AI governance for Saudi organizations
Your teams are using AI today: the real questions are: with what visibility, under which permissions, and with what evidence? NOVA is designed to support a governance posture you can defend before the risk committee, the auditor and the regulator: full visibility, precise control, and evidence ready before it's requested: without slowing your teams down.
Your governance readiness: on one screen
The readiness dashboard gathers what meetings scatter: domain coverage, the evidence register, and what's waiting on human review: one picture that technology, compliance and audit can all stand on.
Illustrative data for the readiness view: your own dashboard is shaped by your actual flows and controls, not by templates.
Who is using what: and why
The question on the board's mind isn't "are we using AI?": it's "do we know how it's being used?". The command center answers it on a single screen.
Every flow, agent and data source in one dashboard: with its status, permissions and a named owner. No scattered spreadsheets that go stale before they're presented.
Anything approaching its limits or breaking pattern appears immediately in the review queue: so you act on an early signal, not on a headline in the risk report.
The picture of usage, approvals and exceptions is ready for the risk committee or the board: with the same numbers operations sees.
Permissions are granted precisely: never assumed
A policy that isn't enforced at runtime stays ink on paper. In NOVA, a control is a live constraint in the platform: not a paragraph in a document.
No "general access": every agent reads specific fields and executes specific actions: and whatever isn't explicitly granted is automatically denied.
Sensitive actions: financial, on personal data, or outside the usual scope: stop at a named human before execution, and the approval is recorded with name and timestamp.
Experiments live in development, operations in production: no test agent touches production data. And when needed: instant stop and permission revocation in one click.
Every action leaves evidence that holds
On review day nobody asks "what does your policy say?": they ask "where is the evidence?". In NOVA the record is built with every execution, not assembled in a rush before the deadline.
Who, what, when, and under which permission: chronologically ordered entries you browse in the dashboard and export as bundles covering the full review period.
Data minimized to the fields actually required, automatic masking of anything unauthorized, and processing records that support the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) requirements.
When the approved path is faster than the workaround, unapproved tool usage shrinks: and visibility returns to the organization.
Where does your organization stand today?
Thirteen questions auditors and regulators ask in one form or another. Check only what you can prove with a written record: not what you assume exists.
The rule is simple: if you can't prove it to an external reviewer within one business day, don't check it.

Governance is a team effort: here is each role's share
Pick your role to see what NOVA means for your specific accountability: and for whoever you answer to.
AI tools multiply across departments faster than you can review them: and every new tool means a new integration and a new risk. NOVA brings flows and agents onto one governed platform: full visibility, scoped permissions, and scaling decisions built on data rather than impressions.

AI governance is never one team's job. Here is how NOVA supports cybersecurity, data, risk, legal, compliance and audit: together, on the same platform.
| Team | Their usual question | What NOVA gives them |
|---|---|---|
| Cybersecurity | What's the new attack surface? Who holds which permission? | Action- and data-level permissions, environment isolation, and a complete log of every execution: with a published security model open to review. |
| Data & AI | Which data reaches which model, and for what purpose? | A clear map of data sources and each agent's access scopes, with data minimized to the fields actually required. |
| Risk management | What might cross its limits: and how do we know early? | Explicit boundaries per agent, automatic escalation to human approval as they near, and visibility into exceptions and their durations. |
| Legal | Who is accountable if the system errs? What is our contractual position? | Provable accountability: documented decisions, named approvals, and a data processing agreement (DPA) defining roles and scope. |
| Compliance | How do we demonstrate alignment with the Personal Data Protection Law? | Controls designed to support PDPL requirements and exportable processing records: with the principle-to-control mapping. |
| Internal audit | Where is the written evidence: and how long does extraction take? | Ready evidence bundles for a defined period: decisions, approvals, exceptions and access records: exported within one business day. |
What decision-makers ask before signing
No: and we don't claim to be. We hold no certification from any regulator. What we say, precisely, is that NOVA's controls are designed to support your readiness: in-Kingdom data residency by default, permissions at the action and data level, documented human approvals, and an exportable audit trail. The assessment decision stays with your teams and your regulators: our job is to give them the evidence they need to reach it.
Yes. On NOVA Cloud, in-Kingdom data residency is the default: the infrastructure runs in Saudi data centers. And if your policy demands tighter control, NOVA runs inside your own private cloud (VPC) or fully in your data center: including completely air-gapped environments.
Two ways at once. First, an official path that's easier than the workaround: when an employee finds an approved platform that gets their job done in Arabic within minutes, unapproved tools lose their appeal. Second, central visibility: every flow, agent and data source appears in one dashboard with its permissions and named owner: so usage shifts from scattered activity you can't see to governed activity you manage. We don't promise to eliminate the phenomenon: we give you the tools to shrink it and measure it.
A complete audit trail that answers the auditor's four questions: who executed the action, exactly what it did, when, and under which permission. That covers agent decisions, human approvals and who granted them, exceptions and their durations, and data-access records. Evidence exports as ready bundles for a defined period: so review time is spent reading the record, not hunting for it.
Three practical steps. First: assess where you stand with the readiness checklist on this page: an honest picture in minutes. Second: book a governance briefing through the contact page and bring compliance and security in from the start: we review the results together and prioritize the controls. Third: start with one governed workflow on a real case, and scale from there with confidence.
Innovate with confidence: and stay in control.
A governance briefing with our team: we review your assessment results, map the controls for your organization, and show you what the evidence looks like the day an auditor asks for it. Bring compliance and security to the same session: everyone gets answers in one hour.
