Saudi cybersecurity authority urges registration for sector activities

The National Cybersecurity Authority has reiterated the importance of registration for all entities offering cybersecurity services, products, or solutions in Saudi Arabia, even for activities that do not require a license from the authority. Registration should be completed through the National Cybersecurity Services Portal, Haseen, at https://haseen.gov.sa.

In a statement on its official X account, the authority said this step aims to strengthen efforts to develop and regulate the cybersecurity market and industry in the Kingdom. It also seeks to enable providers of cybersecurity services, products, and solutions to benefit from the sector’s promising opportunities and to meet the growing demand for such services across the government, private, and non-profit sectors.

The National Cybersecurity Authority is the competent body for cybersecurity in Saudi Arabia and serves as the national reference in this field. Its objectives include enhancing cybersecurity to protect the Kingdom’s vital interests and national security, safeguarding critical infrastructure and priority sectors, and securing government services and activities. The authority is also responsible for promoting the growth of the cybersecurity sector, encouraging innovation and investment, and licensing activities and operations related to cybersecurity as determined by the authority.
