NDMO-Ready Data Governance & Management
As the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia embraces digital transformation and advances toward Vision 2030, the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) has empowered the National Data Management Office (NDMO) to establish critical guidelines and standards on data management and protection, positioning data as a strategic asset.
However, Organisations Face Significant Challenges In This Journey
Capturing, storing and moving enterprise data across environments
Identifying and classifying sensitive data across dispersed environments
Ensuring clear data ownership and governance
Getting tangible value out your enterprise data
Addressing compliance with evolving regulations like the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL).
To stay ahead, organizations must address not only regulatory and governance challenges, but also overcome inefficiencies in fulfilling data subject rights, conducting compliance assessments, and preparing for potential data breaches. Through our strategic partnership with Edgematics, we deliver a comprehensive approach to data governance and management—automating data discovery, strengthening policy enforcement, and enabling full alignment with the NDMO framework. This allows organizations to move beyond compliance and unlock lasting business value through more secure, structured, and accountable data practices.
The NDMO consultancy model is a strategically tailored framework that brings together compliance and innovation to support sustainable growth.
Our NDMO Governance and NDMO Compliance Program deep dives into critical aspects such as data classification, personal data protection, and governance frameworks, ensuring that compliance drives both operational efficiency and business growth. With the intent to identify value-creating opportunities and strengthen security posture, we focus on integrating robust governance structures, such as data lakes, data meshes, and fabric architectures. This leads organisations to achieve improved decision-making, enhanced customer insights, and sustained growth.
