Singapore's PDPA, automated. All 9 Data Protection Obligations, PDPC breach-notification runbook, DPO contact publishing and SOC 2 evidence reuse. Starting at $4,995. SGD invoicing available.
PDPA covers every organisation in Singapore. Here is how we take the busywork out.
Traditional vendors: 3+ months with a law firm
LowerPlane: 30 days with an advisor
Your dedicated advisor runs you through all 9 Data Protection Obligations, builds the DSAR workflow, and gets your DPO contact published in weeks.
Traditional vendors: SGD 20,000+ with consultants
LowerPlane: From $4,995 (SGD invoicing available)
Flat annual price. No per-DSAR fees. SGD invoicing available so you avoid annual FX swings on a USD-only contract.
Traditional vendors: Rebuild evidence per regime
LowerPlane: 70% of SOC 2 covers PDPA
If you already run SOC 2 for US buyers, LowerPlane auto-tags Trust Services Criteria evidence against PDPA Protection Obligation. One upload covers both.
Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act binds every organisation collecting, using or disclosing personal data of individuals in Singapore. No size threshold. Extraterritorial — foreign SaaS vendors handling Singapore residents' data are covered.
Compliance is organised around 9 Data Protection Obligations plus a mandatory DPO appointment. The PDPC can impose financial penalties up to S$1 million or 10% of annual Singapore turnover (whichever is higher) for serious contraventions.

Teams running SOC 2 and PDPA on the same evidence set.
We ran SOC 2 and PDPA together. LowerPlane auto-tagged 70% of our SOC 2 evidence against the PDPA Protection Obligation — one upload, two regimes covered.
Being able to invoice in SGD saved us the FX hassle of a USD-only subscription. And the Singapore-timezone advisor meant weekly reviews landed at a reasonable hour.
Our enterprise security questionnaires started asking about PDPA Transfer Limitation. LowerPlane's cross-border transfer register had the answer ready.
