IT Audit, Risk and Compliance — Written for Practitioners in Saudi Arabia and the GCC
TheAudit.org is a practitioner resource for IT audit, risk management and GRC. We publish audit frameworks, control testing guidance and regulatory breakdowns for the Gulf — mapped to the standards your regulator and your audit committee actually care about: ISACA COBIT 2019, NIST CSF 2.0, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls and the SAMA Cyber Security Framework.
Most IT audit content assumes a US or EU regulatory context. Ours does not. If you are auditing in the Kingdom, you are working to NCA, SAMA and PDPPL — frameworks with their own control catalogues, evidence expectations and maturity models.
Start Here
IT Audit
Begin with our guide to IT audit fundamentals, then work through testing and documenting IT controls, internal audit practices and quality assurance, and the most common IT audit missteps.
Saudi and GCC Regulation
Our most-read work. See how ISO 27001 maps against the NCA ECC, what NCA critical system compliance requires, how Cybersecurity as a Service fits the NCA SOC framework, what the SAMA IT Governance Framework and the SAMA Counter Fraud Framework expect from banks, and what PDPPL means for personal data.
Risk and Resilience
Our IT risk management framework guide covers COBIT 2019, NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001:2022 and SAMA, from risk appetite through to treatment and KRI design. For continuity, start with cyber resilience and business continuity management and the BCM resource library.
