A National Model for Data Management Standards
Saudi Arabia has developed new standards to help organizations manage their data effectively.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) achieved remarkable economic growth in recent years. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recognized the country as the fastest growing G20 economy in 2022 with an overall expansion of 8.7% last year.
Against this backdrop, the government of KSA aims to introduce a new era of efficiency and transparency through the establishment of a National Data Management Office (NDMO). All Saudi public entities have been asked to comply with NDMO requirements for collection, processing, storage, and transfer of personal data (which refers to “[a]ny element of data, alone or in connection with other available data, that would enable the identification of a Saudi citizen”).
The government’s efforts to diversify the economy, coupled with strategic initiatives including Vision 2030 and the establishment of NDMO, have paved the way for positive developments across various sectors. The combination of these ambitious policies and innovative strategies has positioned Saudi Arabia as a regional economic powerhouse.
