PDPL Compliance Services
Meet Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) requirements — implementing the data governance, technical controls, and consent frameworks needed to protect personal data and avoid regulatory penalties.
PDPL Compliance Methodology
Our four-phase PDPL approach covers everything from data discovery and gap analysis through to controls implementation and ongoing compliance monitoring.
Data Discovery & Mapping
Identify all personal data held by your organisation — where it is stored, how it flows across systems and third parties, and how it is currently protected.
What you receive: Data inventory, data flow diagram, processing activity register.
Gap Analysis
Assess current data protection practices against PDPL requirements — identifying gaps in consent management, retention periods, security controls, and data subject rights handling.
What you receive: PDPL gap report, risk prioritisation, remediation recommendations.
Policy & Controls Implementation
Design and implement PDPL-compliant policies, procedures, and technical controls — covering consent, breach notification, data subject rights, and cross-border data transfers.
What you receive: Privacy policies, data subject rights procedures, breach notification plan, implemented controls.
Audit & Ongoing Compliance
Assess adherence to PDPL requirements and establish ongoing compliance monitoring — including staff training, annual reviews, and regulatory update tracking.
What you receive: Compliance audit report, staff training materials, ongoing monitoring configuration.
