With the launch of the Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) Forum’s certifications in June 2025, there is now a “global” system that aims to facilitate cross-border transfers of personal data, even if it is still early days for the new system. Building on the earlier APEC CBPR System, the Global CBPR System seeks to update the APEC framework and make it available globally.
In Singapore, assessment for the APEC CBPR is done together with the assessment for Singapore’s Data Protection Trust Mark (DPTM). However, the DPTM itself is undergoing changes with the launch of a new Singapore standard for the DPTM.
Join our David N. Alfred, who was involved in developing the new Singapore standard for the DPTM, as he discusses these developments and the potential impact and opportunities for companies to streamline their compliance efforts for data protection and cross-border data transfers.
