AesirX ComplianceOne

Traditional compliance tools mainly store documents, policies, or checklists. AesirX ComplianceOne (the first Vietnam data protection compliance platform) is designed as an operational system that manages workflows, approvals, risk assessments, and evidence generation in real time. Instead of collecting documentation after activities occur, compliance evidence is automatically created and linked to each action, such as consent records, approvals, and data governance decisions. Essentially, AesirX ComplianceOne is a PDPL compliance solution.

Yes. Vietnam’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and its implementing decree have extraterritorial scope, meaning they apply not only to Vietnamese organizations but also to foreign companies that process the personal data of Vietnamese citizens or residents, even if the processing occurs outside Vietnam.

In practice, this means the law can apply if a foreign company operates a website used in Vietnam, collects personal data from Vietnamese users, or processes their data through platforms, analytics tools, or cross-border services.

Vietnam’s privacy framework is defined by three key laws:

• Personal Data Protection Law 91/2025/QH15 (PDPL 2025)
  The core privacy law governing how organizations collect, process, and protect personal data, including requirements for consent, rights handling, and accountability.

• Decree 356/2025/ND-CP (implementing the PDPL)
  Provides detailed rules on how the PDPL must be applied in practice, including consent standards, data transfer conditions, and compliance documentation requirements.

• Law on Data 60/2024/QH15 (Data Law)
  Establishes broader rules for managing data assets in Vietnam, including classification, security, and oversight of data sharing and cross-border use.

Businesses must obtain clear user consent before tracking or collecting personal data. Website tools such as cookies, pixels, and analytics can only operate with explicit consent, and personal data must be controlled, documented, and protected, especially when shared with third parties or transferred across borders.

A true Vietnam privacy compliance platform should do more than store documents, it should actively manage your compliance operations end to end. This means automating consent collection and enforcement, structuring data subject rights workflows, documenting cross-border transfer approvals, and generating audit-ready evidence at every step.

Many businesses assume any data protection tool will meet Vietnam's requirements, but the PDPL and its implementing decree have specific expectations around consent standards, accountability records, and operational linkage between systems. 

A purpose-built privacy governance platform Vietnam businesses can rely on connects these requirements directly to your internal workflows, so compliance evidence is created in real time, not assembled retroactively when an audit or enforcement action arises.

For organizations operating in or targeting Vietnam, this operational readiness is the difference between demonstrating compliance and simply claiming it.

A Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) is a formal request from an individual exercising their rights under Vietnam's PDPL, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of their personal data. Managing these requests correctly is both a legal obligation and an operational challenge. Under the PDPL, organizations must:

• Acknowledge and verify the request: confirm the identity of the requestor and log the submission with a timestamp and reference record.
• Assess the request type: determine which right is being exercised (access, rectification, erasure, portability, objection, or withdrawal of consent) and if exemptions apply.
• Coordinate internally: locate the relevant personal data across systems, involve appropriate teams (IT, legal, operations), document each step of the review process.
• Respond within the required timeframe: Vietnam's framework sets expectations for timely responses. Failure to respond or unjustified delays can constitute a breach.
• Produce a structured response: deliver the outcome to the data subject with clear documentation, and retain a complete record of the request, assessment, and resolution for audit purposes.

Where DSAR volumes are high or data is distributed across multiple systems, manual processes create significant risk. A Vietnam privacy management software solution like AesirX ComplianceOne structures the entire DSAR lifecycle so nothing falls through the cracks
