Al Riyadh, 26 April 2026: The General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) has released the Risk Management Guide and Advisory Package for 2026, establishing a regulatory framework to strengthen compliance and operational resilience in the defence sector, aligned with Vision 2030 localisation targets.

The guide provides a comprehensive framework for military industry entities to identify, analyse, evaluate, and monitor risks, ensuring operational efficiency and strategic alignment. It is designed to support companies in implementing structured risk management systems that enhance decision‑making and compliance with national defence policies.

Prepared in accordance with international standards — including ISO 31000, COSO, and the UK Institute of Risk Management guidelines — as well as the National Risk and Emergency Management Framework and Digital Government Authority requirements, the guide reflects Saudi Arabia’s commitment to embedding global best practices into its regulatory environment.

GAMI emphasised that the initiative aims to raise awareness of risk management principles, establish mechanisms for designing and implementing risk frameworks, and strengthen proactive monitoring of threats. The guide also supports the Kingdom’s strategic objective of localising over 50% of military spending by 2030, ensuring a sustainable and resilient domestic defence industry.
