Riyadh: The Council of Health Insurance has called on accredited service providers for health insurance beneficiaries-including hospitals, pharmacies, medical complexes, laboratories, and centers-to register on the National Data Governance Platform of the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA). This initiative is grounded in Article 2 of the Rules Governing the National Register of Controllers within the Kingdom, aiming to form a cohesive national registry to monitor compliance with the Personal Data Protection Law and its executive regulations, while also enhancing providers’ awareness of the importance of implementing personal data protection standards.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the National Data Governance Platform is one of SDAIA’s main channels, aimed at assisting entities and individuals in adhering to the law, its executive regulations, and related documents issued by SDAIA. The platform provides services such as a self-assessment compliance tool, personal data breach notifications, privacy impact assessments, and a channel for submitting complaints related to personal data processing.

The collaboration between the council and SDAIA reflects the integration of national efforts to raise awareness and promote understanding of the importance of registration on the platform, thereby contributing to the protection of beneficiaries’ personal data.

The council urges all accredited service providers for health insurance beneficiaries to register through the platform at: https://dgp.sdaia.gov.sa/wps/portal/pdp/Registration/private and benefit from its easy-to-use electronic services. Failure to register constitutes a regulatory violation subject to the provisions outlined in Article 36 of the Personal Data Protection Law.
