Privacy Governance Framework Development

At ECOVIS AL SABTI, we recognize that organizations in Saudi Arabia face growing data management challenges, from fragmented information across systems to the increasing need for regulatory compliance and secure handling of sensitive data. To address these, we help businesses establish a robust Enterprise Data Strategy and Data Governance Framework that not only meets the requirements of the Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA) and the NDMO Standards but also aligns with global best practices.
Our approach prioritizes governance across the data lifecycle —from creation and usage, to storage, retention, and archival—so that your information assets are consistently reliable, compliant, and strategically valuable. We help optimize operations and create a culture of informed, data-driven decision-making by tailoring a comprehensive data governance framework to your organization’s specific objectives.
A strong governance program also enhances data protection and privacy by aligning with regulations such as Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), or other global privacy acts. This means that your organization not only complies with local and international data privacy laws but also builds trust by safeguarding personal data and other PII (Personally Identifiable Information).
Our Enterprise Data Governance and Strategy services include:

• Compliance & Maturity Assessment – Evaluate your current governance posture and benchmark it against NDMO requirements and international best practices.
• Data Management Strategy and Roadmap – Define a clear vision and phased plan for how data will be governed and leveraged across the enterprise.
• Data Management Plans, Policies, Standards, and Guidelines – Establish documentation and rules that guide consistent and compliant data practices.
• Data Governance Framework & Operating Model – Create structures, processes, and accountabilities that embed governance into daily operations.
• Data Governance Roles and Responsibilities – Clarify ownership and accountability across departments to ensure governance is applied effectively.
• Data Governance Training & Awareness – Build organizational capability through training programs that promote understanding and adoption of governance principles.
• Tool Implementation Advisory – Support the selection and deployment of governance technologies to streamline and automate governance activities.
• Data Risk Assessment – Identify, evaluate, and mitigate risks associated with poor data handling, ensuring governance safeguards organizational integrity.

With ECOVIS AL SABTI, your enterprise gains not only a governance framework but also a strategic partner who ensures that governance is practical and designed for measurable impact.
