Payments would run through NAPAS 247, data would be handled under Decree 13/2023 and Personal Data Protection Law, and success would be measured on overall equipment effectiveness, scrap rate and order lead time.

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.

- 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 a custom CRM & HRMS 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.
