Sovereign Cloud Infrastructure
in Saudi Arabia

The Challenge of Sovereign Cloud in Saudi Arabia

For Saudi enterprises and government entities, data represents a critical asset. Keeping that data within the Kingdom’s borders while at rest or in transit is a top priority. At Alnatija, we have a specific approach for addressing this sensitive need: we build a strategy before building any architecture.

As of early 2026, only one of the three biggest hyperscalers of the cloud industry is present in Saudi Arabia: Google Cloud Platform. This means that a multi-cloud strategy using only the top hyperscalers while staying 100% in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is currently not possible.
So when it comes to Disaster Recovery and multi-sites, our clients only have limited options: smaller local cloud providers or on-premises solutions. The choice can be made based on available services, availability, capacity or even cost. But regardless of the choice itself, the cloud strategy must be built around it.

This is why at Alnatija, we always build a cloud strategy first to fully support our clients’ business strategy. Designing and deploying truly sovereign cloud infrastructures that guarantee complete data localization and compliance is our expertise. We ensure your infrastructure strictly aligns with the guidelines set by the Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA) and complies entirely with the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL).
