The Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) in Saudi Arabia serves as the regulatory authority overseeing the nation’s telecommunications and IT sectors. Tasked with fostering a competitive, transparent, and technologically advanced market, CITC regulates critical areas, including telecommunications, IT services, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). CITC’s efforts align with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, supporting goals of economic diversification and digital transformation through a secure, resilient digital infrastructure.

CITC enforces regulatory compliance, issues service provider licenses, and establishes industry standards to ensure IT and telecom services are safe, efficient, and innovative. It also champions consumer protection policies to promote fair practices and maintain high-quality service across the sector. Notably, CITC has advanced the nation’s leadership in ICT by driving the adoption of 5G, boosting internet speeds, and expanding digital services.

For businesses aiming to import or operate IT and telecom products within Saudi Arabia, CITC compliance is mandatory. CITC certification assures that products meet national safety, quality, and interoperability standards, facilitating market access and enhancing consumer trust.
