Youssef Mamdouh

Orchestrated enterprise privacy and governance workstreams across KSA, UAE, and Egypt,
aligning business, legal, cybersecurity, and GRC stakeholders with PDPL, SAMA, CBUAE, NCA
ECC/DCC, and UAE IAR requirements.
Led self-assessments, control reviews, and remediation planning for SAMA semi-annual reviews,
NCA DCC self-assessments, UAE NOC submissions, UAE IAR data governance controls, and
anti-fraud regulatory requirements.
Conducted risk assessments, privacy reviews, and due diligence for 20+ platforms, vendors, and
initiatives, providing C-level stakeholders with actionable remediation roadmaps.
Drafted and reviewed privacy policies, privacy notices, DPP artifacts, DPAs, and contract addenda
while supporting cross-border transfer proposals and data residency requirements across KSA, the
UAE, and Egypt jurisdictions.
Built and maintained key governance artifacts, including data protection compliance reports, TPDT
registers, CDE classification outputs, privacy questionnaires, and central-bank-related
documentation for KSA, the UAE, and Egypt programs.
Supported privacy operations by advising on consumer protection requirements, HR data requests,
CRM system requirements, dashboard access controls, and end-customer data-sharing scenarios
under lawful-processing and minimization principles.
Evaluated privacy engineering and data discovery solutions, including BigID and GCP tooling, to
strengthen data discovery, classification, monitoring, and privacy-by-design implementation.

I contributed to designing and implementing customized data privacy frameworks for clients in highly regulated industries, including banking and large enterprises handling massive datasets. My work involved ensuring compliance with global standards (such as GDPR, PDPL), optimizing data governance processes, and embedding privacy-by-design principles to mitigate risks and enhance customer trust. This required close collaboration with stakeholders to align stringent privacy requirements with business objectives while addressing scalability challenges unique to complex organizations.
