OUTSOURCED DPO & MANAGED KSA PDPL COMPLIANCE
Operate PDPL compliance with a specialist DPO Office behind you in Saudi Arabia.
DPO Arabia gives organisations a specialist DPO Office to operate Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) compliance, maintain evidence and stay ready for Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA) and regulatory audit.
MANAGED DPO OFFICE
Build the operating capability behind your PDPL obligations.
We give your organisation access to a specialist Personal Data Protection Office without requiring every privacy capability to be built internally. Whether we provide the Named DPO or operate behind your internal privacy owner, the wider office brings operational, legal, technical and assurance capability together.
We shape the engagement around where formal accountability should sit, then keep the recurring PDPL work current through the DPO Office.
A single DPO interface, supported by the operating capability needed to keep PDPL governance active.
Clear privacy ownership
Recurring work kept current
Evidence-led oversight
ONE OPERATING FUNCTION
Accountability, recurring privacy operations and evidence remain connected.
DPO OFFICE OPERATING CADENCE
Keep PDPL governance and operations moving on a continuous rhythm.
DPO Arabia provides outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) and managed Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) compliance services for organisations operating in Saudi Arabia. Our DPO Office combines legal, operational and technical privacy support to help organisations maintain ongoing PDPL compliance and evidence.
We run the DPO Office on a recurring rhythm so advice, operational work, governance reporting and assurance are handled at the right interval and remain connected to current evidence.
The cadence gives each activity a place in the operating cycle, while the service catalogue below shows the controls, records and workflows that sit behind that rhythm.

DPO Tip of the Day
Record the legal basis at the processing-activity level, not merely at the system level. One platform can support several activities with different purposes and bases.
WHEN ORGANISATIONS COME TO US
Bring us the PDPL problem that is becoming difficult to operate.
Organisations usually come to us when a specific privacy obligation, control or operating problem is becoming difficult to manage internally. The starting point may be a DPO appointment, regulatory review, cross-border transfer, growing Processor environment or a PDPL framework that is no longer being maintained consistently.
We use that starting point to determine whether you need a Named DPO, ongoing operational support, a current-state assessment or a structured readiness engagement.
Your situation
Where to start
We need to appoint a DPO
Outsourced DPO
SDAIA registration, appointment, conflict assessment and an operating structure around the named DPO.
We have PDPL documents, but no operating rhythm
Managed PDPL Compliance
Policies exist, but RoPA, DSRs, DPIAs, personal data breaches, Processors, third parties, transfers and evidence are not being maintained consistently.
SDAIA or another regulator may review us
SDAIA Audit Readiness
Governance records, decisions and evidence need to demonstrate that PDPL compliance is operating in practice.
Our Processors, service providers or systems involve processing outside Saudi Arabia
Cross-Border Transfer & Disclosure Compliance
Transfers, disclosures, TIA/TRA, SCCs and contractual safeguards need structured review.
We need to know where our PDPL framework stands
PDPL Compliance Assessment
Establish the current state, validate evidence, identify gaps and prioritise the actions that should happen next.
Our business is changing faster than our PDPL framework
Managed PDPL Compliance
New products, technologies, Processors, AI use cases or processing activities need recurring DPO Office involvement.

Shape the DPO Office around your operating environment.
