Understanding the Significance of CST Class (B) Registration
The Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST) formerly CITC implements a rigorous Cloud Computing Regulatory Framework (CCRF) to ensure the highest standards of data protection in the Kingdom. Achieving Class (B) registration signifies that NourNet’s infrastructure meets advanced technical and security requirements. This classification is specifically designed to allow the hosting of:
- Governmental Public Data: Information intended for public consumption.
- Confidential Data: Sensitive information that requires controlled access and high-level encryption to prevent unauthorized disclosure.
Empowering the Public and Private Sectors with Localized Cloud
By securing Class (B) certification, NourNet provides a “Sovereign Cloud” environment where data residency is guaranteed within the borders of Saudi Arabia. This is a vital requirement for:
- Government Agencies: Enabling the secure migration of administrative and departmental workloads to the cloud while maintaining full compliance with the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) standards.
- Private Enterprises: Assuring businesses that their intellectual property and customer records are protected by a framework recognized by national regulators.
- The Non-Profit Sector: Providing a cost-effective yet highly secure platform for managing sensitive beneficiary data.
