Israel’s Privacy Protection Law and Amendment 13, and where Fintra fits
Amendment 13 modernized Israel’s data-protection regime and raised the stakes for how companies handle personal data. Here is what it asks for, and an honest account of how Fintra maps it today through the control library, with a turnkey pack on the roadmap.
Illustrative product view. This is readiness tooling, not legal advice.
What Amendment 13 changed
Israel’s Privacy Protection Law is the country’s core data-protection statute. Amendment 13 is a significant modernization of it, tightening definitions of personal and sensitive data, strengthening the duties of organizations that hold personal data, expanding the powers of the regulator, and increasing enforcement exposure. For a company that processes personal data, it moves privacy from a document you keep on file to an operational posture you have to be able to demonstrate.
- Clearer and broader definitions of personal and sensitive information.
- Stronger accountability duties for organizations that control or process personal data.
- Expanded regulator authority and heavier enforcement exposure.
- A higher bar for being able to show, on demand, how personal data is handled and protected.
How Fintra maps Amendment 13 today
Fintra does not ship a prebuilt Amendment 13 framework. What it does ship is a control library and a custom-framework capability. You map Amendment 13’s obligations onto controls you already operate, reuse the evidence that backs SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR, and get a readiness view against the mapping. Because Fintra’s evidence recomputes from live system state, that readiness view reflects how you actually operate, not a snapshot from last quarter.
Mapping Amendment 13 as a custom framework
- 1
Start from your existing controls
Reuse the control set already backing your SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR posture.
- 2
Define Amendment 13 as a custom framework
Create the framework in the control library and map its obligations onto those controls.
- 3
Attach recomputable evidence
Bind each mapped control to evidence that recomputes from live state rather than static uploads.
- 4
Read the readiness view
See where you stand against the mapping, and where gaps remain, in one place.

Frequently asked questions
Does Fintra have a built-in Israel Privacy Protection Law framework?
No prebuilt, turnkey framework yet, and we will not claim otherwise. Today you map Amendment 13 as a custom framework in the control library, reusing the control evidence that already backs SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR. A turnkey Privacy Protection Law pack is on the roadmap.
How is Amendment 13 related to GDPR?
Amendment 13 modernizes Israel’s Privacy Protection Law and shares a lot of underlying intent with GDPR: broader data definitions, stronger organizational duties, and heavier enforcement. It is a distinct law, but the control overlap is real, which is why mapping it onto an existing GDPR-aware control library is practical rather than a fresh start.
Can I get a readiness view for Amendment 13 in Fintra?
Yes. Once you map Amendment 13 as a custom framework, Fintra shows a readiness view against that mapping, using evidence that recomputes from live system state. That tells you where you stand and where gaps remain. It is readiness tooling, not legal advice.
Does Fintra file anything with the Israeli regulator?
No. Fintra does not file, register, or submit anything to the regulator on your behalf, and it does not provide legal advice. It helps you organize controls and evidence so you can demonstrate your posture. Legal filings and legal interpretation stay with your counsel.
