Saudi Arabia's Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) applies to every organisation that processes personal data and every employee plays a role in getting it right. Data incidents rarely happen because of system failures. They happen because staff are unclear on what the law requires and how it applies to their day-to-day work.
This course is designed for organisations that need their entire workforce (across HR, operations, customer service, finance, and administration) to understand PDPL and apply it confidently in their roles. No legal jargon. No technical complexity.
What Employees Will Learn
By the end of this course, staff will be able to:

Apply key PDPL principles including lawful use, data minimisation, and accuracy
Identify common mistakes that lead to data incidents
Recognise, report, and escalate privacy incidents appropriately
Follow secure habits when storing, sharing, and accessing data
Course Structure
9 short modules and 21 focused videos covering PDPL fundamentals and real workplace scenarios. Each module includes a knowledge check quiz to reinforce learning and support completion records.
Total duration: approximately 60–90 minutes (structured for organisation-wide rollout).
Who This Course Is For
Suitable for employees at any level who handle personal data as part of their role. Particularly relevant for HR, compliance, operations, customer service, and administrative teams delivering structured PDPL awareness across their organisation. No prior legal or technical knowledge required.
Corporate & Enterprise Training
This course covers foundational PDPL awareness for employees. Organisations requiring more advanced support — including PDPL implementation, policy development, data mapping, DPIAs, or DPO services — can explore tailored corporate training options through Kazient Privacy Experts.
Part of a Structured PDPL Learning Series
This course is the first in a structured PDPL learning series, designed to move organisations from broad awareness to embedded, role-specific data protection:
Course 1 — Foundational PDPL awareness for all staff
Course 2 — Decision-level data protection for managers and leaders
Course 3 — Function-specific application across specialised teams
Organisations that need to translate these principles into a complete data protection programme — including governance frameworks, policies, RoPA, DPIAs, vendor risk management, breach readiness, and tailored enterprise training — often work with Kazient Privacy Experts for advisory support and bespoke implementation.
