Data Analytics: Digital solutions should come with one or more dashboards that provide an at-a-glance overview of charts/indicators with cross-filtering feature to help users analyse data and generate insights to make informed decisions.

Personal Data Protection: Digital solutions that collect, use, disclose, process or dispose personal data* should incorporate features that support the obligations under the Personal Data Protection Act (2020).

*Personal data refers to data about an individual who can be identified from that data, or from that data and other information to which the organisation has or is likely to have access.
