Trusted by MCSTs Across Singapore

We work closely with council members and leading Managing Agents, supporting daily PDPA-related

PDPA Compliance for MCSTs IsNot Straightforward

MCSTs operate in a unique environment where PDPA obligations intersect with B(SM)A requirements. Generic DPO advice often fails to address real-world situations faced by council members and Managing Agents.

Without the right guidance, well-intentioned decisions can quickly become compliance risks.

Common Operational Minefields:

Handling CCTV footage requests from residents

Managing disputes (e.g., water seepage, neighbour complaints)

Responding to Section 47 requests for information

Navigating smart surveillance devices (e.g., doorbells)

Dealing with authority requests (PDPC, SPF, ICA, MOM)
