The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) is Sri Lanka’s national data protection law that establishes clear obligations around how organisations collect, process, store, and transfer personal data. The Act introduces requirements covering data subject rights, lawful processing, risk management, accountability, and regulatory oversight for any organisation processing personal data in Sri Lanka, or processing the personal data of individuals in Sri Lanka.
The PDPA applies across industries and technologies, including digital platforms and AI-enabled systems, and places specific emphasis on managing risks that may affect the rights and freedoms of data subjects.
With the PDPA now in force and enforcement timelines underway, organisations are expected to demonstrate maturity through documented controls, governance processes, and the ability to respond effectively to regulatory inquiries.
Xapi enables organisations to operationalise PDPA requirements by embedding governance, risk management, and compliance controls directly into data, API, and AI workflows, helping teams move from awareness to demonstrable compliance.
Use our free PDPA maturity assessment to understand how prepared your organisation is to meet the requirements of Sri Lanka’s Personal Data Protection Act. The assessment highlights gaps across digital governance, risk management, and operational controls, and provides a clear view of your company’s PDPA compliance maturity.
Xapi enables organisations to operationalise Sri Lanka’s PDPA by turning statutory obligations into structured, enforceable, and auditable governance processes. Instead of treating PDPA as a documentation exercise, Xapi provides a unified control layer that helps organisations identify where personal data exists, ensure lawful purpose and consent, manage data subject rights, conduct DPIAs, and maintain regulator-ready evidence. This allows organisations to progress from reactive compliance to proactive, continuous PDPA governance, including readiness for AI-driven processing and cross-border data transfers.
