In a significant move to strengthen its commitment to data privacy compliance, the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) Office of Legal Affairs – University Data Privacy Office (OLA-UDPO) held a comprehensive capacity building session titled “Institutionalization of Data Bach Management: Training, Workshop and Development for Data Privacy Compliant Officers” last April 16-17, 2024. The event brought together Data Privacy Compliant Officers from various departments across campuses.
Underpinning the event was USeP’s unwavering dedication to adhere to the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) and its continuous efforts to ensure the ethical handling in operationalizing its Data Privacy Manual. For the past years, USeP has diligently implemented its Data Privacy Manual. It likewise conducted Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to identify and address risks associated with data handling. The workshop aimed to further this commitment by empowering stakeholders with updated knowledge and strategies for mitigating potential threats and vulnerabilities.
The two-day session focused on enhancing participants’ understanding of data privacy laws and regulations and encouraged active participation in developing a robust data breach management system. Through collaborative efforts across all levels of the institution, USeP aims to establish a culture of data privacy consciousness and improve decision-making processes related to information handling. With this initiative, USeP continues to uphold its reputation as a trusted educational institution committed to ethical behavior and responsible institutional practices, fostering positive relationships with stakeholders and the public alike.
