Description

This course uses artificial intelligence and includes promotional content.
Understanding privacy laws is no longer just the responsibility of legal or compliance teams.
In most organisations, data protection risks are created through everyday business decisions
• A team launches a new system
• A manager approves a new vendor
• Data is transferred outside Saudi Arabia
• Customer data is reused for a new purpose
Individually, these decisions may seem routine.
Together, they determine whether an organisation handles personal data responsibly or creates regulatory risk.
Saudi Arabia's Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) sets clear

Requirements

for how personal data must be collected, used, shared, and protected.
These

Requirements

apply to operational decisions made across the business, not just within legal or compliance teams.
This course is designed for managers and decision-makers who need to understand how PDPL applies in practice and how to make decisions that are compliant and defensible.
Rather than focusing on legal theory, the course takes a practical, scenario-based approach.
You will learn how PDPL applies to real business situations, including
• Approving vendors and managing third-party risk
• Launching systems that collect or analyse personal data
• Responding to data subject rights requests
• Managing personal data breaches and notification obligations
• Transferring personal data outside Saudi Arabia
• Applying data retention and destruction rules
• Assessing privacy risks in new technologies, automation, and AI
The course also explains the governance framework around PDPL, including accountability, regulatory oversight, and the role of management in ensuring compliance.
By the end of this course, you will be able to make informed, risk-aware decisions about how personal data is handled.
This will help reduce regulatory exposure, strengthen internal processes, and support responsible business operations.
This course is part of a broader PDPL learning series and is designed to move beyond awareness toward practical, decision-level data protection in Saudi Arabia.
Organisations that need support translating these principles into real-world implementation, including governance, policies, DPIAs, vendor risk, and enterprise training, often work with Kazient Privacy Experts for tailored advisory and support.

Managers and team leaders responsible for approving projects or tools that involve personal data.
Business decision-makers involved in operations, HR, product development, or customer data handling.
Compliance, legal, or risk professionals supporting PDPL implementation.
Professionals working in organizations operating in Saudi Arabia or handling Saudi residents' data.
