Cyber SecurityServices
GoAgile protects Saudi and GCC organisations with penetration testing, 24/7 managed detection and response on a security data lake, identity, cloud and network security, OT protection, and compliance with NCA, SAMA, PDPL, ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
01Overview
Cyber security services protect an organisation's systems, data and people from attack, and prove to regulators that the protection is real. They fall into five groups: testing that finds weaknesses, managed monitoring that detects and responds, security engineering for identity, cloud and network, protection of industrial systems, and compliance and assurance.
In Saudi Arabia the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) sets the baseline through the Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC), with further controls for cloud, critical systems, operational technology and data. SAMA adds requirements for financial institutions, the Personal Data Protection Law governs personal data, and managed SOC services are licensed by the NCA.
We deliver all five groups from one team. Findings from a penetration test sharpen detection rules, the data behind detection supports audits, and compliance work reflects how your systems really run.
Key facts
02Everything we provide
Five practices and every service inside them. Open any one for scope, method, standards and the questions buyers ask.
03Security data lake
Most SIEM models force a choice between cost and retention. A security data lake stores all telemetry cheaply in a governed store, runs detections on the hot data and keeps the full history for hunting, investigation and audit.
Keep logs for as long as the NCA ECC, your sector regulator or an investigation needs, across hot, warm and cold tiers.
Telemetry stays in Saudi-hosted or on-premises storage, encrypted and access-controlled.
Normalised data feeds detection, hunting, reporting and your existing SIEM.
Searchable history and exportable reports for NCA, SAMA and ISO 27001 audits.
04How it fits together
We organise our services around the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, so each engagement has a clear place in your security programme.
Policy, roles and risk appetite: vCISO, GRC programmes and compliance.
Know your assets and weaknesses: maturity assessment, vulnerability management and penetration testing.
Reduce exposure: identity, network, cloud, endpoint and OT protection.
See attacks early: SOC, MDR and the security data lake.
Contain and investigate: incident response and digital forensics.
Restore and learn: resilience, backup and lessons learned.
05Regulations and standards
Saudi regulators set a high bar. We map each service to the framework it satisfies, so evidence is a by-product of the work.
The Saudi baseline for government bodies and critical national infrastructure operators. The NCA also publishes controls for cloud (CCC), critical systems (CSCC), operational technology (OTCC) and data (DCC).
How we help: Gap assessment, implementation and audit support.
Mandatory for banks, insurers, finance and payment companies regulated by SAMA, with a maturity model from level 0 to 5.
How we help: Maturity assessment, remediation and red teaming.
Saudi data protection law supervised by SDAIA, in force since September 2023.
How we help: Data mapping, rights and breach processes, and controls.
The international standard for an information security management system, certified by an accredited body.
How we help: ISMS design, internal audit and certification support.
An assurance report on security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity and privacy for service organisations.
How we help: Readiness, evidence automation and auditor liaison.
The card-data security standard for anyone who stores, processes or transmits card data.
How we help: Scope reduction, gap assessment and remediation.
Dubai Electronic Security Center standards and UAE national requirements for operations in the Emirates.
How we help: Readiness for UAE operations.
The common language for cyber risk programmes: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover.
How we help: Programme design and a maturity roadmap.

08How to work with us
Start with a project, add a retainer for flexibility, or hand us the whole programme as a managed service.
A defined scope, fixed deliverables and a clear end: a penetration test, a gap assessment, an ISO 27001 certification, a SOC 2 readiness programme.
Pre-agreed days of expert time for testing, advisory, incident response and compliance support, used when you need them.
We operate security for you: monitoring, detection, response, vulnerability management and reporting, under agreed service levels.
09Choosing a model
Most organisations end up with a hybrid. This is how the options compare on the things buyers ask about.
| In-house team | Typical MSSP | GoAgile | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24/7 coverage | Expensive to staff and retain | Included | Included, with local escalation |
| Saudi regulatory depth | Depends on hires | Often generic | Built around NCA, SAMA and PDPL |
| Testing, monitoring and compliance together | Separate teams | Monitoring only | One team, shared findings |
| Data location | Yours | Often offshore | In-Kingdom options |
| Language and reporting | Yours | English only | Arabic and English |
| Time to value | Months to hire | Weeks | Weeks, with a defined onboarding plan |
10Why GoAgile
Security fails in the gaps between suppliers. We close them.
Testing, detection, engineering and compliance share findings and context instead of passing reports between vendors.
NCA, SAMA, PDPL and sector rules shape our methods and our evidence, not just our marketing.
The team that builds data centres, networks and ERP also secures them, so recommendations are practical.
Reports, workshops and escalation in the language your leadership reads.
We tell you what matters, what can wait and what you already do well, with proof.
ISO 27001 information security, ISO 9001 quality and a delivery record that goes back to 2012.

SAMI engaged GoAgile to strengthen its cyber security posture with protection aligned to the rigorous security and compliance standards of its sector.
The bank needed evidence that its people, processes and detection would hold up against a realistic attacker, in line with SAMA expectations.
Result: Detection gaps were fixed, playbooks were updated and the board received a plain-language report.
Plant networks had grown without a clear map, and remote access for vendors was a concern.
Result: A mapped, segmented network with a prioritised remediation plan the plant team could schedule.
GoAgile strengthened our cybersecurity posture with enterprise-grade protection aligned to the rigorous security and compliance standards our sector demands. Their team has been a dependable partner on a mission-critical engagement.
