During the meeting, the WAH team expressed their interest in ensuring compliance with NPC regulations by registering their systems: Dashboard, Movement Activity Tracker Application + (MATA+), MisuWAH, and WAHtermelon. The CCS Team acknowledged the importance of this registration and assured the WAH team that a dedicated team had been formed to review, analyze, and assist them throughout the process.
The meeting also provided an opportunity to discuss future activities that could be included in the WAH-TSU CCS Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). These activities include network management for security, research collaboration, and analytics. Both parties recognized the potential benefits of such collaborations and agreed to further explore them in the future.
To facilitate the registration process, the CCS Team scheduled another meeting on June 19 to review the provided documents. This step aims to ensure that the documentation meets the requirements for a successful registration with the NPC.
The visit to the WAH Initiative was productive and demonstrated a strong commitment from both parties to achieving compliance with data privacy regulations. The CCS Team appreciated the opportunity to collaborate with WAH and expressed their dedication to providing the necessary support to promote the secure handling of personal information.
