What it requires

What PIPA actually requires.

These are the obligations a regulated entity owes — the things an assessor or supervisor will ask about.

01

Consent for collection and cross-border transfer.

02

Notification of breaches within 72 hours.

03

Pseudonymisation and de-identification rules.

How Safeguard maps to it
