Waqi AI

Waqi.ai (واقي) is a Saudi-hosted privacy, security, and governance (GRC) platform that helps organizations achieve and maintain compliance with Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL). Built for hospitals, banks, universities, retailers, and enterprises across the Kingdom, Waqi replaces slow, costly manual consulting with automated website scanning, consent management, legal document generation, and full privacy governance—available in bilingual English and Arabic.

At its core, Waqi combines AI-powered compliance scanning with Shield.js, a lightweight on-site script that deploys PDPL-aligned cookie consent banners, blocks trackers before user consent, and keeps privacy policies up to date as regulations change. Organizations connect their domains, run automated audits that detect cookies, trackers, and violations, and receive clear remediation guidance. The free Scan tier provides basic compliance scoring, while paid plans unlock detailed reports, Shield.js deployment, legal templates, and advanced GRC modules.

Beyond website compliance, Waqi’s GRC workspace covers the full privacy lifecycle: Records of Processing Activities (RoPA), asset inventory, data flow mapping, gap analysis, DPIA and risk registers, vendor risk management (TPRM), access reviews, audit calendars, breach notification workflows, and DSAR (Data Subject Access Request) portals with complete audit trails. Waqi AI guides teams step by step—from DNS verification and Shield.js installation to policy publishing and personalized compliance roadmaps—turning work that traditionally takes months and thousands of riyals into minutes.

Waqi is aligned with SDAIA guidance and references frameworks including NCA-ECC, SAMA CSF, and ISO 27001 where applicable. All customer data is hosted 100% inside Saudi Arabia (Oracle Cloud KSA, WafaTech) with AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit, ensuring full data sovereignty. Organizations can earn PDPL Readiness Certificates and security awareness certificates as they deploy Shield.js and complete training modules.

The platform also includes a Legal Center for template-driven privacy policies and notices, a Human Firewall security awareness program, and organizational dashboards for monitoring compliance health across departments. CSV import/export supports inventory, RoPA, vendors, and access reviews for teams that manage data in spreadsheets today.

Pricing follows a freemium model: Scan (free — 3 scans/month), Scan Pro (299 SAR/month)
