Simplifying Privacy with KSA PDPL Compliance with Ease
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL)
The KSA Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) is Saudi Arabia’s primary regulation for protecting personal data. KSA PDPL establishes guidelines for data collection, processing, and sharing while ensuring individuals’ rights to data privacy. Organizations must comply with strict requirements, including obtaining consent, safeguarding data, and reporting breaches.

Achieving Compliance Excellence
Achieving compliance is more than meeting standards – it’s about building trust and minimizing risks. Our solutions ensure seamless alignment with regulatory requirements
Understand KSA PDPL Requirements
Ensure your organization thoroughly understands the Saudi Arabia Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL). This involves gaining insight into data privacy principles, individual rights, and key responsibilities like securing consent, adhering to data processing restrictions, and meeting breach notification obligations.
Conduct Data Mapping and Inventory
Identify and document all personal data collected, processed, and stored by your organization. Map data flows to understand how information is shared internally and with third parties, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Establish a Legal Basis for Data Processing
Ensure that all data processing activities have a lawful basis under the PDPL, such as obtaining explicit consent, fulfilling contractual obligations, or complying with legal requirements.
Revise and Communicate Privacy Policies
Develop or update your privacy policies to align with PDPL requirements. Include clear information about data collection, usage, sharing, storage, and the rights of individuals. Make these policies easily accessible to individuals in a user-friendly format.
Implement Data Subject Rights Management
Develop processes to handle individual rights under PDPL, including the right to access, correct, or delete their personal data. Establish efficient systems to respond to such requests promptly and within the mandated timeframes.
Enhance Data Security
Controls
Strengthen technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. Implement encryption, access controls, regular security assessments, and monitoring systems to prevent unauthorized access, breaches, or misuse of data.
Prepare a Data Breach Response Plan
Create a comprehensive incident response plan to handle data breaches. Include steps for containment, investigation, and reporting incidents to the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) and affected individuals as required by PDPL.
Review Third-Party
Agreements
Audit contracts with third-party vendors and service providers to ensure they comply with PDPL requirements. Incorporate clauses that mandate secure handling and processing of personal data.
Monitor Cross-Border Data Transfers
Ensure compliance with PDPL restrictions on transferring personal data outside Saudi Arabia. Obtain necessary approvals and implement safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or data protection agreements.
Conduct Regular Compliance Audits
Schedule periodic internal and external audits to review compliance efforts. Use these audits to identify gaps, implement corrective actions, and continuously improve your compliance framework.
Document KSA PDPL Compliance Activities
Maintain detailed records of compliance activities, such as data mapping, policy updates, training sessions, and breach responses. This documentation serves as evidence of compliance and can be used during regulatory inspections.
