AWS Cloud Security & Compliance Assessment (NCA ECC, SAMA, NESA)

Gulf-region cybersecurity enforcement is intensifying. Saudi Arabia’s NCA has expanded its enforcement scope through 2025–2026, requiring all government entities, critical national infrastructure operators, and their third-party providers to demonstrate compliance. Financial institutions under SAMA face additional cybersecurity requirements for cloud-hosted systems. In the UAE, NESA enforces Information Assurance Standards across federal entities and critical sectors. Non-compliance consequences are severe: regulatory fines, license suspension, operational shutdown orders, and exclusion from government contracts. SUDO Consultants is the first and only provider on AWS Marketplace offering a security assessment mapped specifically to NCA ECC, NCA CCC, SAMA, and NESA.
