Egypt PDP Law 151 · Personal Data Protection · Evidence & Implementation Kit
Comply with Egypt's Law 151 of 2020, without decoding the licensing regime and DPO duties yourself.
Every Law 151 obligation handed to you as an adopt-ready control, from the principles and consent through the data subject rights and the mandatory DPO to sensitive data, cross-border transfer and the Center's licensing, with the evidence the Data Protection Center examines.
Compliant in a weekend, not a quarter.
Here is the honest situation. Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law, Law 151 of 2020, is enforced by the Personal Data Protection Center and is distinctive for its licensing regime. It requires a lawful basis and consent, the data subject rights, technical and organizational measures, a mandatory data protection officer, breach notification to the Center, and, unusually, a licence or permit from the Center for activities including processing sensitive data, electronic marketing, and cross-border transfer. Working out which licences you need and evidencing each duty is real work, and a controller that markets or transfers data abroad without the Center's permit is exactly where controllers fall short.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every Law 151 obligation written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence the Data Protection Center examines.

The licensing regime is what makes Egypt different
Law 151 requires a licence or permit from the Personal Data Protection Center for a range of activities, including processing sensitive data, electronic marketing, and cross-border transfer. A controller used to lighter regimes will miss it. This Kit builds the licensing controls and the DPO and breach duties with the evidence the Center asks for.
What one control looks like
This is scope, the principles and the key definitions, where Law 151 compliance begins. All 33 are built to this depth.
EGPDPL-1 Define personal data processing scope PRINCIPLES
Put this control in place
Document the full scope of processing activities carried out by [your organization name], identifying every operation that involves personal data of natural persons stored or processed electronically, whether performed inside Egypt or by an entity abroad targeting Egyptian data subjects, and confirm which of these activities fall within the scope of Law 151 of 2020 and its executive regulations.
Legal note.
Law 151 of 2020 applies to electronically held personal data of natural persons and can reach controllers located outside Egypt.
Evidence the Data Protection Center examines
- Documented scope statement referencing Law 151 of 2020
- Inventory of electronic processing activities
- Mapping of activities to natural person data subjects
- Assessment of extraterritorial applicability
Common finding they raise: Organizations often overlook processing performed by overseas affiliates that still targets Egyptian data subjects.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A duty you cannot evidence is exposure to the Center's penalties. This tells you what the Center examines and where controllers fall short, for every obligation.
- Licensing, the DPO and breach built in. The Center's licensing regime, the mandatory DPO and the breach notification are written into the controls, the substance Law 151 requires.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. Law 151 follows the GDPR model, so this work feeds a broader Middle East and multi-jurisdiction privacy program.
