Drata assists Middle East companies in continuously maintaining compliance, automating, and simplifying with regional information protection regulations across Saudi Arabia and the UAE. This decreases workload while fortifying trust and security.

Introduction

As digital transformation accelerates across the Middle East, companies in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) face increasing pressure to comply with evolving data protection regulations. Models like Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and the UAE’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) focus on stringent needs for security controls, privacy governance, and data management. Drata is a leading platform for continuous compliance automation. It is an emerging, powerful solution for companies wanting to organize compliance and decrease operational burdens.

Addressing Regional Regulatory Complexity

Saudi Arabia and the UAE each maintain unique localization needs, enforcement systems, and legal structures. Companies functioning across both markets sometimes struggle to demonstrate consistently, maintain documentation, and consolidate controls.

Drata eases this by offering a consolidated compliance ecosystem that aligns regional regulatory requirements with evidence collection and automated controls. By focusing on these workflows, companies decrease manual effort and enhance transparency. It includes key factors for preparing for audits or responding to regulatory inquiries.

Automating Core Compliance Processes

Drata’s automation engine incessantly monitors systems, detects control loopholes, and gathers evidence across internal processes, identity platforms, and cloud infrastructure. This automation decreases the requirement for big in-house compliance teams for Middle Eastern Companies. This also eliminates the risk of legacy documentation.

Features like integrated policy management, immediate risk scoring, and automated control mapping. This allows companies to maintain audit readiness throughout the year. This is specifically valuable in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. This is where regulators are raising scrutiny and anticipating quick compliance proof.
