Codhaus delivers sovereign enterprise cybersecurity, CREST-aligned penetration testing (VAPT), cloud security audits, and continuous NCA ECC & SAMA regulatory compliance tailored for government and enterprise institutions across Saudi Arabia.
In an era of sophisticated nation-state cyber threats and stringent Saudi regulatory mandates, perimeter security is no longer sufficient. We engineer proactive, zero-trust cybersecurity defenses that safeguard critical national infrastructure, guarantee compliance with NCA and SAMA frameworks, and preserve enterprise trust.
Modern cyber defense requires offensive validation combined with regulatory precision. Our certified ethical hackers simulate real-world adversarial attacks against web applications, mobile platforms, API gateways, and sovereign cloud environments — delivering actionable remediation roadmaps that satisfy auditors and fortify digital assets.
Rigorous black-box and grey-box penetration testing following OWASP Top 10 and CREST standards to expose vulnerabilities before adversaries do.
Comprehensive compliance audits and continuous controls implementation ensuring total regulatory alignment with Saudi cybersecurity authorities.
Zero-trust identity architectures, container runtime security, and automated DevSecOps pipelines across in-Kingdom AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
From offensive vulnerability exploitation to continuous regulatory compliance, explore our specialized cyber defense practices protecting Saudi Arabia's leading organizations.
View All ServicesRigorous offensive penetration testing across web applications, corporate networks, mobile apps, and APIs aligned with CREST and OWASP methodologies.
Static and dynamic security testing (SAST/DAST), secure SDLC integration, and API vulnerability assessments to eliminate critical flaws in production code.
Cloud security posture management (CSPM), Kubernetes container hardening, IAM privilege audits, and data encryption verification across Saudi cloud regions.
From attack surface reconnaissance and threat modeling to offensive exploitation, remediation advisory, and compliance attestation.
Map all external and internal enterprise assets, identify exposed ports, examine architecture diagrams, and establish rules of engagement.
Simulate advanced adversary tactics using automated tools and manual exploitation to uncover high-impact logic flaws and privilege escalations.
Deliver executive summaries, CVSS risk scoring, and step-by-step technical remediation guidance directly to engineering and leadership teams.
Conduct thorough re-testing of patched systems, issue formal clearance certificates, and prepare compliance reports for NCA and SAMA audits.
“Codhaus conducted an exhaustive VAPT on our fintech platform prior to SAMA licensing. Their remediation guidance was clear, actionable, and allowed us to achieve 100% regulatory compliance on schedule.”
“The depth of Codhaus's offensive security team is unmatched in the Kingdom. They uncovered subtle authentication bypasses that automated scanners completely missed. A critical partner for our security roadmap.”
“Achieving NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC) compliance was seamless with Codhaus. Their team guided our IT staff through every control, providing thorough documentation and audit readiness.”
The National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC) mandate minimum cybersecurity requirements for all Saudi government entities and private organizations operating critical national infrastructure or handling sensitive citizen data. Codhaus performs comprehensive gap assessments, remediation roadmaps, and mock audits to ensure 100% compliance with NCA ECC-1:2018 and Critical Systems Cybersecurity Controls (CSCC).
A Vulnerability Assessment (VA) uses automated scanners to identify known security vulnerabilities and missing patches across networks and software. Penetration Testing (PT) goes much deeper: certified ethical hackers actively exploit identified flaws using advanced manual techniques to assess the real-world impact of unauthorized access, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration. Codhaus combines both approaches (VAPT) for complete security assurance.
Security and discretion are paramount. All engagements begin with bilateral Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and clearly defined Rules of Engagement (RoE). Our certified engineers operate from dedicated, encrypted testing nodes, conduct tests during approved maintenance windows if required, and avoid destructive denial-of-service payloads to guarantee zero downtime for production operations.
The Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) requires rigorous safeguards for personal data collection, processing, and storage. Codhaus conducts privacy impact assessments, evaluates data classification controls, verifies cryptographic protection at rest and in transit, and audits third-party data access to protect organizations from severe regulatory penalties.
Industry best practices and regulatory bodies such as SAMA and the NCA require enterprise penetration testing at least once annually, or whenever significant architectural changes, major software updates, or infrastructure migrations take place. Continuous or quarterly testing is strongly recommended for high-transaction e-commerce, banking, and government applications.
Our offensive and defensive security teams hold globally recognized industry certifications, including OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional), OSWE (Offensive Security Web Expert), CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker), and ISO 27001 Lead Auditor credentials.
