National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA)

The National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) of Saudi Arabia is instrumental in strengthening the country’s cybersecurity framework. It focuses on safeguarding national security, protecting critical infrastructure, and securing the Kingdom’s essential digital assets. The NCA’s mission is to foster a safer cyber environment that supports the growth of the digital economy and ensures the protection of Saudi Arabia’s digital landscape.

Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC)

Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC), also known as Essential Cyber Controls, are a key set of cybersecurity measures developed by the NCA. These controls offer organizations clear, practical guidance designed to strengthen their overall cybersecurity defenses.

Key Features of the ECC Controls

Scope and Application

The ECC is intended for implementation across a wide range of sectors, including both government agencies and private enterprises. This promotes a unified and consistent cybersecurity framework throughout the Kingdom.

Comprehensive Coverage

The ECC controls address a broad spectrum of cybersecurity areas, including access management, incident response, as well as system development and ongoing maintenance.

Regular Updates

In response to the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape, the ECC undergoes regular revisions to tackle new threats and incorporate the latest technological developments.

Risk Management

At the core of the ECC is a strong focus on risk evaluation and mitigation, enabling organizations to detect, assess, and prioritize cybersecurity threats effectively.

Alignment with Global Standards

The ECC is designed to correspond with international cybersecurity frameworks and best practices, ensuring that Saudi Arabia’s cybersecurity measures are consistent with worldwide standards.

Enhancing Your Organizational Capabilities

The ECC controls go beyond mere recommendations—they are a vital part of Saudi Arabia’s strategy for a secure and prosperous digital future. As the Kingdom advances ambitious initiatives like Vision 2030, aimed at economic diversification and reducing reliance on oil, the importance of digital transformation—and consequently, cybersecurity—cannot be overstated.
