. The NPC Deputy Commissioner also stated
the responsibilities of every company in enforcing
data privacy that includes upholding privacy rights, appointing privacy
data officers, and setting up a data protection framework and breach
reporting procedures.
GlobalSign, Archive One, and Utimaco joined forces to organize this
event in an effort to help HR practitioners comply with the Data Privacy
Act, improve their daily operations, and secure company data. The three
security providers presented HR innovations that includes document
signing certificates, hardware security modules, and document management
software to the event attendees.
