GRC Services for Saudi Arabia and the GCC

Samaris helps organisations build and run a GRC function that supports security decisions—not just documentation. We provide practical governance, risk and compliance support shaped around business needs, applicable obligations and the way work gets done.

Governance, Risk and Compliance Services

• Risk Management Lifecycle: identify, assess, treat, assign and monitor business risks.
• Third-Party Risk Assessment: assess supplier and partner exposure across the relationship lifecycle.
• Compliance Readiness: identify applicable requirements, assess gaps and prioritize a practical readiness plan.
• Executive Risk Engagement: turn risk information into leadership discussions, decisions and actions.
• Governance, Policy Revision & Alignment: develop and refresh governance and policy documentation for business needs and applicable obligations.
• Process Enhancement & Interlock: connect controls to operational processes, clarify hand-offs and reduce friction.

Saudi Arabia, GCC and International Standards

Depending on jurisdiction, sector and client scope, engagements may address Saudi NCA ECC, CSCC, CCC and TCC; the SAMA Cyber Security Framework; and the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL). GCC considerations may include UAE Information Assurance requirements, Qatar’s National Information Assurance Policy and National Information Security Compliance Framework, Bahrain’s National Cybersecurity Framework, and applicable Oman cybersecurity controls. International standards may include ISO 27001, NIST CSF, ISO 31000, ISO 22301, PCI DSS, SOC 2 and ITIL.

Requirements are confirmed during scoping. Services support readiness and operating capability; they do not provide certification, audit attestation, regulatory approval or a guarantee of compliance.

A Clear GRC Operating Model

1. Understand: clarify business objectives, operating footprint, stakeholders and decisions.
2. Scope: agree relevant obligations, boundaries, deliverables, owners and ways of working.
3. Build: assess and design practical controls, governance and action plans with your teams.
4. Sustain: track actions, surface changes and refine the GRC rhythm through agreed reviews.

Saudi Partner Delivery

For Saudi engagements, on-site and remote delivery is available through a Saudi-registered partner. Delivery arrangements and responsibilities are confirmed during scoping.
