NCA ECC Compliance

Ensuring cybersecurity with NCA ECC Compliance.

National Cybersecurity Authority Essential Cybersecurity Controls (NCA ECC )

The Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC), established by Saudi Arabia’s National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA), set the minimum cybersecurity requirements for organizations within the Kingdom. These controls aim to protect information and technology assets by enforcing best practices in cybersecurity, thereby minimizing risks from internal and external threats.

Compliance Foresight is a scalable Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) framework that assists organizations in aligning with standards like the NCA ECC. It offers ready-to-use modules and business logic implementations, enabling efficient management of audits, security incidents, and risk assessments. By automating compliance processes and providing real-time governance data, Compliance Foresight streamlines adherence to regulatory requirements, enhancing an organization’s cybersecurity posture.
