VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/Asia News Network): Recent regulations by the Lao government to ensure compliance in how enterprises use Information and Communications Technology (ICT) have raised the question of whether companies’ policies are in line with these new data and IT security standards.

Supported by the Department of Cyber Security under the Ministry of Technology and Communications, Singapore-based S.A. Investment Holdings (SA Solutions for Asia) and local partner Datacom Co, Ltd have teamed up to showcase how knowledge of privacy compliance and data protection implementation can, and should be, brought to Laos to aid in efforts in compliance as the nation embarks on its digitalisation plans.
