Governance · Enterprise risk · Compliance · Internal audit

Governance, risk and compliance — built as one connected system.

Most GRC programmes grow up in silos: risk in one spreadsheet, compliance in another, audit findings in email. We design governance, risk and compliance programmes that work together — then leave your team with the structures, artefacts and tooling to operate them independently.

In detail

What each service line covers

01 · Service line

Governance

We design governance operating models that make ownership explicit: board and committee structures, charters and delegation-of-authority matrices, policy hierarchies and management reporting — aligned to Saudi corporate governance requirements and sized to how your organisation actually operates.

What we deliver
  • Governance operating model and organisational design
  • Board and committee charters with delegation-of-authority matrix
  • Policy hierarchy and document governance framework
  • Management and board reporting architecture

02 · Service line

Enterprise Risk

We build enterprise risk management from first principles: a risk appetite approved at board level, a taxonomy that fits your business, an assessment methodology, live registers, KRIs and reporting — grounded in ISO 31000 and COSO ERM, and embedded in decision-making rather than filed as documentation.

What we deliver
  • Risk appetite statement with cascading tolerances
  • Enterprise risk taxonomy and assessment methodology
  • Risk register build-out with treatment plans and ownership
  • KRI dashboards and board risk reporting

Regulatory Compliance

We turn regulatory text into an operational compliance programme: a maintained obligations register mapped to controls and owners, gap assessments against SAMA, NCA and PDPL requirements, and remediation roadmaps sequenced by supervisory risk rather than by whichever gap was found first.

What we deliver
  • Regulatory obligations register mapped to controls and owners
  • Regulatory requirements mapping and compliance readiness reviews across SAMA, NCA, PDPL and applicable sector requirements
  • Prioritised remediation roadmap with effort and dependency analysis
  • Compliance monitoring and regulatory-change management process

Internal Audit Advisory & Co-Sourcing

Whether you are standing up a first internal audit function or maturing an existing one, we build the full stack: charter, methodology, risk-based audit universe and plan, workpaper standards and quality assurance — aligned to the IIA's Global Internal Audit Standards and regulator expectations for the third line.

What we deliver
  • Internal audit charter, methodology and audit manual
  • Risk-based audit universe and multi-year audit plan
  • Co-sourced audit execution across business and technology
  • External quality assessment readiness

GRC Transformation

When risk, compliance and audit each run on their own tools and taxonomies, no one sees the whole picture. We redesign the operating model — common taxonomies, shared control libraries, integrated workflows — and implement it on GRC tooling so the three lines finally work from the same data.

What we deliver
  • Current-state GRC maturity and fragmentation assessment
  • Target operating model with unified taxonomies and workflows
  • GRC platform selection, implementation and data migration
  • Adoption programme with role-based training

Control Frameworks

Organisations answering to SAMA CSF, NCA ECC, PDPL and ISO 27001 at the same time often maintain four overlapping control sets. We rationalise them into a single control library mapped across every applicable framework — cutting duplicate testing and giving each control one owner and one body of evidence.

What we deliver
  • Control inventory and duplication analysis
  • Unified control library mapped across all applicable frameworks
  • Control ownership model and testing calendar
  • Framework-mapping maintenance process for regulatory change

Why Vantage

Advisory that leaves an operating system behind

One connected system

Governance, risk, compliance and audit designed to share taxonomies, controls and data — not four programmes that never reconcile.

Saudi regulatory depth

SAMA, NCA and PDPL expertise as the default lens, with bilingual Arabic and English artefacts throughout.

Artefacts, not slideware

Charters, registers, methodologies and control libraries built to be operated by your team after the engagement ends.

Platform-native delivery

Frameworks land directly in the GRC Vantage platform — live registers and workflows from day one, not documents waiting to be implemented.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a GRC consulting engagement typically include?

It depends on where you start. A typical first engagement covers a maturity assessment of your governance, risk and compliance arrangements, a gap analysis against the frameworks you are supervised under — SAMA, NCA or PDPL — and a sequenced roadmap. Later phases build the operating model: charters, risk registers, obligations mapping, control libraries and the tooling to run them.

Can you build an enterprise risk management framework from scratch?

Yes. We build ERM end to end — board-approved risk appetite, taxonomy, assessment methodology, registers, KRIs and reporting — grounded in ISO 31000 and COSO ERM. The framework is implemented in the GRC Vantage platform, so registers and reporting are live from day one rather than sitting in a document.

How do you handle overlapping frameworks like SAMA CSF, NCA ECC and ISO 27001?

Through a unified control framework. We rationalise your overlapping control sets into a single library, map each control across every applicable framework, and give it one owner and one body of evidence — so a control is tested once and the result satisfies every framework that references it.

Do you deliver artefacts in Arabic?

Yes. Charters, policies, risk registers, methodologies and board reporting are delivered in Arabic and English as standard, from our teams in Riyadh and Dammam.

Frameworks we work in

Our GRC advisory work is anchored in the frameworks and standards Saudi organisations are supervised against — and the international standards that underpin them.
