Datasonic Group Berhad Annual Report 2021

2021 ANNUAL REPORT 49 Privacy and Security Datasonic is principally engaged in the provision of ICT system and solutions. These activities involve managing highly secure and sensitive customer data. Datasonic’s strict privacy and security measures are aligned with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010. The world experienced a broad spectrum of events that disrupted people’s lives; the pandemic caused economic turbulence and restricted social movements. While technology has raced to lead and respond to these times of change, data privacy practices are often left behind. Datasonic is governed by strict standard operating procedures to prevent privacy and data breaches. We also reviewed our risk assessment to ensure such identified risks are being mitigated or resolved with a proper solution. Accordingly, we strengthened our network access controls and patched vulnerabilities in our operating system. We ensure that we are constantly equipped with sufficient knowledge to protect our systems against any evolving threats. We are pleased to report that the latest ISO 9001:2015 QMS audit report showed that Datasonic had zero cases of non-compliance during the year. SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT COVID-19 has revealed some weaknesses yet opportunities for improvement in our current processes and procedures. It has forced us to adapt to a new normal and engage with others differently. It is very much apparent that a more coordinated and intersectional approach is vital to our business continuity. Throughout the challenges, the pandemic has also provided an opportunity for us to rethink our future; building one that is stronger, more resilient and sustainable. We are optimistic about the future as we foresee better and brighter prospects in the upcoming year. New business opportunities in public security, healthcare, e-commerce and national digitalisation are anticipated and in line with the national economic recovery phase. We are well-poised with our innovative systems and solutions to tap to the opportunities across the existing and new markets and industries that we serve. MOVING FORWARD Future focus Upskilling and reskilling present and future human capital to power expansion, growth and the sustainability of local and international businesses. Developing technical competitive advantage and excellent track record through technology.
