COREDINATE Launches Cloud Infrastructure in Saudi Arabia

COREDINATE has launched dedicated cloud infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, making it one of the first European guard tour systems to offer in-country data residency for Gulf-based security companies.

In short: Security companies operating in Saudi Arabia can now use COREDINATE with their operational data hosted locally in the Kingdom — no cross-border data transfers required. The platform's full feature set is available from day one, running on the same German-engineered codebase used by over 1,300 companies worldwide.

Why local data hosting matters for Saudi security companies

Saudi Arabia's PDPL (Personal Data Protection Law), enforced by SDAIA since September 2023, requires that personal data stays under the Kingdom's jurisdiction. For security companies handling patrol logs, GPS tracks, incident reports, and personnel data, in-country hosting is no longer optional — it's a compliance requirement their clients increasingly demand.

Until now, most international guard tour systems operated exclusively from European or US data centres. Security companies in the Gulf had to choose: use a local vendor with limited functionality, or accept that operational data leaves the country. COREDINATE's Saudi infrastructure eliminates that trade-off.

What this means in practice

The Saudi cloud instance runs the complete COREDINATE platform:

• NFC checkpoint scanning and GPS-based patrol verification
• Real-time patrol monitoring with live status updates
• Digital logbook and automated incident documentation
• Shift scheduling and time tracking
• Client portal — give your clients direct access to patrol reports
• Lone worker protection (man-down alarm) via smartphone

No special hardware is required. COREDINATE works on any Android or iOS smartphone with NFC. Guards use their existing devices — no RFID readers, no proprietary scanners.

Why now: Vision 2030 and the demand for security technology

Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 is reshaping the Kingdom's economy from oil dependency toward diversified industries — tourism, entertainment, finance, logistics. Each of these sectors requires professional security operations at a scale the Kingdom hasn't seen before.

NEOM alone covers 26,500 km². The Red Sea project spans 28,000 km² across 90+ islands. Diriyah Gate, Qiddiya, and the Jeddah Tower district are adding millions of square metres of commercial and residential space. Every one of these developments needs round-the-clock manned security with auditable patrol documentation — exactly what guard tour systems are built for.

Saudi Arabia's National Transformation Program sets specific targets for technology adoption across industries. Clients commissioning security for Vision 2030 mega-projects expect digital proof of patrol completion, real-time incident reporting, and verifiable compliance records. COREDINATE was built for exactly this use case — and now runs on local Saudi infrastructure.

Already serving clients in Saudi Arabia

COREDINATE already serves important clients in Saudi Arabia. They asked for one thing: a proven platform with data that stays in the Kingdom. This infrastructure delivers that. Read the full story: COREDINATE success story in Saudi Arabia.

German-engineered, locally hosted

COREDINATE is developed and maintained in Germany — the same team, the same codebase, the same quality standards regardless of where the cloud instance runs. The platform is GDPR-compliant by design, which means Saudi clients benefit from data protection standards that exceed most international benchmarks.

For security companies operating across the Gulf — Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman — this provides a single platform that meets both European and Middle Eastern data handling expectations.
