Personal Data Protection Law No. 151 of 2020: compliance checklist for a custom CRM & HRMS software
Before launch in Egypt, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under Personal Data Protection Law No. 151 of 2020.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Egypt customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Egypt.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for a custom CRM & HRMS software in Egypt
For clients in Egypt we usually host on Cape Town or Johannesburg cloud regions, or EU regions where permitted. The choice balances latency for local users, Personal Data Protection Law No. 151 of 2020 requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
