Technical PDPL implementation

The Egyptian Personal Data Protection Law 151 of 2020 and its executive regulations (Decree 816 of 2025) require your company to implement technical controls within your IT systems: where data is stored, who accesses it, how it is secured, and how security breaches are detected and reported. We handle the technical side: auditing personal data in your systems, applying access and encryption controls, and compiling the technical architecture documentation required for licensing files.

Legal policies, consent forms, and regulatory license applications are handled by your legal counsel or an authorized consultant accredited by the Personal Data Protection Center, and we collaborate directly with them.

• Privacy policies written on paper while actual IT systems lack technical compliance.
• Unstructured personal data scattered across spreadsheets, personal emails, and employee laptops with zero visibility.
• Customer records stored outside Egypt without the required cross-border transfer permits.

• Personal data inventory across your systems: what records exist, where they reside, who accesses them, and for what purpose.
• Data flow mapping tracing movements between internal systems and third-party vendors.
• Access control hardening ensuring employees only access personal data required for their specific job role.
• Encryption for data at rest in databases and storage, as well as data in transit.
