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.

01
ACCOUNTABILITY
Clear privacy ownership
Clear DPO or privacy ownership, whether DPO Arabia provides the Named DPO or supports the organisation’s existing DPO or privacy owner.
02
OPERATIONS
Recurring work kept current
A working DPO Office that keeps records, assessments, rights, incidents, processors, transfers and actions moving.
03
ASSURANCE
Evidence-led oversight
Evidence, reporting and independent review so management can see what is working, what needs attention and what can be demonstrated.

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.

WEEKLY

Personal Data Protection advice

Advice, escalation and decision support for active PDPL matters.

MONTHLY

PDPL operations

Recurring workflows, registers, assessments and open actions kept current.

QUARTERLY

Governance reporting

Management visibility across activity, risk, decisions and priority actions.

ANNUAL

PDPL assurance review

Evidence-led review of the operating framework and readiness for the next cycle.

That operating rhythm is delivered through four connected service categories: Governance & Accountability, PDPL Operations, Third Parties, Contracts & Transfers, and Assurance & Evidence.

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.

CORE DPO OFFICE OPERATING MODELS

Choose how the DPO Office should fit around your organisation.

For ongoing PDPL operation, we can either hold the DPO role through Outsourced DPO or operate the recurring PDPL workload behind your existing DPO or privacy owner through Managed PDPL Compliance.

HOW WE OPERATE

Assess. Remediate. Operate. Prove.

We use a repeatable PDPL lifecycle to move personal data protection (privacy) from a one-time compliance project into an accountable operating function.

01

Assess

Map personal data processing, establish the compliance baseline, identify applicable obligations and test whether the required governance, controls and evidence already exist.

OUTPUT

Prioritised PDPL gap assessment

02

Remediate

Translate findings into practical remediation, assign ownership, establish the required policies, notices, assessments and controls, and govern actions through to closure.

OUTPUT

Owned remediation programme

03

Operate

Operate recurring privacy workflows across rights requests, DPIAs, legitimate interests, incidents, Processors, third parties, contracts, disclosures, transfers, retention and governance rather than treating compliance as an annual exercise.

OUTPUT

Working DPO Office

04

Prove

Keep registers, decisions, approvals, assessments, metrics and management reporting current so the organisation can demonstrate how personal data protection is governed and operated.

OUTPUT

SDAIA & regulatory audit readiness

INDUSTRY-LED PRIVACY

Shape the DPO Office around your operating environment.

We shape the DPO Office around how your organisation actually collects, uses, shares and transfers Personal Data, including the sector risks, regulatory interfaces and evidence expectations that affect the operating model.


The same PDPL obligation can look very different across sectors. We adjust the governance focus, operating cadence and evidence priorities to the data journeys and regulatory context of each environment.

INDUSTRY-LED PRIVACY

Financial Services

Investment, fintech, payments and insurance environments where customer onboarding, profiling, financial data and regulatory obligations intersect.

SENSITIVE PROCESSING

Healthcare

Healthcare providers, healthtech, life sciences and pharmaceutical operations handling sensitive health and patient information across care systems and specialist service providers.

Technology

SaaS, AI, cloud and digital platforms where product telemetry, international infrastructure and fast-changing processing require embedded governance.

Government entities, authorities and digital public services requiring accountable processing, structured governance and defensible evidence.

Developers, property and infrastructure organisations managing tenant, visitor, project, contractor and workforce data at scale.

WHAT WE HELP OPERATE

Connect PDPL policy, day-to-day operation and audit evidence.

We connect governance decisions, operational workflows and compliance evidence so the organisation can operate PDPL as one coherent control environment rather than a collection of disconnected documents.

GOVERNANCE & ACCOUNTABILITY

Turn privacy decisions into accountable action.

Named DPO advice, clear decision ownership, escalation routes, management reporting and recurring governance checkpoints keep accountability visible and active.

PDPL OPERATIONS

Make privacy workflows part of normal operations.

DSRs, DPIAs, LIAs, incidents, Processors, third parties, disclosures, transfers and retention are managed as repeatable workflows with defined ownership and follow-through.

ASSURANCE & EVIDENCE

Prove how PDPL compliance is being operated.

Registers, assessments, approvals, remediation status and supporting records are kept current so compliance can be demonstrated for SDAIA and regulatory audit readiness.

Current. Owned. Traceable.
