The Digital Government Authority (DGA) recognized the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) today, Monday, as a leading government entity in risk management and business continuity. This prestigious recognition is based on the results of the Digital Transformation Measurement Index (Qiyas) 2025 Index, which evaluates the commitment of government authorities to fundamental digital transformation standards.

This recognition marks the culmination of the SFDA’s efforts to achieve full compliance with global requirements for risk management and business continuity. This commitment is part of a systematic framework designed to elevate the maturity level of digital government services, enhancing the Authority's preparedness for potential challenges and ensuring the sustainability of its vital operations.

The SFDA’s excellence in this area reflects its adoption of advanced regulatory practices that strengthen institutional readiness. By building and activating an integrated risk management system, the Authority proactively identifies potential threats and addresses them through clear, continuous improvement mechanisms. This approach ensures the resilience and high-efficiency of the SFDA's digital services.

Furthermore, this achievement highlights the Authority’s success in developing a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS). This includes the preparation and regular testing of response and recovery plans for service disruptions, thereby minimizing negative impacts and ensuring the uninterrupted sustainability of digital government services.

This milestone reaffirms the SFDA’s institutional commitment to implementing best digital transformation standards. Such efforts significantly enhance government performance and directly support the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 in building a reliable digital government sector.
