In today's digital era, data privacy is a crucial issue for both individuals and organizations. The Saudi National Data Management Office (NDMO), in partnership with the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), has introduced stringent Data Governance and Personal Data Protection Standards. These regulations mandate all organizations operating across various industries in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia comply by September 2024.

Failure to comply with these regulations can result in hefty financial fines reaching SAR 3 million or higher in some cases, reputational damage, legal consequences, and loss of trust among customers and partners.

To ensure compliance with these new regulations, organizations are encouraged to implement processes aligned with the 15 domains outlined by the NDMO for Data Governance and Personal Data Protection Standards. Leveraging technology as an enabler, organizations can implement robust data privacy measures and effectively meet these requirements.
