Personal Data Protection (PDPL)

Know your personal data, and prove you protect it.

PDPL compliance programs: data mapping, records of processing, data-subject rights and breach response.

Typical duration
6–8 weeks
Deliverables
5

The Personal Data Protection Law and its implementing regulations, overseen by SDAIA, apply to any organization that processes personal data in the Kingdom. Compliance depends on knowing what personal data you hold, why, where it goes and who can access it.

We map your personal data and processing activities, establish the lawful basis for each, and put in place the notices, records, rights-handling and breach-notification procedures the law requires — integrated with your existing security controls rather than bolted on beside them.

Why it matters

A clear inventory of personal data and where it flows
A lawful basis documented for each processing activity
Procedures for data-subject requests
Breach notification ready within the required timeframe
Controls integrated with your security program

Does PDPL apply if our systems are hosted outside the Kingdom?
