We map the work to the controls that apply to you, such as the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls and the Personal Data Protection Law, and prepare the evidence in a form your compliance team can file.

Budgets, forecasts and consolidation on a planning model finance can run without a developer. Hosn Al Tomoh works with organisations in Riyadh on planning and performance management, agreeing scope, responsibilities and proof of completion for each phase from the start.
Performance management platforms carry budgeting, forecasting, consolidation and board reporting. The heart of the work is the planning model: which drivers move revenue and cost, at what level of detail, and who owns each assumption.
Saudi programmes usually have to account for the Essential Cybersecurity Controls of the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA), the Personal Data Protection Law overseen by SDAIA and, for government entities, the standards of the Digital Government Authority. Banks answer to SAMA, and insurers to the Insurance Authority. We plan hosting, data classification and evidence around these from the start, and quote in Saudi riyals.
Before go-live, we run a full rehearsal of the cutover with the team who will operate the service, and agree in advance how problems will be escalated in the first weeks after launch.
The scope can run from a short diagnostic to a phased rollout, and each phase is fixed before it starts.
Where the effort goes
We concentrate on the points below, because that is where the work usually stumbles.
- Driver-based models that finance can change without a developer.
- Actuals loaded from ERP on a schedule and reconciled to the ledger.
- A close and consolidation calendar with a named owner for each step.
Where programmes go wrong
Planning projects fail when the model copies every tab of the old spreadsheets. We agree the level of detail and the drivers with finance before building, so the model stays fast and easy to maintain.
We record decisions, responsibilities and test results as we go, so internal audit and regulators can trace every decision and who approved it.
Common questions
What buyers usually ask before a first workshop.
No. Many finance teams keep spreadsheets as a front end for input and analysis, while the model, the data and the approvals live in the planning platform.
Yes. We document the current integrations first and keep existing systems running alongside the new ones until the switch-over is proven.
Stages of the work
A phased approach, from assessment to knowledge transfer.
Assess
We review the current state, the risks and the quick wins.
Plan
We draw up a phased plan with scope, team, responsibilities and acceptance criteria for each phase.
Deliver and verify
We deliver in phases and show that each one meets its criteria.
Transfer knowledge
We document what we built and train your teams to run and change it.
