CORE® has strengthened its data privacy accountability through its Certificate and Seal of Registration from the National Privacy Commission (NPC). This recognition provides another point of assurance around the governance supporting its workforce operations in the Philippines.
As an EOR and workforce solutions provider, One CoreDev IT® enables global companies to employ Filipino professionals without having to establish a local entity solely to build a team. In an EOR arrangement, CORE® serves as the local legal employer and manages employment responsibilities such as onboarding, payroll, benefits, and HR administration on the client’s behalf.
These responsibilities involve handling personal information throughout the employment lifecycle, making data privacy an important part of how the service is delivered. The NPC registration adds greater visibility to the privacy standards and accountability surrounding these processes.
Strengthening Privacy Across CORE® Workforce Operations
The NPC Certificate and Seal of Registration confirm that CORE® has registered its Data Protection Officer (DPO) and applicable data processing systems with the Commission. This provides a visible point of regulatory accountability for an organization entrusted with personal information across workforce operations.
Alongside this registration, CORE® maintains privacy and security measures that support how personal information is accessed, handled, retained, and protected in day-to-day operations. These include:
- Controlled access based on authorized roles and operational requirements
- Responsible collection, use, storage, retention, and disposal of personal information
- Privacy and security safeguards appropriate to the information and processes involved
- Privacy and security awareness among employees handling personal information
- Procedures for escalating and responding to potential privacy or security incidents
- DPO oversight and defined accountability for privacy-related requirements
Together, these measures support the principles of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and applicable NPC guidance, embedding privacy considerations into how workforce information is accessed, managed, and protected across CORE® operations.
Data Privacy in Workforce Partnerships
For global companies building offshore teams or outsourcing workforce operations to the Philippines, data privacy extends beyond internal compliance. It also becomes part of third-party risk and due diligence when employee information and data-dependent processes are entrusted to an external workforce partner.
This consideration is becoming more relevant as businesses rely on external providers and technology. Verizon’s 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report found that breaches involving third parties increased by 60% from the previous year, reflecting the growing relevance of privacy and security in external partnerships.
Philippine data privacy regulation also sets expectations for how personal information is governed when processing is outsourced. Under the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Data Privacy Act, these arrangements are required to define areas such as:
- Nature, purpose, and duration of processing
- Responsibilities and instructions between the parties
- Confidentiality and requirements involving additional processors
- Compliance and audit provisions
These requirements are particularly relevant to workforce partnerships, where employee information may be processed continuously across different functions. For clients working with CORE®, they provide regulatory context for the privacy expectations surrounding services entrusted to an external workforce partner.
A Continuing Commitment to Data Privacy
Data privacy is ultimately sustained through consistency: clear standards, accountable practices, and integrity in how information and responsibilities are handled.
As business needs, technologies, and privacy requirements continue to change, One CoreDev IT® remains focused on maintaining the practices and oversight that support clients, employees, and responsible workforce delivery.
Put trust and integrity to work with CORE®.
