Solutions
The PDPA asks the same of everyone who processes personal data: assess the risk, justify the transfer, tell people what you do with their data, and be able to prove all three. How that work gets done — and who signs it — depends on who you are.
For Law Firms & Privacy Advisers
Praxis does not replace a junior associate. It gives the lawyers you already trust the structure a defensible matter needs: a firm → client → matter → assessment hierarchy with every query firm-scoped, evidence that is hashed the moment it is uploaded, an approval step that only a reviewer can complete, and an audit pack you can hand to the Commissioner or the client without a week of assembly. The same applies to the consultancies that deliver this work alongside firms.
Take the enterprise DPIA or the multi-jurisdiction transfer matter you would otherwise decline. Licensing follows active client matters, so the cost tracks the work you are actually delivering — never seats.
Draft → in review → approved → issued, with separation of duties built in: the associate who prepared the assessment cannot be the one who approves it. Issued reports are generated from a locked snapshot.
Matters, evidence and reports live inside per-client workspaces. Evidence uploads carry a SHA-256 hash and a disposal date that is surfaced, never auto-deleted — a chain of custody for every supporting document.
One self-contained document per client: the full transfer and assessment register, legal bases relied on, the evidence inventory and a verification of the audit chain. Produced on demand, not reconstructed from email.
Run client DPIAs on the official DEICA guideline with statutory screening, a 3×3 risk matrix and mitigation tracked to closure. Reuse verified evidence across a client's recurring processing activities.
Explore Praxis DPIA
Assess transfers against all eight s.129 conditions, with 129 destination jurisdictions pre-scored on a 21-provision Malaysian-floor matrix. “Explain why” on any finding, three-year validity tracking and clone-based revisions.
Explore Praxis Frontier
Grade a client's published notice against statutory text before you rewrite it. Every finding cites its provision and a verbatim quote — a fast, evidenced starting point for a notice-drafting engagement or a portfolio review.
Explore Praxis PrivacyThe objective is not to remove lawyers from the process. It is to let each lawyer carry more high-quality work, with the firm's accumulated regulatory knowledge — and its record — held by the firm rather than by one person.
For Enterprise DPOs & In-house Privacy Teams
Under the amended Act the DPO is a named, accountable person. Praxis gives that person one environment for every DPIA, transfer assessment and notice audit across the group: role-based access, single sign-on through your identity provider, enforced separation of duties, validity and reassessment clocks, and an append-only audit chain that can be independently verified.
Multi-tenant organisations with per-org roles; users can belong to and switch between entities. Coverage and status by business unit, in one view.
Owner, admin, DPO, contributor and viewer roles enforced per route; two-factor authentication; per-organisation SSO via OIDC (Azure AD / Entra, Google, Okta).
Automatic reassessment triggers on DPIAs and a three-year validity clock on every TIA, with clone-based revisions — the original record is never overwritten.
Hash-chained audit logs with a verification endpoint, hashed evidence and immutable issued snapshots — the process-integrity evidence an auditor or the Commissioner actually asks for.
One DPIA register across entities, with DPO approval, executive and appendix PDFs from locked versions, and a verifiable audit chain.
Explore Praxis DPIAThe group's shared HR platform, CRM or cloud vendor assessed once, properly — three-year validity, revisions when the vendor or the law changes.
Explore Praxis FrontierEvery entity and brand graded the same way; an illustrative exposure view that turns a list of gaps into a remediation order the board understands.
Explore Praxis PrivacyPraxis Breach — in development — adds a mobile-first s.12B wizard any employee can start on discovery: a live 72-hour countdown, significant-harm triage, a DPO review queue before anything is filed, and downstream 7-day and 30-day clocks. Described as direction, not availability.
For Clinics, E-commerce, Hotels & Short-term Rentals
A clinic keeps health records. An online store tracks browsing, holds payment details and ships customer data to overseas platforms. A hotel copies passports and profiles guests. A short-term rental operator collects IDs, runs CCTV and lives inside a foreign booking platform. Each of you is a data user under the PDPA, with a notice to publish, a breach clock to respect and — above certain thresholds — a DPIA to complete. Praxis lets you do that properly, in your own time, ending in a record rather than a template.
Health data is sensitive data — the lower 10,000-subject DPIA threshold applies, and your notice must say what happens to records, lab results and referrals.
Tracking, profiling, payment and financial data, and processors abroad — the categories a notice most often under-discloses, and the transfers that need an s.129 basis.
Passport and ID copies, guest histories and loyalty profiles, often in a property-management system hosted overseas. Retention and transfer disclosures matter here.
Guest IDs, CCTV, smart locks and a foreign platform in the middle. Small operation, surprisingly wide data footprint — and the same 72-hour breach clock as everyone else.
The free “Do I need a DPIA?” screening runs in your browser in a few minutes and gives you a determination record. Nothing is sent or stored.
Do I need a DPIA?Praxis Privacy grades your notice against the PDPA and gives you a Praxis Grade with the exact passages behind every finding.
