The rapid adoption of cloud computing in Saudi Arabia has transformed the way businesses operate, bringing agility, scalability, and significant cost savings. However, alongside these benefits comes the challenge of ensuring that sensitive data, critical applications, and business platforms remain secure in a cloud environment.
As organizations align with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and accelerate their digital transformation journeys, securing the cloud has never been more critical.
Vast Edge’s Cloud Environment Security Assessment services are designed to help Saudi businesses identify risks, strengthen defenses, and ensure compliance with national and international standards. Whether you are using Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or a hybrid environment, we provide a comprehensive evaluation to protect your digital assets from threats.
The Saudi cloud market is rapidly expanding as enterprises, government agencies, and SMEs migrate workloads to the cloud. With this growth comes increased exposure to cyber threats, misconfigurations, and compliance risks. Common challenges organizations face include:
- Misconfigured cloud storage leading to data leaks
- Lack of robust identity and access management
- Weak encryption practices for data at rest and in transit
- Insecure APIs and application integrations
- Compliance requirements under the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA), CITC regulations, and international frameworks
Failing to address these risks can result in financial losses, reputation damage, regulatory penalties, and broken trust with customers. A Cloud Security Assessment gives you the visibility and actionable recommendations needed to mitigate such risks effectively.
Vast Edge’s Cloud Environment Security Assessment Approach
We follow a structured framework that examines your cloud infrastructure from end to end. Our methodology combines automated scanning tools, manual security expertise, and industry best practices to uncover vulnerabilities and recommend clear remediation steps.
Our process includes:
- Architecture Review: Evaluation of your cloud design, including networks, storage, configurations, and workload deployment.
- Identity & Access Management Audit: Analysis of user roles, privileges, multi-factor authentication policies, and potential insider threats.
- Configuration and Compliance Review: Assessment of cloud resources against NCA guidelines, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, and other compliance requirements applicable in Saudi Arabia.
