What is NCA ECC?
The Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC) are cybersecurity controls issued by the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) of Saudi Arabia.
The framework establishes a baseline of cybersecurity requirements designed to help organizations in Saudi Arabia protect information assets, systems, networks, and digital services against cybersecurity threats.
NCA ECC covers key areas of cybersecurity including governance, risk management, asset management, identity and access management, systems and infrastructure security, incident management, business continuity, third-party cybersecurity, and other security practices.
For organizations subject to NCA requirements, maintaining compliance requires continuous management of controls, risks, policies, evidence, and remediation activities.
