​Brunei Darussalam enacted its long-awaited Personal Data Protection Order (PDPO) 2025, also known as "An Order to govern the collection, use and disclosure of personal data by organisations and for matters connected therewith."

Following approval by His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan, the PDPO was officially established on January 8, 2025. The enactment of the PDPO  is a significant legal move to enhance personal data protection and control in Brunei’s private sector. Phased implementation of the PDPO gives organizations a year to achieve full compliance.

The PDPO empowers data subjects with the right to access and correct their personal data. Data subjects can withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data, as well as issue a private right of action. Noncompliance with the PDPO can lead to hefty penalties ranging from a penalty of 10% of an organization’s annual turnover in Brunei Darussalam and $1,000,000.


The Solution

Securiti enables organizations to comply with the PDPO through AI-driven PI data discovery, DSR automation, documented accountability, enhanced visibility into data processing activities, and AI-driven process automation.
