Two countries, two laws, one efficient approach

The United Arab Emirates Personal Data Protection Law (UAE PDPL) and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Personal Data Protection Law (KSA PDPL) share many similarities, despite being separate laws. Both laws aim to safeguard the privacy of individuals residing in either country by regulating the collection, processing, and storage of personal data. What is more,  both UAE PDPL and KSA PDPL are built on similar core principles like transparency, accountability and data subject rights. These principles outline how organizations should handle personal data and the rights individuals have regarding their data.

Strong Compliance Program is a Silver Bullet

Our strategy for developing a Compliance Program is reliable and straightforward, ensuring easy and painless compliance.
Here is the sneak peek of stages to be implemented:

  • Appoint a Compliance Officer. Allow us to be responsible for overseeing PDPL compliance within your organization 

  • Gap Analysis and Risk Assessment. We will need this to identify discrepancies between your current practices and PDPL requirements and to evaluate potential threats and vulnerabilities associated with your data processing activities and prioritize areas for improvement 

  • Data Inventory. We will create a comprehensive inventory of all personal data collected, processed, and stored by your organization across all departments, systems, and locations 

  • Data Mapping. Mapping the data flow through your organization, identifying the sources, purposes, legal basis (consent, legitimate interest, etc.), retention periods, and recipients of personal data 

  • Policies, Procedures and Security Measures. We will handle the development of comprehensive Policies and Procedures covering various aspects of data protection and guide you on the implementation of proper security measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction

  • Training Programs. We will conduct comprehensive training programs for your employees on PDPL requirements, data security best practices, and data subject rights procedures  

  • Data Governance and Monitoring. Appoint us your Data Protection Officer (DPO) and we will monitor your compliance program keeping it up-to-date. Also, we will act as the point of contact for data subjects and the relevant authorities regarding data protection matters
