Law on Protection of Personal Data: compliance checklist for a SaaS MVP development
Before launch in Armenia, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under Law on Protection of Personal Data.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Armenia 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 Armenia.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for a SaaS MVP development in Armenia
For clients in Armenia we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, Law on Protection of Personal Data 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.
