Navigating Personal Data Protection Laws with Meiro: OJK Compliance for BFSI

At Meiro, data privacy is more than just a compliance checkbox—it’s woven into the fabric of everything we do. From global regulations like GDPR and HIPAA to regional standards such as OJK in Indonesia, our mission is to ensure our clients can meet data privacy obligations with confidence. For businesses operating in the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) sector, navigating OJK regulations is critical to maintaining trust and compliance, and Meiro is here to guide that journey.

What is OJK?

The Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan, or OJK) is an independent regulatory body overseeing Indonesia’s financial services sector. Established in 2011, OJK's role is to regulate, supervise, and protect consumers within the industry. OJK mandates strict standards for data management in financial services, ensuring that data protection, security, and localization are at the forefront of business operations. This includes a critical requirement for data to be stored within Indonesia’s borders, safeguarding the sovereignty of personal identifiable information (PII).

Why OJK Compliance Matters for BFSI in Indonesia?

OJK's regulations underscore the need for stringent data management standards within Indonesia's BFSI sector. By enforcing strong principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, these laws protect sensitive customer data. Additionally, the requirement for data localization ensures that all customer data remains within Indonesia, maintaining national control over PII. Compliance with OJK regulations is not only a legal obligation but also a key factor in retaining customer trust.

How Meiro Supports OJK Compliance

At Meiro, we’ve developed tools and processes that align with OJK regulations, providing BFSI businesses with peace of mind when handling sensitive data. Here’s how:

✅ Data Localization: Meiro ensures your data remains within Indonesia, meeting local data residency requirements. We support your compliance efforts by preventing any data transfer across borders, adhering to OJK's stringent guidelines for data storage.

✅ Data Confidentiality & Integrity: We prioritize securing sensitive customer information with advanced encryption protocols and strict access controls. Meiro enables you to limit PII access to authorized personnel, protecting data integrity and ensuring compliance with OJK’s confidentiality standards.

✅ Consent & Transparency Meiro makes it simple to manage customer consent, allowing you to track permissions and ensure compliance with OJK’s requirements. We automatically exclude users who have not provided explicit consent, ensuring all your marketing and CRM activities respect data privacy regulations.
