NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit

The NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit delivers a structured set of policies, procedures and registers mapped to the Saudi National Cybersecurity Authority’s Essential Cybersecurity Controls, so entities in the Kingdom and their vendors can move quickly toward a defensible ECC compliance position.

What is inside the NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit

The NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit covers governance through to operations, so an assessor can follow a control from the policy that mandates it to the register that evidences it. Every document is cross-referenced to the ECC subcontrol it addresses.

• Cybersecurity governance policy and strategy documents aligned to the ECC main domains
• Roles, responsibilities and cybersecurity steering committee terms of reference
• Asset management, access control and identity management procedures
• Data protection, cryptography and secure configuration standards
• Vulnerability management, penetration testing and patch management procedures
• Incident response, threat management and event logging procedures
• Third-party and cloud computing cybersecurity controls
• Business continuity and cybersecurity resilience documentation
• Risk register, asset register and compliance-tracking spreadsheets

Who the NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit is for

The Essential Cybersecurity Controls are a mandatory baseline for government bodies, critical national infrastructure and organisations operating within the Kingdom. Their suppliers are increasingly pulled into the same expectations through contract. Typical buyers are security teams preparing for an NCA compliance assessment, entities standing up a cybersecurity function for the first time, and international vendors that need a localised documentation set to serve Saudi clients.

How the NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit maps to the controls

The framework is organised into main domains covering cybersecurity governance, defence, resilience, third-party and cloud computing, and industrial control systems, each broken into subdomains and subcontrols. Meeting them demands a substantial body of governance documentation. Because each document names the subcontrol it addresses, you can point directly to the evidence for each requirement during assessment. The control framework itself is published by the National Cybersecurity Authority.

Why the NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit beats first-principles drafting

Writing an ECC-aligned policy suite from nothing takes months, and the mapping work, proving which document answers which subcontrol, is the part that gets scrutinised hardest during assessment. The pack is supplied as editable Microsoft Word and Excel files, letting your security team localise wording, insert entity-specific detail and align it with existing IT operations, without the premium fees Gulf cybersecurity consultants charge for the same deliverables.

NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit frequently asked questions

Does it cover the cloud cybersecurity controls?

Third-party and cloud computing cybersecurity documentation is included, covering the expectations placed on both cloud service providers and the entities consuming their services.

Is it available in Arabic?

The documents are supplied in editable English files. Because nothing is locked, entities that require Arabic versions can translate and issue them under their own document control.

How does it relate to ISO 27001?

The controls overlap substantially, so organisations already running an ISMS will recognise most requirements. This pack adds the ECC-specific structure and mapping that an NCA assessment expects.

Related cybersecurity toolkits

Pair this with the ISO 27001 Toolkit for a certifiable ISMS and the SAMA Toolkit if you are regulated by the Saudi Central Bank. For technical control depth, add the CIS Controls Toolkit or the NIST SP 800-53 Toolkit, and for resilience the ISO 22301 Toolkit.

Delivery, format and licence

Your NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit downloads immediately after checkout as native Microsoft Word and Excel files. Nothing is watermarked or locked, so you can rebrand the documents, bring them under your own document control and revise them for as long as you need them.

It is a one-time purchase with no subscription and no annual renewal. Because the source files are yours, updating a procedure after an audit finding or a change of scope is an internal edit rather than a new purchase.
