Ensuring cybersecurity with NCA ECC Compliance.
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.
Achieving compliance is more than meeting standards – it’s about building trust and minimizing risks. Our solutions ensure seamless alignment with regulatory requirements
Acquaint your organization with the Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC) framework established by the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA). Gain a clear understanding of its guidelines for protecting critical assets, strengthening cybersecurity resilience, and mitigating operational risks effectively.
Assess your organization’s current cybersecurity posture against the NCA ECC Compliance framework. Identify deficiencies in areas such as access controls, risk management, data protection, and incident response.
Create a detailed roadmap to address gaps and align with NCA ECC Compliance requirements. Define actionable steps, allocate resources, and assign responsibilities to meet regulatory expectations.
Implement robust access control measures, including role-based access, multi-factor authentication, and regular access reviews. Ensure only authorized personnel have access to sensitive systems and data.
Safeguard sensitive and critical data through encryption, secure storage, and secure transmission protocols. Ensure compliance with data classification and retention guidelines outlined in the NCA ECC framework.
Develop a risk management framework to identify, assess, and mitigate cybersecurity risks. Perform continuous monitoring and establish risk mitigation plans for critical and high-risk areas.
Develop a comprehensive incident response plan to address potential cybersecurity threats. Include steps for detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and reporting to the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA).
Evaluate the cybersecurity practices of third-party vendors and ensure their adherence to NCA ECC standards. Update vendor agreements to include compliance requirements and regular audits.
