Counsel who has sat on both sides of the compliance conversation.
“Privacy is not secrecy. It is control.”
Ahmed Bahnasy
Ahmed Bahnasy is a data protection and financial-compliance lawyer based in Cairo, certified CIPP/E, CIPM, and in GRC. He built his practice inside regulated financial services: twelve years at Emirates NBD Egypt, culminating as Head of Litigation, Garnishment and Data Protection Officer, followed by a compliance role at Tokio Marine Egypt General Takaful.
That background is the reason EGprivacy reads regulation the way a regulator does — not just as a checklist to clear, but as a set of obligations that has to hold up under an actual audit, an actual data-subject complaint, or an actual breach.
He teaches part-time at the Egyptian Banking Institute, the American Bar Association, and IAPP — banking law, contract drafting, advocacy, and data privacy — and works fluently across Arabic and English, drafting regulator-facing documents natively in both.
Compliance built to survive an audit, not just a checklist review.
We map data flows, close the gaps, and document the reasoning so your obligations hold up under scrutiny — from a regulator, a partner's due-diligence team, or a data subject who actually exercises their rights.
