Leveraging NDMO as a chance to maximize business value The National Data Management Office (NDMO), which serves as the country's data regulator, was established by the Saudi Arabian government as a significant step toward data governance and management. The important elements that contribute to a successful NDMO implementation are provided to Saudi leaders in a variety of industries, particularly data leaders and compliance leaders, in this white paper. Introduction
Data is generated at an increasing rate as Saudi Arabia's digital economy grows in line with Vision 2030 aspirations. There is a significant chance that this data flood may yield original ideas and produce measurable economic benefit. The bulk of that potential, nevertheless, is not realized by Saudi entities because the data is not properly prepared, organized, or managed. The increasing hazards connected to sensitive and personal data also pose a challenge to realizing the full potential of the gathered data. By creating the National Data Management Office (NDMO), which serves as the national data regulator under the direction of the Saudi Authority for Data and Artificial Intelligence (SDAIA), the Saudi Arabian government has made a significant advancement in data governance and management. For the purpose of establishing and overseeing efficient data management procedures amongst entities, the NDMO released the Data Management and Personal Data Protection Standards, which include the necessary guidelines and controls. The goal of NDMO's guidelines is to assist organizations in managing their data as assets and maximizing its potential for innovation and economic growth at the local, state, and federal levels.
