FCM Singapore Achieves Certification Under the Updated Data Protection Trustmark
Trust starts with how we protect data.
FCM Singapore has achieved certification under the updated SS 714:2025 Data Protection Trustmark (DPTM). The DPTM is given to businesses whose data protection processes demonstrate compliance with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
We are proud to be among the first in our industry to achieve certification under the new standard. The updated standard sets clearer requirements in areas such as third-party management and overseas transfers, and certification is delivered through certification bodies appointed by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).
As part of the assessment, FCM Singapore had to demonstrate sound and accountable data protection practices. This included written documentation on policies and processes that are implemented and practised on the ground, based on a set of robust and comprehensive criteria such as having a trained Data Protection Officer to handle stakeholders' personal data, the disclosure of data with consent obtained and purpose made known, appropriate measures for protection, retention and disposal of data, and more.
Our customers entrust us with traveller and business data every day. Protecting it is not simply about compliance. It must be embedded in how we operate and how we build technology.
Data protection is not a one-time exercise. It is part of how we design our technology, operate our platforms and make decisions. The DPTM gives our customers an independent assessment of our practices, backed by annual surveillance audits.
