ARKON supports facility owners, developers, EPC contractors and project consultants with security risk, design assurance, SEC-directive mapping, authority submission readiness and operational closeout for industrial and critical-infrastructure projects across Saudi Arabia.
Rather than treating the SEC documents as isolated checklists, ARKON maps governance, physical protection, systems, infrastructure and sector-specific overlays into a single project compliance register.
The applicable set depends on the facility type, classification, interfaces and authority direction. Electrical substations, for example, follow a functional-classification basis under the dedicated substation directive rather than the normal FSC route.
The security package should demonstrate a traceable logic from asset and threat understanding through countermeasures, technical design, implementation evidence and operating procedures.
A disciplined SRA avoids generic recommendations by linking site-specific assets, credible threats, vulnerabilities and risk rankings to prioritized countermeasures.
Security systems are reviewed as coordinated layers rather than isolated equipment packages.
Services are selected to suit project stage, facility type, authority route and available design maturity.
Applicability review, approval route, submission responsibilities, compliance matrix, waiver strategy, authority comments and closure planning.
Asset characterization, threats, vulnerabilities, risk evaluation, critical-area logic, mitigation priorities and residual-risk positions.
Security zoning, perimeter strategy, gates, access philosophy, CCTV/VSS, ACS, IDS/PIDS, lighting, SCC and integrated system architecture.
Security communications, system segregation, field connectivity, UPS/standby power, resilience, time synchronization and cybersecurity interfaces.
Drawings, specifications, calculations, schedules, data sheets, comment registers and Proof-of-Compliance evidence structured for traceability.
Testing evidence, SAT records, SOPs, security organization, manning, training, maintenance, as-builts and pre-inspection readiness support.
The objective is not more paperwork; it is a controlled evidence trail showing how security risk, design decisions, implementation and operating readiness are connected.
Project-specific directive applicability is confirmed at the start of each assignment.
Plants, process facilities, hazardous operations and production assets.
Power, water, wastewater, substations and essential service infrastructure.
Campuses, critical rooms, layered access, resilience and security zoning.
Perimeters, yards, truck access, screening, transport and corridors.
Government, semi-government, EPC, developer and consultant-led projects.
Provide the facility type, location, current design stage, authority correspondence and available security documents. The initial review helps define the likely compliance, design and submission route.
Final applicability depends on the facility, classification, project stage and competent-authority direction.
No. ARKON provides consultancy, technical review, documentation, coordination and readiness support. Classification, acceptance and approval decisions remain with the competent authority.
Current authority terminology uses SAIS, while the 2017 Security Directives and many legacy project records use HCIS. Project documentation should recognize both terms correctly without treating them as unrelated frameworks.
Yes. Available reports, drawings, calculations, specifications, data sheets, compliance evidence and authority comments can be reviewed against the agreed project basis and applicable directives.
Early appointment reduces redesign and unclear responsibilities, but support can also be provided during FEED, detailed design, construction, commissioning and operational-readiness stages.
This page covers independent security consultancy and design-assurance services. Supply, installation and system integration remain contractor responsibilities unless separately contracted outside the consultancy role.
Project location and sector, facility type, current design stage, masterplan/site information, available security documentation, authority correspondence and the specific technical or approval issue affecting the project.
Start with a controlled review of authority applicability, risk basis, design maturity and evidence gaps.
