AI TRUST & GOVERNANCE

You already owe the PDPL. Then AI arrived.

PDPLSFDASDAIANCA
EU AI ActGDPR

AI is arriving faster than the proof that it can be trusted.

We examine the evidence behind the AI you use or build, and give your leadership a clear position it can act on and show — in the Kingdom, and in Europe under the AI Act and the GDPR.

01

Can you show what personal data your systems touch, where it travels, and on what basis?

02

Do you know what your AI decides, and about whom?

03

If a regulator, a buyer or an investor asked you to prove either of those, could you?

Every organisation processing personal data in the Kingdom falls under the same law. See what the PDPL requires

HOW IT WORKS

Start from what you say you have. Then check the evidence.

01

Map

All your AI, including agents and AI inside tools you own.

02ON PAPER

Accountability

Owners, registers, contracts, risk files.

03

Personal data under the PDPL

Lawful basis, consent, requests from individuals, and where the data travels.

04

The model and its supplier

What it was trained on, on what right, and tested for what; what the supplier shows.

05IN PRACTICE

Control in daily use

Who supervises, with what authority; what an agent does alone.

06

Security and sector rules

Cloud, incidents, the rules of your sector.

153 checks, each with a written criterion for enough evidence.

Binding obligations and voluntary guidance are scored apart.

Each system is scored against the regimes it actually falls under. A good score on good practice never hides a gap in what the law requires. Every finding cites the text it rests on and the evidence behind it.

Binding obligations — Saudi regime shown

78 / 100

  • Lawful basis and data principles
  • Rights of individuals
  • Transfers outside the Kingdom
  • Records, data protection officer and impact assessments
  • Contracts with processors and subcontractors
  • Security and breach notification
  • Sector and hosting rules, where they apply

Voluntary guidance

Reported on its own. Never added to the score.

  • Fairness and bias measurement
  • Explainability
  • Robustness and drift monitoring
  • Human oversight
  • Transparency to users and for generated content
  • Agent permissions and traceability
  • AI risk management

Some of these points become binding depending on the system which is assessed (for example a high-risk system under the EU AI Act, or a medical device under SFDA rules in Saudi Arabia)

Illustrative, and not a client result. Both lists are extracts: they name the areas covered, not the full set of scored controls.
