The National Privacy Commission said it has conducted compliance check on-site visits to the head offices of telecommunication companies to ensure that they are implementing “appropriate” security measures to protect the personal data of Filipinos registering their SIM cards.
“Telcos must take their responsibility of protecting the privacy rights of their subscribers seriously by ensuring that personal data related to SIM registration are properly collected and stored, access to the data is restricted by role-based access controls, and data servers are protected by encryption and layers of firewall,”
“With the leadership of our Privacy Commissioner, the NPC’s Compliance and Monitoring Division shall continue to conduct various mechanisms that would ensure telcos’ compliance with the DPA,” Milanes added. The NPC chief noted that, in general, Smart, Globe and Dito have demonstrated capabilities in protecting the personal data of their clients.
