In a bold move that supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and broader regional digitization efforts, Governata, the Kingdom’s first enterprise data management platform, has officially launched with the aim of revolutionizing data governance through AI. The platform’s inaugural product is a Saudi-made, Arabic-language data governance solution tailored specifically for compliance with national data regulations while enabling smarter, AI-powered decision-making.

Positioned at the intersection of local regulatory compliance and global technology innovation, Governata is the only enterprise solution developed in Arabic that fully aligns with the Saudi Data & AI Authority’s frameworks, including the National Data Management Office (NDMO), National Data Index (NDI), and Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL). 

Built to serve both public and private sectors, the platform provides organisations with tools to monitor compliance, protect sensitive data, and lay the groundwork for the responsible integration of Generative AI.

According to Djamel Mohand, Co-Founder of Governata, “Data is the foundation of the present and future digital economy, and our goal is to help Saudi and global organisations manage it more efficiently and responsibly so they can take more accurate, swift and relevant decisions.”

Supporting Vision 2030’s Digital Transformation Goals

Governata’s launch aligns with Saudi Arabia’s accelerated push to become a data-driven digital economy. The platform supports this transformation by offering a technology stack that is both globally compatible and locally attuned, allowing enterprises to translate regulatory compliance into operational efficiency and competitive advantage.

Designed as a tech-first model, Governata enables universal adoption and rapid scaling. It automates critical governance processes, enhances data quality, and gives organisations granular control over their data environments.

Redefining Data Governance with AI

Governata’s debut product introduces a suite of intelligent tools that simplify and elevate the data governance journey for Arabic-speaking organisations. Key features include:

• Arabic-native user interface fully aligned with NDMO guidelines.
• Automated compliance tracking to assess data maturity and adherence to standards.
• Personal data protection capabilities compliant with PDPL.
• Data cataloguing and classification to centralise and manage information assets.
• Data quality and lineage tracking to ensure accuracy and trace data movement.
• Granular access control to manage data access across roles, departments, and classifications.

The platform is built for flexibility: it’s cloud-ready, can be deployed on-premise, and is also offered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution. Governata is currently working with leading advisory firms and integrators in the region to roll out its services.

Beyond software, Governata offers consulting and training services aligned with the NDMO framework. This approach supports national data offices by automating routine functions and enabling teams to focus on strategic initiatives.
