Managing Data Breaches and Third-Party Risks Under PDPL

Managing Data Breaches and Third-Party Risks Under PDPL

Data breaches and third-party risks are major concerns for businesses operating in compliance with the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) in Saudi Arabia. The PDPL sets clear guidelines on how businesses must respond to these challenges to minimize the impact and ensure compliance.

1. Managing Data Breaches Under the PDPL

In the event of a data breach, businesses are required by the PDPL to notify both the regulatory authority and the affected data subjects promptly. This includes informing them about the nature of the breach, the data involved, and the actions being taken. Inovasys helps businesses build a robust breach management protocol to ensure timely reporting and minimize potential damages.

2. Ensuring Third-Party Compliance

Under the PDPL, organizations must ensure that their third-party processors are also compliant with data protection standards. This means establishing clear agreements that outline each party’s responsibilities in safeguarding personal data. Inovasys provides assistance in drafting contracts and monitoring third-party compliance to protect your organization.

3. Conducting Regular Risk Assessments

Continuous risk assessments are necessary to identify potential vulnerabilities in your data handling practices. Inovasys supports businesses with regular data privacy audits and updates to their compliance protocols to mitigate risks related to third-party engagements and data breaches.

4. Implementing Data Security Measures

The PDPL requires businesses to implement effective data security measures to protect personal data. Inovasys offers cybersecurity solutions to safeguard your data from unauthorized access and ensure compliance with the PDPL’s security standards.
