We run NORA and Qiyas inside the entity and raise maturity before the annual cycle starts. We do not hand over a document set and disappear.
The Digital Government Authority is the regulator that issues the mandatory frameworks for digital government work. It sets the frameworks, tracks adoption, and assesses entity performance every year. Entities under its supervision adopt NORA (the National EA Methodology) and the Qiyas DT Measurement methodology V5.0, 2026 cycle (10 perspectives, 24 axes, 89 standards), alongside the six reference models and the cybersecurity frameworks for government services.
Structure, roles, procedures, and a governance model per NORA Axis 1.
The General Model of EA Components and the Viewpoints document per Axis 2.
The seven stages, from current-state diagnosis to roadmap and requirements management.
Internal assessment against V5.0, with a detailed gap report and dated remediation initiatives.
Prepare the file for initial verification, address findings, then final verification.
We work in DGA language daily. Our practitioners hold both TOGAF and ArchiMate with real, not theoretical, NORA experience. SAHM is Avolution's authorised partner in the Middle East, so your repository runs on Gartner's top-ranked tool with Arabic support.
Our outputs import straight into approved modelling tools, no manual conversion, in the language of the official guides, not loose paraphrasing. Full modelling in Avolution ABACUS, audit-ready, with bilingual support on every deliverable.
We treat DGA as a daily operating framework, not a checklist filled out once a year. That difference is what builds a programme that lasts five years instead of one that passes this year and fails the next.
The regulator that issues mandatory frameworks for Saudi government digital work. The main ones: NORA, Qiyas, and the cybersecurity frameworks for government services.
Government entities and any party that develops or operates digital government services. Scope covers ministries, authorities, public institutions, and national centres.
NORA sets how the entity designs and manages its EA. Qiyas measures the entity's performance across 10 perspectives, 24 axes, and 89 standards. You apply NORA first, then enter the Qiyas cycle.
Applying NORA is the unified national reference. The accreditation certificate has its own track set by the DGA. For operational detail check /services/nora-accreditation or the DGA directly.
SAHM is an execution arm that applies DGA frameworks inside the entity. We do not represent the DGA and are not commercially endorsed by it. Our outputs arrive in a form the assessment team accepts, so audit moves without surprises.
We work in Avolution ABACUS, ranked first in Gartner's EA repository evaluation. It supports the General Model of EA Components under NORA, and we import the model without manual conversion.
Yes. Internal assessment across the ten perspectives, gaps identified at the standard level, a dated remediation plan, and accompaniment through to final verification.
A session with a certified NORA practitioner. You leave with a shared read of your current state against the ten perspectives and an initial estimate of scope.
