DUBAI, UAE, June 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today Sumsub, a global full-cycle verification provider, announced that Local Data Processing capabilities are available in the Middle East and Africa (MEA). This new solution highlights the company’s commitment to ensuring data privacy and regional compliance.

In the past couple of years, the privacy legislation in the Middle East has evolved drastically to incorporate more requirements similar to the European GDPR law. The focus on local data protection remains firm, and companies who operate or are willing to expand to the regional markets should take these requirements into consideration. Sumsub’s new solution is designed to assist businesses in overcoming their compliance challenges in fast-developing MEA economies.
