Compliance Guidance

At QiraAI, we understand the importance of ensuring compliance with local laws, regulations, and industry-specific standards. Our platform is designed to help businesses, especially in Saudi Arabia, integrate AI into their operations while adhering to the Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA) framework, as well as regulations from the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), among others. Below is an outline of how our services support compliance and security, ensuring that your data remains protected under controlled conditions.

1. Private Cloud Solutions for Maximum Security

QiraAI provides True Private Cloud deployments, customized for clients through local cloud providers like Google Dammam or AWS Bahrain, depending on the customer’s location. This private environment ensures that only your organization has access to your data, mitigating the risk of external breaches or third-party access.

  • Data Sovereignty: With our geographically localized private cloud infrastructure, clients can ensure compliance with local data protection regulations.
  • Regulated Industries: For industries such as Healthcare and Financial Services, this provides an extra layer of compliance with their unique regulatory needs, such as those dictated by SDAIA, SAMA, and industry-specific standards.

2. AI Best Practices in Cloud Access

We encourage all businesses utilizing our GenAI services to follow best practices for accessing and managing AI cloud environments. While we provide secure access protocols, such as multi-factor authentication and encrypted connections, it’s essential that IT departments work closely with us to align on compliance measures and ensure that operational security is consistent with each organization’s unique policies.

3. Locally Available GenAI Features

Our core Generative AI capabilities, including text generation, are locally hosted and fully available within the Kingdom. However, we want to note that certain advanced features (e.g., Image Creation, Audio Creation, and Video Creation) may not be hosted locally. If your company relies on these features, we recommend reviewing the relevant compliance frameworks and regulations for your specific sector.

4. Example Use Cases

Here are a few ways QiraAI can assist your organization in ensuring compliance across different sectors:

  • Healthcare: Use our GenAI platform to enhance patient support services, analyze medical records, or assist doctors with diagnosis – all while ensuring the data remains within Saudi legal jurisdiction, complying with healthcare privacy standards, such as HIPAA and local data laws from SDAIA.
  • Banking & Finance: Automate financial document approvals and audit processes by using AI-driven analytics that adhere to data governance regulations by SAMA (Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority), ensuring compliance with finance-related data protection standards.
  • Retail & Customer Support: Deploy secure chatbots or AI-based customer service tools hosted locally to protect customer data and ensure compliance with Saudi legal standards while offering efficient services.

5. Consultation and Legal Advisory

While our services provide a secure and compliant environment, we strongly recommend seeking expert legal advice for industry-specific guidelines. Here are several resources for further consultation:

6. Data Privacy and Protection Mechanisms

Our platform is committed to upholding the strictest data privacy laws to protect our clients. Our AI deployments facilitate compliance with key international frameworks such as the EU’s GDPR as well as Saudi Arabia's Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), overseen by SDAIA. Clients can count on us to offer:

  • Encryption: End-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest.
  • Access Control: Strict, role-based access control to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data.
  • Data Localization: Ensuring that all data processing occurs within a secure, local cloud environment.
  • Data Anonymization: For cases where personal data must be shared, anonymization techniques ensure users are protected.
