While the Ksa sees room for improvement in areas such as the specification of certain risks, the measures taken, and the implementation of the reporting obligation, it is generally positive about the implementation of the providers' risk analyses. This represents an upward trend compared to a year ago . The Ksa continues to randomly audit risk analyses.
