Key Topics
Understanding SDAIA Enforcement: Trends, Expectations and Regulatory Priorities
As Saudi Arabia's data protection framework continues to mature, SDAIA is providing greater insight into how the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) is being interpreted and enforced. This session will examine emerging enforcement trends, recurring compliance issues and the key areas attracting regulatory attention. Speakers will discuss recent enforcement patterns and what they reveal about SDAIA's expectations of organisations handling personal data in the Kingdom.
PDPL Enforcement Risk: Common Violations, Penalties and Regulatory Consequences
Recent enforcement activity offers valuable lessons for organisations seeking to reduce regulatory risk. This discussion will explore the most common PDPL violations, the types of penalties and corrective measures imposed by SDAIA, and the practical implications of non-compliance. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of enforcement exposure and the regulatory consequences that can arise from inadequate data protection controls.
Building a Defensible Compliance Programme: Practical Steps for PDPL Readiness
Beyond understanding enforcement outcomes, organisations must be prepared to demonstrate accountability and effective data governance. This session will focus on practical actions data controllers and processors can take to strengthen compliance, including governance frameworks, consent management, data subject rights, security measures and third-party oversight. The panel will also outline key steps for assessing compliance gaps, documenting accountability and preparing for potential SDAIA inquiries or enforcement reviews.
