The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Data Protection Law – Law No. 5 of 2020 establishes a robust framework for personal data governance within the DIFC, aligning closely with global regulations like the GDPR. Enactia’s GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) platform is designed to help DIFC-registered entities achieve and maintain full compliance with this law through automated, efficient, and auditable data protection management.

• Data Subject Rights: Access, correction, portability, and objection rights.
  
• Data Breach Notification: Obligation to notify the DIFC Commissioner promptly.
  
• Cross-Border Transfers: Restrictions and adequacy conditions for data sharing.
