The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) has issued compliance certificates to 1,623 data processors and controllers since the registration started mid-July last year on the arrival of a new set of regulations in March.
The new number is a marginal rise from the last reported figure of 1,417 by the close of January this year, translating to 206 entities licensed in two months. ODPC had earlier reported the issuance of 332 certificates as of September 2 last year.
