Featured Case Study

Data Privacy and VAPT Awareness Workshop for City of Davao Personnel

Three-day workshop for representatives from offices across the City Government of Davao on protecting personal and sensitive personal information, with a non-technical explanation of vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT). Participants mapped how their own offices collect personal and sensitive personal information, ran a risk assessment on that process, and worked out their response steps for a suspected breach or data exfiltration against ISO 27001, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, the Data Privacy Act (RA 10173) and the City's own Data Privacy Manual. They closed with a compliance mapping exercise and shared lessons learned from the simulated scenario.
