THE Bank of the Philippine Islands announced its Enterprise Information Security Officer and Data Protection Officer Jonathan John B. Paz was recognized as the Data Protection Officer of the Year by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) during the NPC’s “Privacy Awareness Week” (PAW) Awards held last May 25.
BPI said Paz was previously selected as one of the finalists for the award by NPC last April from dozens of nominations received by the governing body.
Paz credits the success of the lender in fulfilling the requirements of data privacy to the bank’s “ingrained sense of fiduciary duty to the banking public, in general, and our clients, in particular.”
