By simulating real user interactions and analyzing page elements, Waqi AI identifies potential violations and provides actionable recommendations to align with PDPL requirements. Beyond scanning, Waqi AI offers a centralized dashboard for managing compliance risks, generating necessary documentation such as privacy policies and consent banners, and monitoring third-party scripts. The platform's AI engine continuously adapts to regulatory updates, ensuring that businesses remain compliant as laws evolve. It supports multiple website pages and domains, making it suitable for both small businesses and large enterprises. Waqi AI's core functionality includes automated website auditing, consent management, data subject request handling, and incident response tracking. It integrates with popular content management systems and e-commerce platforms, allowing seamless deployment. Users can schedule regular scans and receive alerts about new compliance gaps, reducing the manual effort required for privacy management. With a free pricing tier, Waqi AI aims to democratize PDPL compliance, making advanced AI tools accessible to startups and SMEs in Saudi Arabia. The platform emphasizes local data sovereignty and Arabic language support, ensuring that businesses operating in the region can meet legal standards without extensive legal expertise.
