GRC Program Consolidation — Major Saudi Financial Institution

Challenge

A leading Saudi financial institution was managing risk across 15+ fragmented spreadsheets, with no unified view for the board. Compliance reporting took weeks and lacked credibility with regulators.

Solution

Samurai deployed a unified GRC framework aligned with NCA ECC, PDPL, and SAMA BCM. Executive dashboards replaced manual reports. vCISO advisory provided ongoing governance leadership.

Results

Risk reporting reduced from 15 spreadsheets to 6. Board-ready dashboards delivered in real time. Full NCA ECC compliance achieved. Audit preparation time reduced by 60%.

"They walked into a 15-foot spreadsheet and walked out leaving us with six. The board can finally read the risk dashboard without a translator."

GOVERNMENT

SOC Deployment for Government Entity — Saudi Arabia

Challenge

A government agency lacked 24×7 visibility into threats targeting its critical infrastructure, with no structured incident response capability.

Solution

Samurai deployed a Managed SOC with SIEM/SOAR integration, MITRE ATT&CK-aligned detection use cases, and a full DFIR playbook aligned with NCA reporting requirements.

Results

Mean time to detect (MTTD) reduced by 80%. Full NCA ECC compliance achieved. 24×7 monitoring with escalation SLAs established.

ENERGY

OT/ICS Security Program — Energy Sector Client

Challenge

An energy company's OT/ICS environment had no network segmentation, limited visibility, and no alignment with NCA ECC for operational technology.

Solution

Samurai delivered a comprehensive OT security program including network segmentation, SCADA monitoring, anomaly detection, and NCA ECC compliance mapping.

Results

Full OT network visibility achieved. NCA ECC OT requirements met. Zero unplanned OT downtime in 12 months post-implementation.
