What Afaq Security does

AFAQ Security For Information Technology Co. is a privately held Saudi Arabian IT services and solutions integrator founded in 2005 and headquartered in Riyadh, with a secondary office in Jeddah. The company provides a comprehensive suite of technology services spanning IT infrastructure (network design, cloud and data center services, servers, switching and routing), physical security (CCTV, access control, fire alarm systems), cybersecurity (antivirus, firewall, backup), custom software development (mobile, web, and desktop applications), hardware resale (PCs and laptops from ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo), digital marketing (SEO, social media advertising, website and e-commerce design, hosting and domain services), and creative design (graphic and motion graphics). Its core technology is integration rather than proprietary development, with the company acting as a multi-vendor solutions provider leveraging enterprise-grade products from partners including Cisco, Fortinet, Sophos, Juniper, IBM, Huawei, FireEye, Fujitsu, Logitech, and Quantum.

The company earns revenue primarily through professional services on a project/quotation basis, supplemented by hardware resale margins and a small recurring hosting subscription stream (starting at $3/month). Its go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct engagement through website contact forms, phone inquiries, social media presence, and on-site consultations. The target customer base spans Saudi Arabian mid-to-large enterprises, fintech companies, e-commerce businesses, and government and public sector organizations requiring integrated IT solutions. Leadership is led by CEO Abdullah Majid AL Quorashi and CTO Mohamed Hassan; no external investors, parent company, or venture funding has been disclosed. The company markets itself as a full-service IT and digital transformation partner for the Saudi market, positioning breadth of service and vendor partnerships as its primary value proposition against specialist competitors.

Direct peers

• Al Moammar Information Systems (MIS): KSA-based IT services and systems integration firm focused on enterprise infrastructure, cybersecurity, and digital transformation projects. Closest direct peer to AFAQ given overlapping KSA-only footprint, similar multi-vendor integrator model, and shared enterprise/government target segments.
• Ejada: Saudi-headquartered IT services and digital transformation company covering infrastructure, application development, and managed services. Direct peer to AFAQ with overlapping KSA presence, similar enterprise/government target base, and competing on bundled IT-services contracts.
• Sahara Net Communications: Saudi-headquartered IT solutions integrator offering networking, security, data center, and managed services to enterprise and government clients. Directly comparable to AFAQ in geographic focus (KSA), target customer base (mid-to-large enterprise), and bundled IT + security value proposition.
• NourNet: Saudi Arabian IT services and managed-security provider delivering networking, cloud, cybersecurity, and datacenter solutions. Comparable to AFAQ on country footprint, product breadth (integrator + managed services), and target segments including enterprise and public sector in KSA.
• Gulf Business Machines (GBM): Long-standing IBM partner operating across the Gulf with offices in KSA, providing infrastructure, security, and managed services to enterprise and government. Comparable to AFAQ as a multi-vendor systems integrator, though GBM plays on a larger regional stage rather than being a KSA-only provider.

Broad incumbents

• Atos Saudi Arabia: Global IT services and systems integrator with a Saudi entity delivering infrastructure, security, and digital workplace services. Overlaps with AFAQ on KSA project-based IT services contracts and competes for enterprise/government RFPs, but operates with much broader global scale and capabilities.
• STC Solutions (stc Group): The enterprise/IT services arm of Saudi Telecom Company, offering managed services, cloud, cybersecurity and digital transformation to Saudi enterprises and government. A substantially larger incumbent that competes with AFAQ for the same Saudi enterprise wallet but with dramatically broader portfolio and balance sheet.
• NTT Data Middle East & Africa: Global systems integrator with MEA presence providing enterprise IT, networking, and managed services. Comparable to AFAQ on the technology integration core, but competes at significantly larger deal sizes and with deeper specialization than a regional KSA-only integrator.

Emerging players

• Bahwan CyberTek: Oman-headquartered IT services and digital transformation provider expanding across the Gulf including Saudi Arabia. Comparable business model (systems integration plus software services) and increasingly competing for the same enterprise and public-sector contracts as AFAQ in KSA and broader GCC.

Regional players

• MDS SI: UAE-headquartered regional systems integrator offering IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and digital services across the Middle East. Comparable business model and service mix to AFAQ but anchored in the UAE rather than KSA, with growing KSA delivery from neighboring geography.
