Egypt PDPL Compliance Self-Assessment

Free Egypt PDPL Compliance Self-Assessment

How ready is your organisation for Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL, Law 151 of 2020)? Answer the ten questions below to get an instant readiness score and prioritised focus areas.

This free tool runs entirely in your browser — your answers are never stored or sent anywhere. It is designed to help Egyptian businesses quickly gauge their data-protection posture and see where to focus. For the full background, read our Egypt PDPL guide.

The Assessment

1. Do you know exactly what personal data your organisation holds, and where it is stored?

2. Have you identified personal data held in cloud services such as Microsoft 365?

3. Do you collect and process personal data on a clear, lawful basis or with consent?

4. Is access to personal data restricted to those who need it, with an audit trail of who accessed what?

5. Is personal data protected with encryption and modern endpoint security?

6. Do you actively prevent sensitive data from leaving the organisation improperly (email, USB, uploads)?

7. Can you reliably recover personal data after loss, corruption, or a ransomware attack?

8. Do you have a documented, tested process for detecting and handling a data breach?

9. Can you respond to an individual's request about the personal data you hold on them?

10. Do you know where personal data is transferred outside Egypt (including via cloud providers)?

What This Score Means

Your score is an indicative measure of how well your current controls align with the core principles of the PDPL — knowing your data, controlling access, securing and recovering it, and being able to respond to breaches and individual requests. A lower score is not a failure; it simply shows where to prioritise. Each focus area links to the practical solution that closes that gap.

This tool provides general information, not legal advice. For your specific obligations under the PDPL, consult a qualified legal advisor.
