Certified for Trust: AvePoint Singapore Earns IMDA’s DPTM Accreditation

In the early days of SaaS adoption across APAC, speed-to-market and rapid growth often took precedence over robust security and privacy practices. But times have changed. With evolving regulations, rising customer expectations, and the accelerating adoption of AI, organisations can no longer afford to treat data protection as a reactive measure or a simple compliance checkbox.

Today, security, privacy, and governance are foundational expectations for enterprises embracing cloud and AI technologies. Against this backdrop, AvePoint Singapore’s achievement of the Data Protection Trustmark (DPTM) certification from the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) serves as a powerful affirmation of our long-standing commitment to data protection, trust, and responsible innovation.

What is DPTM and Why Does It Matter?

DTPM is a certification administered by Singapore’s IMDA that recognises organisations with robust data protection practices. Here’s why it matters:

• Provides a nationally-recognised standard. DPTM is aligned with Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and international benchmarks, giving assurance that certified organisations meet stringent requirements.
• Signals trust and accountability. It demonstrates that an organisation has implemented clear policies and processes to safeguard personal data, building confidence among customers, partners, and regulators.
• Supports business competitiveness. In a market where trust is a differentiator, DPTM helps organisations stand out by showing commitment to responsible data handling.
• Facilitates cross-border collaboration. Certification provides assurance to global partners that data protection standards are upheld, enabling smoother international business relationships.
• Safeguards organisations against regulatory changes. With evolving privacy laws and AI governance frameworks, DPTM positions organisations to adapt quickly and maintain compliance.
