Data Privacy & Compliance Risk: Navigating Regulation in the Digital Era
Overview:
In today’s data-driven world, organizations must balance innovation and efficiency with increasingly strict data protection laws and evolving expectations around personal privacy. From local regulations like the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and UAE’s Federal Data Law to global frameworks like GDPR, compliance has become a strategic necessity — not just a legal obligation.
This conference addresses the rising importance of data governance, cross-border data transfers, privacy-by-design frameworks, and incident response readiness. Through expert insights and case studies, participants will explore how to identify and mitigate data-related risks while building trust with customers, regulators, and partners.
Special focus will be given to compliance roadmaps for the GCC region, with practical guidance for businesses, government agencies, and third-party service providers operating in complex regulatory environments.
