Using AI safely in a regulated Saudi firm

Guides·Arabic-first·Built in Saudi Arabia

Straight answers to the questions Saudi firms ask before letting staff use AI on client work — how to stay within your professional confidentiality duty and PDPL while still using frontier AI for everyday tasks.

All guides
Can a Saudi audit or accounting firm use ChatGPT on client files under PDPL?
No — not for sensitive client data. Pasting client files into ChatGPT breaks your confidentiality duty and collides with PDPL's cross-border rules.
What does SOCPA's client-confidentiality duty mean for using AI on client data?
SOCPA's confidentiality duty means Saudi accountants can't freely upload client financial data to public AI tools. Here's what it requires and how to comply.
On-premise vs cloud AI for regulated Saudi firms: which is safe for client data?
On-premise AI keeps sensitive client data in-house; cloud AI offers stronger models but sends data out. The honest tradeoff, and the hybrid fix.
