Helping Saudi Organizations Navigate the Personal Data Protection Law — Before the Regulator Does
The Regulatory Landscape Has Changed
Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) has been enforceable since September 2023. Every organization operating in the Kingdom that collects, stores, or processes personal data — regardless of size or sector — is subject to its requirements. Compliance is not optional, and regulators are actively enforcing.

How Telenoc Helps
01
PDPL Gap Assessment
A structured review of your current data environment against all PDPL obligations — data mapping, consent practices, retention policies, third-party processors, and incident response readiness. Delivered as an executive-ready risk report with prioritized remediation steps.
02
Data Mapping & ROPA
Identification of all personal data assets across your systems — HR, ERP, CRM, cloud, and on-premise. We build and maintain your Record of Processing Activities (ROPA), a mandatory document under PDPL Article 12.

Drafting of PDPL-compliant privacy notices, consent forms, and data subject rights procedures. Includes Arabic and English documentation suitable for customer-facing deployment.

05
Vendor & Third-Party Risk Management
Review and remediation of Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with all third-party vendors and cloud providers processing personal data on your behalf — including international transfer safeguards.
06
