Personal Data Protection Law Compliance

Data protection compliance that actually operates, not just a folder of policies

  • Law No. 27/2022
  • ISO 27701
  • Data Mapping
  • DPO Advisory

Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law demands evidence that processing is lawful, fair, and accountable. We translate those legal obligations into technical controls and the daily working procedures of your team.

What you receive

  • Data flow map and records of processing activities
  • Gap assessment against the Personal Data Protection Law
  • Internal and external privacy policies
  • Data subject request and breach handling procedures
  • DPO framework and hands-on establishment support
Context & Urgency

Why this matters now

Law No. 27 of 2022 turned personal data into a legal obligation rather than a technical concern. The two-year transition period since its enactment has now closed.

  • The duty binds controllers and processors alike

    Whoever determines the purpose of processing and whoever processes on another organisation's behalf both carry obligations, including through the agreement that binds them.

  • Breaches must be notified within 3x24 hours

    Written notification to data subjects and the relevant authority within three days of discovery — a deadline that is impossible to meet without a procedure prepared in advance.

  • Administrative fines are calculated from revenue

    Alongside warnings and suspension of processing, the law provides for administrative fines of up to 2% of annual revenue or receipts on the relevant violation variable.

Signs your organisation needs this

  • There is no documented map of personal data flows
  • Consent is a checkbox with no demonstrable record behind it
  • No procedure exists for handling data subject requests
  • Processing vendors are not bound by a processing agreement

Any one of these is reason enough to start the conversation early.
