While much of the world is trying to adapt to a digital-first world, the financial institutions in Saudi Arabia are faced not only with pace of innovation but also their increasing regulatory obligations. Central to this transformation is the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA). SAMA is continuing to evolve its Cybersecurity requirements for banks, fintechs, insurance companies and investment companies.
So, if you are a business operating within the financial services, achieving and maintaining SAMA compliance is no longer a tick-the-box activity. It is part of your promise of trust, operational resilience, safeguarding your business for the long term.
That's why selecting the appropriate SAMA Compliance Services Provider and getting a trusted partnership in Saudi Arabia is so important.
SAMA Cyber Security Framework (CSF) describes clear and concise requirements that every financial organisation in Saudi Arabia must consider implement. These requirements are to protect customer data, detection and consistent response to cyber threats, cybersecurity culture, and mapping to international norms such as ISO 27001 NAD NIST.
While the framework is very much structured, the implementation may be complicated - especially if you don't have the internal skill set to translate all the elements of the framework's requirements and fit it into your organizational processes.
With that said, businesses of every size and type across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and every city or town in Saudi Arabia are already engaging and trusting qualified SAMA Compliance Consulting Services to make sure they don't miss a single requirement.
Three solid reasons why Saudi companies are choosing to outsource their compliance journey:
No Room for Error SAMA audits are very detailed. Non-compliance could result in a warning or fine, or worse, reputation damage. Your qualified consulting partner will guide you in ensuring that no gaps exist.
Local Expertise + Global Standards The best provider will have the right expertise in the regulation of Saudi Arabia and also have proper established experience of global standards like GDPR, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS.
Save Time, Reduce Expenses Attempting to do everything in-house will delay your go-to-market timelines. Outsourcing your SAMA compliance will allow you to focus on your business while professionals take care of documentation, risk assessments, and technical validations.
