A grace period is going to be offered to small businesses trying to meet the minimum security requirements of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), which is scheduled to be fully enforced starting in June, according to the Personal Data Protection Committee.
"The PDPA will come into force on June 1, but some sectors will receive a grace period to comply with the law to minimise the impact on their operations," said Thienchai Na Nakorn, chairman of the committee, which held its first meeting on Feb 10.
