OCS is a compliance infrastructure company purpose-built for Saudi Arabia's regulatory landscape. Today, we're introducing ourselves and our product — the Compliance Operating System.
We're OCS
OCS is a compliance infrastructure company based in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. We build software for regulated enterprises — banks, fintechs, insurers, capital market participants — that need to stay compliant with Saudi regulatory frameworks.
We're not a consulting firm. We're not reselling a Western platform with an Arabic language pack. We build compliance infrastructure from the ground up, designed around the frameworks, workflows, and language that Saudi compliance teams actually work with.
Today, we're introducing our product: COS — the Compliance Operating System.
What COS does
COS is a unified workspace where compliance teams map controls, collect evidence, manage risks, and run audits. One platform, not five disconnected tools.
Control Framework Manager
Map your organization's controls across multiple frameworks simultaneously. Track implementation status, identify gaps, and generate compliance scorecards across every regulatory requirement you're subject to.
Evidence Locker
Collect compliance evidence automatically through integrations with cloud providers, HR platforms, identity providers, and other enterprise systems — or upload manually. Every artifact is versioned, tagged to specific controls, and tracked with expiry alerts. No more shared drives and email attachments.
Risk Register
Identify, score, and track risks with treatment plans. Quantify exposure with heat maps and link risks directly to controls and remediation tasks.
Audit Workspace
Give auditors — internal or external — a dedicated environment to review controls, request evidence, and issue findings. The entire audit lifecycle, from planning to closure, in one structured workflow.
Six frameworks, one platform
COS ships with native support for every major Saudi regulatory framework:
- SAMA CSF198 cybersecurity controls
- NCA ECC-2114 essential cybersecurity controls
- PDPL47 data protection requirements
- ISO 27001:202293 information security controls
- SAMA ITGF52 IT governance controls
- CMA38 capital markets controls
Over 400 controls mapped, structured, and continuously updated. When SAMA, NCA, or SDAIA publishes an update, COS reflects it — you don't have to chase regulatory changes manually.
What makes OCS different
We build from Saudi Arabia, for Saudi Arabia. COS isn't a Western platform adapted for the local market. Every framework mapping, every workflow, every design decision starts from the Saudi regulatory reality.
Arabic-first. Full RTL support, Arabic UI, and Arabic-language reports. This isn't a translation layer — the platform was designed from day one for Arabic-speaking compliance teams and regulators.
Automated evidence gathering. COS integrates with your existing systems — cloud infrastructure, HR platforms, identity providers, and more — to collect compliance evidence automatically. Instead of quarterly scrambles to gather artifacts, evidence collection is continuous and always audit-ready.
Built for the audit firm ecosystem. Our multi-organization management lets audit firms oversee dozens of client assessments simultaneously from a single workspace. COS is built for the B2B2B model that defines how compliance actually works in Saudi Arabia.
API-first. RESTful APIs, webhooks, and integrations let you embed compliance into your DevOps and security toolchains. Automate evidence collection and posture monitoring programmatically.
Who COS is for
COS is built for any regulated enterprise operating in Saudi Arabia that's subject to SAMA, NCA, PDPL, ISO 27001, SAMA ITGF, or CMA requirements. That includes:
- Banks and financial institutions
- Fintech companies
- Insurance providers
- Capital market participants
- Audit firms managing multiple client assessments
- Any enterprise navigating Saudi Arabia's regulatory landscape
