What it requires

What SAMA actually requires.

These are the obligations a regulated entity owes — the things an assessor or supervisor will ask about.

Four levels of maturity (Initial → Repeatable → Defined → Managed → Adaptive).

02

ICT third-party risk management.

03

Incident reporting to SAMA.

How Safeguard maps to it

Pre-mapped controls. Continuous evidence.

Each requirement above is bound to live telemetry — not screenshots. The mapping below is what your auditor or regulator sees.

SAMA maturity assessment with continuous evidence.

Third-party risk register with SAMA-specific overlays.

Evidence we produce

Artifacts your auditor accepts.

Each evidence artifact is signed and timestamped. Auditors can verify integrity without trusting Safeguard.

SAMA maturity self-assessment.

Third-party risk register.

Ready for SAMA?
