PPL Compliance Services

Applicability and Compliance Assessment

VeraSafe can help your organization determine whether it falls under the scope of the PPL and evaluate its current compliance status. Our team conducts a thorough assessment of your data processing activities, database registrations, security measures, and privacy policies to identify gaps and risks. We then provide a clear, actionable roadmap for compliance.

 

Data Protection Officer (DPO) Services

Under Israel’s updated PPL, organizations engaged in high-risk data processing must appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO). VeraSafe offers external DPO services to help your organization meet this requirement. Our experienced professionals oversee privacy compliance, implement data protection strategies, and serve as a point of contact for regulators and data subjects. By outsourcing your DPO function to VeraSafe, you ensure independent oversight, strategic guidance, and ongoing compliance with the PPL’s obligations.

 

Registration of Databases

Under the PPL, certain organizations must register their databases with the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority. VeraSafe can assist in evaluating whether registration is required and guide you through the process.

 

Data Security and Breach Notification Procedures

Organizations subject to the PPL must implement stringent data security measures. VeraSafe can help design and implement appropriate safeguards to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or breaches. We can also assist organizations in establishing breach notification procedures to ensure timely reporting of data breaches to both the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority and, if required, affected individuals.

Vendor Risk Management and Third-Party Compliance

The Israel PPL mandates that organizations implement data protection measures when working with third parties. VeraSafe assists in drafting and reviewing Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and ensures that third-party relationships comply with the PPL’s requirements, including ensuring that appropriate data protection provisions are included. We also help establish procedures for third-party vendor vetting to mitigate risks associated with outsourcing personal data processing.

 

Lawful Processing

Unlike some other laws, PIPL does not specify distinct legal bases for processing. However, organizations must still verify that they are processing personal data lawfully. VeraSafe can help you ensure that your processing complies with PIPL.

 

Transparency and Privacy Policy Review

VeraSafe can review and update your organization’s privacy policies to ensure they meet the law’s transparency requirements. We ensure that your policies reflect clear information on data collection practices, including the purposes for which data is collected and the parties with whom it is shared. Our services also extend to crafting clear consent mechanisms that align with the PPL’s requirements for processing personal data

 

Data Subject Rights Management

VeraSafe can help your organization implement procedures for managing data subject requests (DSRs), ensuring that all requests are processed promptly and in compliance with legal timelines. We guide you in creating workflows for data subject access, rectification, and erasure requests, as well as handling objections to data processing.

Cross-Border Data Transfers Compliance

The Israel PPL imposes specific conditions on the transfer of personal data outside of Israel. VeraSafe can support your organization in ensuring that international data transfers are conducted in compliance with the law’s requirements. We evaluate your existing transfer mechanisms and provide advice on legally compliant cross-border data transfer strategies.

Employee Training and Awareness Programs

A strong compliance program requires an informed workforce. VeraSafe offers tailored training programs to educate employees on PPL requirements and best practices for data protection.

FAQs

What is Israel’s PPL?

Israel’s Privacy Protection Law (PPL) governs the collection, processing, and storage of personal data. It aims to protect individuals’ privacy rights while ensuring organizations comply with data protection regulations. The law applies to both private and public entities handling personal data within Israel and is aligned with international data protection standards.

Who must comply with Israel’s PPL?

Israel’s PPL applies to any entity that processes personal data of Israeli data subjects. Compliance is required for entities established in Israel, as well as those based outside the country if they process personal data of Israeli data subjects. Organizations that manage certain databases containing personal data must also adhere to specific registration and compliance requirements, especially certain large databases containing sensitive data

Do I need to appoint a DPO under the PPL?

Under Israel’s PPL, Amendment 13, which will come into force on August 14, 2025, certain entities are required to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO). This requirement applies to large organizations, entities whose core activities involve processing personal data, and entities processing personal data on a large scale. Before this amendment, there was no legal requirement for Israeli Controllers or Processors to appoint DPOs, although the Privacy Protection Authority (PPA) had recommended such appointments in certain cases.

What are the penalties for non-compliance with Israel’s PPL?

Non-compliance with Israel’s PPL can result in criminal, administrative, and civil penalties. Serious violations, such as unauthorized use or disclosure of personal data, may lead to fines or imprisonment. The Privacy Protection Authority (PPA) can impose administrative fines for failures related to data security and database registration. Additionally, individuals affected by a violation can file civil lawsuits for damages, even without proving direct harm. The PPA also has the authority to enforce corrective measures, suspend database registrations, or restrict an organization’s ability to process personal data.
