Services/DPDP & PDPL Consulting

Navigate the data protection regulations that govern your business today.

India's DPDP Act and Saudi Arabia's PDPL are now in force. Organisations operating across both markets face concurrent obligations - we help you understand exactly what applies to you and build the compliance programme to meet it.

Regulatory Overview

Two frameworks. One compliance programme.

Organisations with operations or customers in both India and Saudi Arabia often need to comply with both regulations concurrently. The frameworks share principles but differ in specifics.

Our Approach

From obligation mapping to operational compliance

01

Applicability Assessment

Establish which regulations apply to your organisation, your customers, and your data flows - many businesses are subject to both DPDP and PDPL simultaneously.

02

Data Mapping

Identify and document what personal data you collect, where it is stored, how it flows across systems and third parties, and where it crosses jurisdictions.

03

Gap Analysis

Measure current practices against the specific requirements of each applicable regulation. Produce a prioritised gap register with a realistic remediation timeline.

04

Implementation

Build the policies, procedures, consent frameworks, and technical controls needed to close identified gaps. We work with your legal, engineering, and operations teams.

If you process personal data of Indian or Saudi residents, these obligations apply to you - regardless of where you are headquartered.
