Full analysis
Overview
Al-SHARIF GROUP & KEC LTD. CO. presents itself as a Saudi Arabia-focused corporate engineering and construction business delivering turnkey power-transmission and distribution infrastructure, including substations, cabling, renewable-energy, oil-and-gas, water, and transportation projects.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
A confirmed blacklist signal creates a material risk for sensitive interactions, despite the website presenting as a conventional corporate/B2B brochure. The available page content does not show a login form, credential-collection mechanism, wallet connection, external password form, or detected brand-impersonation indicators; however, those benign page characteristics do not offset the external blacklist finding. The domain’s sustained history is also not evidence that the current operator or content is independently verified. No identity inconsistency between legal entities was observed.
- External reputation assessment records a confirmed blacklist hit for the domain; separate checks recorded 1 malicious and 1 suspicious detection.
- The homepage is titled “Al-SHARIF GROUP & KEC LTD. CO. – Al-Sharif” and presents a corporate EPC profile rather than a phishing-style login or payment page.
- The domain was registered on 2017-12-19 and is 8.68 years old.
- Web archives contain 699 snapshots spanning 2018-05-28 through 2026-06-11, covering 9 tracked years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site identifies its business as a joint-venture EPC contractor and states that its primary Saudi customer is Saudi Electricity Company. Its About Us, Board Of Directors, Services, Projects, Clients, and Contact sections provide a coherent corporate presentation, but the available material does not independently verify the real-world operator. No license or registration number is disclosed in the reviewed identity and corporate content, creating a transparency item for verification rather than standalone evidence of fraud. The published business claims—including turnkey power-transmission, distribution, substations, underground cables, solar, oil and gas, water, and transport infrastructure—should therefore be validated through independent corporate and contracting records. The domain is registered through NameCheap, Inc.; transport security is present, but a domain-validated certificate confirms encryption rather than legal identity.
- The homepage and About Us content describe turnkey infrastructure work in Saudi Arabia and identify Saudi Electricity Company as the primary customer.
- The About Us, Board Of Directors, Projects, Clients, and Contact sections are present, while no license or registration number is shown in the reviewed corporate content.
- Hosting is identified as DIGITALOCEAN-ASN – DigitalOcean, LLC, US, on AS14061.
- TLS is issued by YE2 at DV validation level and is valid to 2026-10-25T10:01:31+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Before any contractual, procurement, credential, or payment engagement, the proposed counterparty should be confirmed through Saudi corporate and relevant contracting registries, with the legal entity name and authority to represent the joint venture matched against independently obtained records. The stated client relationships and project references should be confirmed through independently sourced contact points rather than relying solely on details published on the website. Corporate correspondence should also be validated through an offline or independently established channel, and any payment instructions should be checked through a separate approval path.
- The About Us and Board Of Directors pages provide the identity material that should be matched against official corporate records.
- The Projects and Clients sections provide the references requiring independent confirmation.
- The Contact Us page provides the channel that should be validated through a separately sourced route.
- The blacklist finding warrants confirmation of the domain’s current ownership and operational control before sensitive engagement.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is low trust, with a significant risk attached to sensitive interaction and an independently unverified operator identity. The site’s coherent corporate presentation and stable historical presence are insufficient to overcome the confirmed external reputation contradiction.
Infrastructure Integrity
A CDN/WAF layer is present, and the observed address is treated as an edge address rather than a confirmed origin; the origin was not observable in this analysis. This configuration can reduce direct exposure of the underlying server, but it is only a mitigating infrastructure characteristic and does not establish legitimacy or resolve the reputation concern.
Closing Assessment
The appropriate posture is to limit engagement until the counterparty, corporate authority, project references, and any transaction instructions have been independently validated through trusted channels.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about alsharifkec.com at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
