Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) – Advisory, Assessment & Implementation

At Winford Systems, we help organizations across Saudi Arabia achieve and maintain compliance with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), enabling secure, lawful, and trusted handling of personal data in alignment with national privacy regulations.

The Saudi PDPL, issued by the Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA), establishes strict requirements for how organizations collect, process, store, transfer, and protect personal data of individuals within the Kingdom. Non-compliance can result in regulatory penalties, operational disruption, and reputational damage.

Our PDPL compliance services are designed to support organizations in meeting legal obligations while strengthening overall data governance, privacy, and information security practices.

What is KSA PDPL?

PDPL applies to:

  • Organizations established in Saudi Arabia

  • Organizations outside Saudi Arabia that process personal data of individuals in the Kingdom
