Are You Dual-Compliant? Navigating the Dual Data Laws of KSA & Egypt

The Formiti Deep Dive: Your Weekly Global Data & Compliance ... by Robert Healey

Episode notes

The era of "one-size-fits-all" data compliance in the Middle East is over. Many organizations operating in key markets like Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Egypt are falling into a critical compliance gap by focusing only on the national data laws (KSA PDPL, Egypt DPL) and ignoring stricter, sector-specific regulations.

In this essential episode, your hosts Annie Garcia and Rob Healey introduce the concept of Dual-Compliance. We break down exactly why financial institutions, healthcare providers, and tech firms must answer to two masters—the national Data Protection Authority and powerful sectoral regulators like SAMA and the CBE. Ignoring these layers can lead to severe penalties and operational disruption.
