CST Cloud Computing Regulatory Framework
How Spark-Ed fits the Saudi cloud regulations.
What this means for your school
The Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST) sets the Cloud Computing Regulatory Framework (CRF) for cloud services in the Kingdom. Spark-Ed is built in alignment with it, and Saudi schools are hosted in KSA.
Hosted in KSA
Schools in Saudi Arabia have their data hosted on AWS in the Kingdom.
Cloud only, on AWS
Spark-Ed runs only in the cloud, so there is nothing to install or maintain at your school.
Daily backups
Your data is backed up every day so it can be restored if something goes wrong.
Continuous monitoring
The platform is monitored around the clock for availability and unusual activity.
Clear terms
Service terms and a data processing agreement are available on request.

Each school is assigned a hosting region on AWS. All regions use the same security practices.

Schools in the Kingdom are hosted on AWS in KSA.
