Compliance is No Longer Optional — It’s a Competitive Advantage
In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, compliance has become more than just a legal requirement — it’s a strategic necessity. For companies operating in Saudi Arabia, industrial compliance is deeply embedded within the framework of Vision 2030, where regulatory transparency, environmental stewardship, and operational excellence are key pillars.
From Aramco’s vendor requirements to stringent ISO certifications and environmental controls, businesses must now navigate a complex maze of industrial regulations to remain competitive and eligible for large-scale contracts. Failure to meet these standards doesn’t just mean penalties — it can mean exclusion from billion-riyal opportunities.
This is where EPS Support steps in — as a trusted Saudi Arabia industrial trading company and leader in industrial compliance consulting in KSA, we help companies meet and exceed the expectations of key stakeholders like Aramco, SABIC, SEC, and other industrial giants.
Understanding Saudi Arabia’s Industrial Compliance Landscape in 2025
Saudi Arabia’s regulatory environment has evolved dramatically in recent years. The government and major industrial entities are doubling down on quality control, environmental sustainability, and local value creation.
Here’s what 2025 looks like:
✅ Aramco now mandates a minimum IKTVA score of 50% for all new local suppliers and vendors.
✅ ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 9001 (Quality Management) certifications are now baseline requirements for vendor qualification in energy and infrastructure projects.
✅ The National Environmental Compliance Program (NECP) has been expanded to include quarterly audits across petrochemical and manufacturing sectors.
✅ Over 70% of EPC projects in 2025 are contingent on third-party compliance certification for documentation and risk management systems.
This increasing stringency demands a proactive, structured, and expert-led approach to compliance.
EPS Support’s Approach: Compliance with Confidence
At EPS Support, we understand that compliance isn’t just about ticking boxes — it’s about building robust, sustainable, and future-ready operations.
Here’s how our Aramco-approved consultation services guide companies through the regulatory minefield:
1. Regulatory Gap Assessment & Risk Mitigation
We begin with a comprehensive compliance audit tailored to your industry — whether it’s oil & gas, manufacturing, water treatment, or renewable energy. Our expert team identifies gaps in documentation, safety protocols, procurement processes, and operational controls.
Benefits:
Early identification of non-compliance
Legal risk mitigation
Avoidance of costly penalties and project delays

Real Impact: How EPS Support Elevates Compliance Performance
EPS Support has successfully partnered with over 80 vendors and contractors in 2024–2025 to elevate their compliance maturity and ensure long-term qualification with Aramco and other industrial giants.
Case Example:
A mid-sized engineering firm struggled to meet the NEOM project’s compliance standards and risked losing their tender. EPS Support conducted a rapid 21-day compliance turnaround, introduced ISO-aligned documentation workflows, and guided their Aramco audit — resulting in full project reinstatement and a 35% improvement in operational efficiency.
