About Rovera

Rovera offers governance, risk and compliance (GRC) software together with compliance consulting for companies working under Saudi regulators. Its website focuses on the SAMA Cyber Security Framework (CSF), the SAMA Cyber Resilience Fundamental Requirements (CRFR), the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) controls and the personal data protection law (PDPL).

The company positions the product for small teams and early-stage startups, saying it is priced for companies raising a seed round. The software holds pre-mapped SAMA CSF, CRFR and NCA controls with plain-language explanations, a dashboard of implemented and pending controls, instant audit report export, and connections to AWS, GitHub and Google Workspace to check controls against live configuration. The consulting arm provides gap assessments, implementation support and audit readiness.

Rovera lists two leaders. Abu Obeida Bakhach is CEO; the company's site says they are a former deputy CEO and chief product officer at Tweeq and a former chief product officer at HungerStation, with earlier product roles at Amazon and Microsoft. Abdullah Bakhach is CTO; the site says they were previously CTO of Toters and an engineer at Amazon on Kindle. The site names Jisr, a Saudi HR software provider, among its clients.

The website is available in English and Arabic and offers a free trial.
