The Middle East and North Africa are following in the footsteps of the US and Europe when it comes to privacy regulations. Six new data privacy laws were introduced recently, and there are more on the way.<\/p>\n<p>On March 22, 2022, Saudi Arabia\u2019s first comprehensive national data protection law took effect a few days ago. All businesses operating in Saudi Arabia or processing the data of Saudi residents now need to assess their activities and security systems.<\/p>\n<p>And not surprisingly, this law isn\u2019t a carbon copy of any law you\u2019ve mapped before, like GDPR, CCPA or even <a href=\"\/regulations\/china-pipl\/\">PIPL<\/a>. So how can you make sure your business is compliant and ready?<\/p>\n<p>Join our panel in this webinar as we explore the Middle East and North Africa privacy laws, focusing on the new Saudi Arabia\u2019s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL). We will discuss how those laws impact your business and what to undertake to comply rapidly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This webinar reviews:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The key components of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, and Turkey privacy laws<\/li>\n<li>The implications to your business<\/li>\n<li>The similarities and differences with the other global regulations (GDPR, PIPL, LGPD)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"question-box-multiple\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"question-box bg-white\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/trustarc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/icon_Update_Small.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Any questions?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Feel free to reach out, we&#8217;d love to help. <a href=\"\/contact\/\">Contact us<\/a> or call us at <a href=\"tel:18888787830\">1-888-878-7830<\/a> or <a href=\"tel:4402030786495\">+44 (0) 203 078 6495<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"question-box bg-white\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/trustarc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/icon_Webinar_Small.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Learn more<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Register for upcoming and on-demand webinars.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/resources\/?action=resources&amp;type=webinars-and-videos\" class=\"cta\">Explore all webinars<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"right sm\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"share-it\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<strong class=\"title block uppercase\">Follow us<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"soc-list\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/trustarc\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/trustarc.com\/wp-content\/themes\/trustarc\/assets\/dist\/images\/li-dark.svg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/TrustArc\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/trustarc.com\/wp-content\/themes\/trustarc\/assets\/dist\/images\/tw-dark.svg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"javascript:;\" id=\"copy-url\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/trustarc.com\/wp-content\/themes\/trustarc\/assets\/dist\/images\/link-dark.svg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"copied\" style=\"display:none;\">Link Copied!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"key-topics\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong class=\"title block uppercase\">Key Topics<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/trustarc.com\/topic-resource\/automation\/\" class=\"badge\">Automation<\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/trustarc.com\/topic-resource\/compliance\/\" class=\"badge\">Compliance<\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta-area\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Get the latest resources sent to your inbox<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/subscription-center\/\" class=\"cta\">Subscribe<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover crucial strategies for adapting your business to new privacy regulations in the Middle East &#038;
