National Data Index (NDI) – Driving Progress in the Data Management Practices in the Kingdom

Strategic Assessment and Contineous Monitoring to unlock innovation, and drive progress towards Vison 2030

Data Management (DM) and Personal Data Protection (PDP) are crucial for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to achieve its vision of becoming a global leader in Data and AI. In recent years, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has made remarkable strides in harnessing the power of data to drive its growth and development. 

However, with progress comes the need for robust structures to guide and monitor it. Recognising this, the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) established the National Data Index (NDI). This dynamic, result-oriented monitoring and evaluation index serves as a critical tool for assessing the productivity of government entities and enhancing data management practices.

In this white paper, we delve into the strategic objectives of the NDI, the methodologies employed in its assessments, and its impacts on both the public and private sectors. We also provide insights into Deloitte's perspective on this transformative initiative.
