Saudi Arabia is transforming under Vision 2030, but data compliance remains a bottleneck. Most SMEs are forced to use foreign GRC tools that store sensitive data on international servers—creating the very compliance gaps they claim to fix. Enter Waqi (واقي). We architected Waqi to give Saudi businesses their digital sovereignty back. Built from the ground up to automate Saudi PDPL workflows, Waqi is a specialized protection shield that lives where your business lives: in Jeddah.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Muhammad, founder of Waqi (واقي).
Waqi is a Saudi-built compliance and protection platform that helps SMEs align with PDPL requirements while keeping sensitive data hosted inside the Kingdom.
I built this because as Saudi Arabia moves toward Vision 2030, I kept seeing the same risk: many local startups rely on foreign-hosted compliance tools, which creates data residency and regulatory challenges for Saudi businesses.
So I built Waqi to help bring that data home.
What makes Waqi different:
🇸🇦 Built for Saudi Arabia first
Our infrastructure is locally hosted in KSA, giving businesses stronger control over where sensitive data lives.
🛡️ PDPL-focused automation
We turn complex compliance workflows into practical, guided actions teams can actually follow.
⚡ Fast, practical product experience
Waqi is designed to be simple, responsive, and usable for founders and teams without heavy compliance overhead.
Launch offer:
To celebrate launch, we’re opening an exclusive beta cohort:
The first 10 Saudi SMEs get Waqi free for 2 months (0 SAR).
If your company operates in KSA, I’d love your feedback.
What’s the hardest part of PDPL for your team today: documentation, vendor risk, or audit readiness?
I’ll be here all day answering every question.
Let’s build a stronger, sovereign digital future for Saudi businesses. 🚀
