AWS security, SAMA and PDPL compliance for Saudi workloads.

Ghaim designs and operates AWS security controls for Saudi organizations, with dedicated SAMA Cyber Security Framework readiness and PDPL data-protection services for regulated and privacy-sensitive workloads.

Saudi cloud compliance

Security architecture for SAMA, PDPL and regulated AWS workloads.

Ghaim combines cloud security engineering with Saudi regulatory context. We design the AWS controls that support SAMA Cyber Security Framework readiness, PDPL data-protection requirements and secure cloud operations without treating compliance as a one-time checklist.

Security foundation

Controls that are secure, observable and auditable.

Whether the driver is SAMA, PDPL or a broader security program, the cloud foundation needs consistent identity, network, encryption, logging, detection and recovery controls.

01

Network segmentation

Private subnets, controlled ingress and egress, scoped security groups, VPC endpoints and clear trust boundaries reduce unnecessary exposure.

02

Identity & least privilege

Federation, MFA, IAM roles, permission boundaries and service identities reduce standing privilege and improve accountability.

03

Encryption & secrets

AWS KMS, encrypted storage, TLS and Secrets Manager patterns protect sensitive data and credentials.

04

Logging & evidence

CloudTrail, Config and centralized logging provide traceability and repeatable evidence for governance and audit workflows.

05

Threat detection

Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudWatch and workload-specific monitoring improve visibility into security posture and suspicious activity.

06

Edge, backup & resilience

AWS WAF, Shield, CloudFront, AWS Backup and tested recovery patterns add layered protection and operational resilience.

FAQ

Questions teams ask about aws security · sama · pdpl compliance.

Does Ghaim provide SAMA compliance services on AWS?

Yes. Ghaim offers SAMA CSF gap assessment, AWS control mapping, architecture remediation, evidence collection and audit-readiness support. We do not replace the regulated entity’s legal/compliance function or SAMA’s determination of compliance.

Does Ghaim provide PDPL compliance services on AWS?

Yes. We help implement technical cloud controls for data mapping, access, encryption, logging, retention, deletion, incident visibility and data flows that support a Saudi PDPL compliance program.

What is the difference between SAMA compliance and PDPL compliance?

SAMA’s Cyber Security Framework focuses on cybersecurity requirements for covered SAMA-regulated financial institutions, while the Saudi PDPL governs the processing and protection of personal data. A Saudi financial workload may need to address both.

Which AWS security services do you commonly implement?

Depending on scope, common services include AWS Organizations, IAM, KMS, CloudTrail, Config, Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudWatch, WAF, Shield, Macie, AWS Backup and Systems Manager.

Can you remediate an existing AWS environment rather than rebuild it?

Yes. We can assess the existing environment, prioritize high-risk gaps and implement phased remediation while preserving application continuity wherever practical.

Can compliance controls be automated?

Many AWS controls can be implemented or monitored through Infrastructure as Code, service control policies, AWS Config, Security Hub, CI/CD checks and centralized evidence collection, reducing reliance on manual audit snapshots.
