Saudi Aramco is one of the world’s largest oil companies. Because they handle private and important data, they have strict cybersecurity rules for all their business partners. One of the main rules is called the Saudi Aramco Third-Party Cybersecurity Standard (SACS-002).
To meet this rule, your business must:
- Review your IT systems
- Fix any security problems
- Follow the security steps mentioned in SACS-002
- Submit proof to Aramco
If your systems meet their standards, you will receive a Cybersecurity Compliance Certificate (CCC). This is required for both current and new vendors who want to work with Aramco.
Understanding Aramco
Cybersecurity
Certification
Saudi Aramco introduced two classes of cybersecurity certifications for their supply chain partners, depending on the nature of work outsourced to them or the classification of the company. One was the Cybersecurity Compliance Certification, or CCC, and the other was the Cybersecurity Compliance Certification Plus, or CCC+.
The goal of these certifications is to reduce cyber risks, address security weaknesses, and ensure strong protection for third-party vendors. This step was taken to tackle cybersecurity threats, which had been a significant challenge for Saudi Aramco in the past.
- CCC Certification is needed for companies offering general services, IT support, custom software, and cloud solutions.
- CCC+ Certification is required for companies handling network connections and sensitive data.
- The certification is valid for two years, and businesses must follow the rules to keep it active.
- SACS-002 outlines 24 general rules and 87 specific security requirements that companies must follow.
- Identification includes sorting company assets, setting security policies, checking for risks through testing, and fixing security issues.
- Protection involves using passwords and ID badges to control access, securing data and software, planning for emergencies, and protecting key systems.
- Detection means keeping an eye on systems for unusual activity using regular checks and monitoring tools.
- Response includes having a clear plan to handle security problems, fixing issues quickly, and preventing future risks.
