Frequently Asked Questions

The PDPL is Saudi Arabia’s first comprehensive data protection framework, enforced since September 14, 2023, with full compliance required by September 14, 2024 . It governs all entities—local or foreign—that process personal data of Saudi residents. Key obligations include obtaining explicit consent, preserving data accuracy, enforcing localization, and conducting breach notifications and Data Protection Impact Assessments.

Data sovereignty under PDPL requires that personal data be stored and processed within Saudi borders, unless explicit consent is obtained for transfer and compliant safeguards are in place. The aim is to enhance national security, ensure regulatory oversight, and align with Vision 2030’s data governance goals. Non‑compliance could result in fines up to $1.3 million and reputational loss.

Saudi Arabia is among the most targeted countries in the MENA region, experiencing a 35% increase in cyber‑attacks in 2023 alone—primarily phishing and ransomware. Notably, 70% of businesses reported at least one cyber‑attack in the past year, with financial and energy sectors most affected. Implementing real‑time monitoring and proactive threat detection is critical.

Organizations must align with multiple regulatory frameworks:

  • NCA’s Essential Cyber Security Controls (ECC) and Cloud Security Controls (CCC) covering encryption, access management, and real-time monitoring.
  • PDPL mandates on data localization, data subject rights, breach notifications, and consent mechanisms.
  • Supplementary standards like SAMA (financial institutions) and CMA (capital markets), plus international frameworks like ISO 27001.
