Vendor Risk Assessment

You alone complying with the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) isn’t enough. Every vendor, supplier, or partner that handles personal data can introduce new vulnerabilities, making a thorough vendor risk assessment essential.

 

Without a clear understanding of where these third-party risks lie, maintaining compliance and safeguarding your reputation becomes much harder.

 

Hala Privacy’s Vendor Risk Assessment service directly addresses these challenges, safeguarding both your data and business reputation. Additionally, it ensures your operations remain compliant and resilient in the face of potential risks.

Key PDPL Compliance Questions

By thoroughly evaluating third-party data handling, you take a proactive stance, preventing gaps that could otherwise compromise both compliance and customer trust.

Do we have a clear view of which vendors handle personal data and under what conditions?
Can we confirm that our vendors meet Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) standards for both organizational and technical measures?
Are there processes to spot vulnerabilities in our vendors’ operations before they become compliance issues?
Do our vendor contracts contain the right protections, responsibilities, and safeguards to ensure accountability?
How do we keep track of ongoing vendor compliance as relationships evolve or regulations change?

Our Vendor Risk Assessment Approach

Initial Vendor Review

We begin by mapping out which third parties process personal data on your behalf, clarifying each vendor’s scope, role, and data access.

01
PDPL Compliance Check

We assess vendors against Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) requirements, ensuring they have adequate technical and organizational controls to align with your privacy framework.

02
Risk Prioritization & Mitigation

Using our findings, we pinpoint the most pressing risks and help implement measures to address them, whether tightening controls or updating contracts.

03
Contract Refinement (DPAs)

We draft and refine Data Processing Agreements (DPAs), outlining obligations, responsibilities, and remedies, so you can respond effectively if issues arise.

04
Continuous Monitoring

As regulations evolve or your vendor relationships shift, we assist in regular reviews and updates, ensuring ongoing resilience and trust in third-party engagements.
