Get GDPR compliance consulting services from Visible Stars and expand your business into EU and EEA regions securely, with a comprehensive GDPR compliance assessment built around subject rights assurance.
Securing every individual's data from cyber threats has now become paramount in the ever-evolving digital landscape, including for businesses based in Saudi Arabia that operate internationally.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the world's strongest data protection rule, that prioritizes the data privacy of individuals from the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) regions. It helps businesses across the world, including organizations based in Saudi Arabia that handle personal data of individuals from the EU/EEA, ensure that data is kept secure and safe from breaches.
It came into effect on May 25, 2018, replacing the EU data protection directive of 1995, which prevailed in the same region.
GDPR compliance is not only a legal requirement for organizations within its scope, but also a cornerstone of ethical business practices. Aligning with GDPR compliance helps guide Saudi Arabia-based businesses expanding into or working with EU markets through the complexities of data protection, at ease.
Answering the need to be GDPR-compliant can be done in various verticals. Primarily purposed to secure individual data by collecting responsibly and keeping them safely, it also conveys the need and commitment from the organization's standpoint of view.
From a legal viewpoint, lack of compliance would result in a hefty fine of 20 million euros or 4% of annual business turnover, whichever is the highest, for organizations within GDPR's scope. For Saudi Arabia-based businesses expanding globally or serving EU customers, GDPR compliance goes beyond avoiding penalties toward protecting the privacy and rights of individuals and enhancing the reputation and trust of your customers.
Often, it might get harder for you to understand and follow the compliance and regulatory landscape, including the GDPR ones. However, the legal mandates and severe penalties for non-compliance enhance the need to adhere to the GDPR standards.
The expert team at Visible Stars guides you throughout the compliance journey to ensure security coverage from existing and upcoming threats alike. We never serve a one-size-fits-all solution, but a tailored approach that suits perfectly the unique needs of your business, aligning with your existing practices.
Being an organization that is GDPR compliant reflects that you uphold the data subject’s (users’) rights to their personal data. Also, it helps to be accountable and transparent when it comes to processing personal data and thereby preventing data abuse. It gives a greater competitive advantage when it comes to the global marketplace too.
Our team walks beside your key stakeholders toward understanding the process of data collection, storage, and processing. We assess the security posture to identify the vulnerabilities, even from the root level.
A comprehensive and insightful vulnerability report is curated to help you understand where to improve and fix towards securing the application.
Our team works with your team in cross-collaboration toward implementing the required changes. This involves providing training to the employees, updating privacy policies, and improving security measures.
Consistent assessment is the key to security. Our team helps you monitor proactively for new vulnerabilities and to remain compliant with the GDPR regulations.
GDPR is European Union law, so it does not apply to Saudi Arabia by default. However, it can apply to a Saudi Arabia-based business if that business offers goods or services to individuals in the EU/EEA, or monitors the behavior of individuals located there — for example, an e-commerce site, SaaS platform, or financial service with EU customers.
We help Saudi Arabia-based and regionally active businesses determine whether GDPR applies to them, and if so, what it takes to become and stay compliant.
GDPR requirements are broadly divided into two categories: organizational controls and technical controls.
Organizational controls cover how you document your legal basis for processing personal data, manage data subject rights requests, maintain records of processing activity, and, where required, appoint a Data Protection Officer.
Technical controls cover the safeguards used to protect personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss, including access control, encryption, and breach detection.
GDPR expects organizations to demonstrate accountability through regular audits and, where appropriate, alignment with recognized standards such as ISO/IEC 27001.

Being GDPR compliant primarily helps you protect the personal data of individuals in the EU/EEA that your business interacts with, avoid the severe financial penalties associated with non-compliance, maintain business trust and reputation, and stay aligned with international data protection standards.
Also, being in compliance with the regulation provides a competitive advantage when working with EU partners and customers, and reduces the risk of costly data breaches.
Where GDPR applies to your business, failure to comply can result in fines of up to 20 million euros or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher.
Being secure from the ever-evolving threat landscape by being compliant with GDPR helps to boost the reputation and credibility of the organization with EU partners and customers.
GDPR compliance helps to define better operational procedures for more efficient and effective handling of personal data across the organization.
The most common issues and challenges faced while working toward GDPR compliance
Is GDPR a Saudi Arabian law? No. GDPR is European Union law. It can still apply to a Saudi Arabia-based business that offers goods or services to, or monitors, individuals in the EU/EEA.
How do I know if GDPR applies to my business? We start every engagement with an assessment of your data flows and customer base to determine whether and how GDPR applies before recommending any compliance work.
Can this be combined with your DPO service? Yes. Where GDPR requires a Data Protection Officer, our DPO as a Service can fulfil that role on an ongoing basis.
