Malaysia tightens laws: Are you prepared?

Malaysia's digital landscape is changing radically. New laws require not only paperwork, but verifiable security.

Warning: Violations can result in massive fines and even prison sentences for those responsible.

  • Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA): Mandates strict data security measures and requires training for employees.
  • Other laws: Strict guidelines like company acts, financial acts or other sector specific rules.

Why traditional training and previous efforts often fail—and what makes TreeSolution different.

The problem in many organizations
The TreeSolution "Security Awareness" approach
  • Language barriers: Employees (e.g. in production) do not understand complex English/Malay IT language.
  • Understandable for everyone: Content is presented in a didactic way so that everyone can understand it – regardless of their role.
  • Compliance pressure: Training is only done to comply with the law. It is boring and ignored.
  • Genuine culture: We create real "security awareness". Employees develop a genuine understanding of risks.
  • Phishing victims: Despite certificates, employees fall for social engineering.
  • Behavioural change: Psychologically based methods drastically reduce the click rate for phishing.
