Most regulatory findings trace back to governance: unclear ownership, a function without independence, or committees that do not track decisions. We put the structure in place that makes every other control sustainable.
We align the design with SAMA and NCA expectations on the independence of the cybersecurity function, segregation of duties, and oversight by senior management and the board.

Questions
Should the CISO report to the CIO?
Regulators in the Kingdom expect the cybersecurity function to be independent from IT operations. We recommend the reporting line that satisfies this for your structure and size.
