Aligned to the region's frameworks.
Third-party risk built for Gulf regulators and data laws.
Coverbase helps organizations across the Middle East assess and monitor vendors against SAMA, NCA, and regional data-protection requirements - continuously and audit-ready.
Middle Eastern regulators have moved quickly and prescriptively. Saudi Arabia's SAMA Cyber Security Framework and the NCA's Essential Cybersecurity Controls set detailed third-party expectations, while new data-protection laws - Saudi PDPL, the UAE PDPL, and free-zone regimes in DIFC and ADGM - impose data-residency and transfer duties. Meeting them with manual processes is slow and brittle.
Coverbase runs a continuous third-party risk program mapped to these frameworks. Assess vendor security against SAMA and NCA control expectations, map subprocessors and cross-border transfers for PDPL and free-zone regimes, and quantify concentration and resilience risk - with monitoring and audit trails that respect data-residency requirements and stand up to local regulators.
