Decree 13/2023 and Personal Data Protection Law: compliance checklist for legal & professional services software
Before launch in Vietnam, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under Decree 13/2023 and Personal Data Protection Law.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Vietnam customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Vietnam.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for legal & professional services software in Vietnam
For clients in Vietnam we usually host on Singapore, Mumbai or Sydney cloud regions. The choice balances latency for local users, Decree 13/2023 and Personal Data Protection Law requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
Localising legal & professional services software for Vietnam
