Who we are
CISO Consulting is the trading name of CISO Consulting Company for Cybersecurity, a limited liability company established in Riyadh. We exist for one purpose: to help regulated institutions in the Kingdom build cybersecurity programs that stand up to their regulator, their board and real-world threats.
Our consultants are practitioners. They have led security functions, run assessments and answered regulators from inside the institutions we now serve, so our advice is grounded in how controls are actually operated and evidenced — not only in how they are written.
We work in Arabic and English, we deliver every document in the language the reader needs, and we keep every engagement under a non-disclosure agreement from the first conversation.
To be the partner Saudi regulated institutions trust most for cybersecurity governance — and to contribute to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goal of a secure and trusted digital economy.
What we stand for
Integrity
We tell clients what their regulator would tell them, before the regulator does.
Confidentiality
Nothing is shared before an NDA; client information is used only for the engagement it was given for.
Evidence over assertion
A control is in place when it can be shown to work, not when a policy says so.
Ownership
We build capability inside the client, so results last after we leave.
Respect for the Kingdom’s context
Saudi regulation, language and ways of working come first, not as a translation.
What we do
Governance, risk and compliance
Maturity assessments against SAMA, NCA and SDAIA requirements, gap analysis, remediation roadmaps, policies and procedures, and evidence packs for regulator reviews.
Security leadership
Virtual CISO services, board and committee reporting, and security strategy aligned to the institution’s risk appetite.
Security assurance
Control testing, third-party risk reviews and readiness assessments before regulatory and external audits.
Privacy and data protection
Personal Data Protection Law programs: records of processing, data-subject rights, consent, breach notification and transfers.
Technology
CISO ERA, our platform for governance, risk, compliance and security operations, built for Saudi regulation.

The frameworks we work with
How we conduct ourselves
Independence and objectivity
We declare any conflict of interest before an engagement starts and do not assess work we designed for the same client without disclosing it.
Confidentiality
Every engagement runs under a signed non-disclosure agreement. Documents are exchanged through our secure client portal, and access is limited to the people working on the engagement.
Personal data protection
We process personal data in line with the Personal Data Protection Law and its implementing regulations, only for the purposes we state, and we keep it only as long as needed.
Security of our own operations
We apply to ourselves the controls we recommend: role-based access, multi-factor authentication, encryption, logging and tested backups.
Anti-bribery and fair dealing
We do not offer or accept anything of value to influence a decision, and we compete on the quality of our work.
Quality assurance
Every deliverable is reviewed by a second senior consultant before it reaches the client.
