NCA Critical Systems Controls (CCC)

Who needs NCA CCC compliance

CCC applies to operators of critical national infrastructure and regulated systems in Saudi Arabia - including energy, water, transport, health, and government-linked entities.

Organisations designated under Saudi Arabia's critical systems regime are expected to demonstrate control implementation aligned to the Critical Systems Cybersecurity Controls, on top of baseline Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC). Owners and operators typically engage consultants when facing an assessment deadline, an Aramco or sector-prerequisite review, or a mandate from a supervising authority.

CyberInTech helps you interpret which CCC requirements apply to your environment, scope the programme realistically, and build the evidence pack assessors expect - without over-engineering controls that do not carry compliance weight.

What we deliver

Designed as a full consulting engagement - not a document dump.

What the CCC assessment typically examines

Assessments focus on demonstrable, operating controls rather than policy documents. Expect scrutiny in these areas:

• Governance and ownership - named accountability for critical systems security, risk acceptance, and reporting lines to executive stakeholders.
• Access and segmentation - least-privilege enforcement, privileged access management, and segregation between critical and corporate networks.
• Monitoring and detection - coverage of critical systems, alert triage, and incident escalation aligned to NCA expectations.
• Supply chain security - vendor access controls, contractual security requirements, and third-party risk visibility.
• Documentation and evidence - configuration baselines, test results, and operating records that prove sustained control effectiveness.

Our gap assessment maps each applicable control to your current state, produces a risk-ranked remediation plan, and tracks evidence completion through to assessment readiness.
