PDPL Compliance in Saudi Arabia

Meet Saudi PDPL with practical controls, data mapping and evidence your customers and auditors can trust, sized for an SME.

Overview

What this service does for you

Saudi Arabia's PDPL sets clear expectations for how you collect, use and protect personal data. For SMEs, the challenge is meeting them practically, with data mapping, controls and evidence sized to your resources.

We make it manageable: map what data you hold, put the right controls and data loss prevention in place, and build the evidence trail customers and regulators expect.

Start point

Most engagements begin with a 2-week IT Health Check, a fast, practical baseline that shows exactly where to focus first.

Why it matters

The problem we solve

  • PDPL applies to how you handle personal data, non-compliance carries real risk.
  • Customers and partners increasingly require proof of data protection.
  • Personal data is often scattered across systems with no clear map.
  • Evidence and accountability, not just intentions, are what get assessed.
