Huawei Cloud authorised to handle Saudi govt data including public, restricted, secret, top-secret

Huawei Cloud has received a Class C License from the Communications, Space, and Technology Commission, CST in Saudi Arabia, marking the commission’s highest certification for Cloud Service Providers, CSPs. The recognition follows a thorough evaluation by the National Cybersecurity Authority, NCA, assessing Huawei Cloud against the Essential Cybersecurity Controls, ECC and the Cloud Cybersecurity Controls.

Under this license, Huawei Cloud is now authorised to handle government data classifications, encompassing public data, restricted data, secret data, and top-secret data. This licensing achievement follows the recent launch of the Huawei Cloud Riyadh Region.

Alan Qi, Chief Executive Officer, Sparkoo Saudi Arabia, Huawei Cloud, said: “Huawei Cloud is honoured to receive the prestigious Class C License from the CST, signifying a major milestone in our commitment to advancing cloud services in the Saudi Arabia. This certification underscores our unwavering dedication to upholding the highest cybersecurity standards and facilitating the nation’s digital transformation journey.”

This pivotal license empowers Huawei Cloud to deliver cutting-edge Cloud Services to both public and private sectors across the Saudi Arabia and the wider region. The rigorous criteria for obtaining a Class C License include adherence to the Cloud Cybersecurity Controls for the Government Sector, aligning with Class A and Class B standards and requirements, and obtaining necessary approvals in compliance with prevailing laws, regulations, policies, and governance models.

Huawei Cloud plans to employ cutting-edge technologies such as Cloud Native 2.0, GaussDB, Digital Human, and Pangu Model 3.0 for Government, Electricity and Meteorology services, to boost intelligence in Saudi Arabia.

The Pangu 3.0 AI model specifically tackles challenges in AI adoption, using industry knowledge to improve AI capabilities in areas like finance, government, manufacturing, and beyond. The introduction of this model is expected to drive innovation in the Saudi Arabia and expedite economic diversification.
