Disaster Recovery & Data Backup Strategies Under KSA Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL)

Compliance and Business Continuity

Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) imposes strict requirements on how citizen and customer data is stored, processed, and backed up. Organizations must ensure data resilience without violating local residency rules.

Key Elements of a Compliant DR Strategy

  • Near-Zero RPO & RTO: Minimize Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) with real-time storage replication.
  • Immutable Offsite Backups: Protect backups against ransomware encryption using write-once-read-many (WORM) storage.
  • KSA Data Residency: Ensure backup repositories reside within certified Saudi Arabian data center facilities.

Dataway designs tailored backup and disaster recovery solutions that guarantee compliance with PDPL while keeping critical business services operational 24/7.
