We enable organizations to manage, classify, and protect data responsibly to ensure regulatory compliance and maintain stakeholder trust.
Why It Matters
Data is now one of the most valuable and regulated organizational assets. In Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) enforces the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), supported by complementary frameworks from the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) and the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA). Together, they define the controls required to protect data confidentiality, integrity, and lawful use in line with global standards such as the EU GDPR. Nozom helps organizations design and implement privacy frameworks that align with PDPL and integrate NCA and SAMA security practices. This structured approach ensures that data is managed securely and transparently.How We Build Data Privacy & Protection
