Which risk methodology does GRC Vantage follow?

The platform is built around ISO 27005 and NIST SP 800-30, with inherent and residual scoring, treatment plans and risk owners. You can also use qualitative 5×5 matrices or quantitative scoring depending on your appetite framework.

Can risks be mapped to SAMA CSF, NCA ECC and ISO 27001 controls?

Yes. Every risk in the register can be linked to one or many controls across SAMA CSF, NCA ECC, ISO 27001, ISO 27005 and PDPL, so a single mitigation action updates every framework view automatically.

Does it integrate with the BCM and Audit modules?

Yes. Risks feed directly into Business Impact Analyses inside BCM and into audit findings inside Audit Management, giving you one connected view of risk, resilience and assurance.

Is there a pre-built risk library for Saudi organisations?

GRC Vantage ships with a Saudi-context risk library covering financial services, energy, government, healthcare and IT — fraud, third-party, cyber, regulatory and operational scenarios aligned to NIST and SAMA CSF.

Can the platform be hosted inside Saudi Arabia?

Yes. Saudi-resident cloud or on-premise inside KSA to meet PDPL, SAMA and NCA data residency. Delivery teams are based in Riyadh and Dammam.

Risk · ISO 27005 · NIST SP 800-30 · SAMA · NCA · ISO 27001

Enterprise risk,
scored and treated.

Identify, score and treat enterprise risk in one place — pre-aligned to SAMA CSF, NCA ECC, ISO 27001 and ISO 27005 for any KSA organisation. Inherent and residual scoring, treatment plans, owners and KRIs.

Capabilities

A risk register that does more than store rows

Risk identification, scoring, treatment and tracking — connected to your controls, frameworks and audit evidence inside one platform.

Automated risk assessment

Intelligent engine accelerates risk assessment workflows. Auto-generates inherent risk scores, treatments and residual scores.

End-to-end risk management

Assess and document treatment plans for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI and HIPAA. ISO 27005 methodology applied throughout.

Risk library & templates

Extensive risk library with NIST scenarios for Fraud, Legal, Finance and IT. Add and track risks in your register.

Risk treatment & mitigation

Define and implement treatment plans with clear actions, controls and owners. Track effectiveness of mitigation strategies.

Methodology · ISO 27005 / NIST SP 800-30

From asset to treated residual — in four structured steps.

01Identify assets

IT systems, data assets, business processes — built into the register before risks are attached.

02Attach risks

Security threats, vulnerabilities and risk scenarios linked to the assets they affect.

03Evaluate

Impact analysis, likelihood assessment and quantified risk scoring per ISO 27005 / NIST SP 800-30.

04Treat

Control selection, treatment planning and implementation, with residual score recomputed automatically.

Risk library

Saudi-context risk scenarios pre-loaded

Four categories of scenarios from NIST and SAMA frameworks — every risk in the library already maps to controls in SAMA CSF, NCA ECC, ISO 27001 and PDPL.

IT & security risks

Cybersecurity, data protection and system vulnerabilities — NIST scenarios pre-loaded.

Legal & compliance

Regulatory requirements and legal obligations across SAMA, NCA and SDAIA.

Operational risks

Business process, supplier and operational efficiency scenarios.

Financial & fraud risks

Counter-fraud, payment, treasury and SAMA Counter-Fraud Framework scenarios.

For the Chief Risk Officer

A risk programme defensible to the Board, not just heat-map storage.

GRC Vantage gives the CRO a connected enterprise risk view — every risk linked to the control that mitigates it, every control linked to the audit that tests it, every finding linked back to the risk it confirms.

Inherent + residual scoring derived from control effectiveness, not re-entered
Treatment plans with named owners, deadlines and status tracked to closure
KRIs and traffic-light thresholds reported to the Risk Committee
One register that satisfies SAMA, NCA and ISO 27001 examiners

Risks tracked in the average GRC Vantage Saudi customer's enterprise register — versus ~12 in spreadsheet-based programmes.

5×

Faster residual-score recalculation when a control effectiveness rating changes — automatic versus manual spreadsheet refresh.
