# Class C license (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia)

The [Communications, Space and Technology Commission](https://www.cst.gov.sa/en/Pages/default.aspx#?) (CST) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has granted a [**Class C License**](https://www.cst.gov.sa/en/services/licensing/Pages/ApprovedServiceRegistery.aspx?ver=1&name=Google%20cloud) to Google Cloud in the Dammam region - enabling Google Cloud to provide services within the region. The qualification is based on an assessment by the [National Cybersecurity Authority](https://nca.gov.sa/en) (NCA) against the NCA’s [Essential Cybersecurity Controls](https://nca.gov.sa/ecc-en.pdf) (ECC) and the [Cloud Cybersecurity Controls](https://nca.gov.sa/ccc-en.pdf) (CCC). The ECC sets the minimum cybersecurity requirements for organizations that are within its scope, while the CCC is an extension to the ECC with the goal of minimizing cybersecurity risks of Cloud Service Providers and Cloud Services Tenants. Customers can find Google’s license on the [CST website](https://www.cst.gov.sa/en/services/licensing/Pages/ApprovedServiceRegistery.aspx?ver=1&name=Google%20cloud).
