NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit

Product Description

The NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit is a comprehensive, ready-to-use documentation package designed to help organizations implement, operate, and maintain cybersecurity controls in full alignment with the requirements and guidance of the Saudi Arabia National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) (nca.gov.sa). It supports entities operating in or with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in establishing, enhancing, and demonstrating NCA cybersecurity compliance across their people, processes, and technologies.

Developed in Microsoft Office format (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), all documents in this NCA toolkit are fully editable and easily customizable to your organization’s sector, size, and risk profile. Each template is pre-structured with standard content, logical sections, and clearly highlighted example text, making it simple for users to insert organization-specific details without starting from scratch. Full example documents are also included to illustrate how a mature, NCA-aligned cybersecurity governance framework should look in practice, helping you accelerate implementation, internal assessments, and ongoing regulatory readiness.

This NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit not only simplifies your journey to meeting NCA cybersecurity controls, but also serves as a central reference for awareness, governance, and training on cybersecurity best practices within Saudi Arabia. It is particularly valuable for business leaders, CISOs, cybersecurity and IT managers, risk and compliance professionals, internal auditors, and consultants who need to:

• Interpret NCA cybersecurity regulations, standards, and control requirements

• Translate these requirements into practical policies, procedures, standards, and registers

• Produce clear evidence of compliance for internal audits, regulators, and external assessors

Whether you are building a new cybersecurity governance framework to align with NCA from the ground up, or upgrading existing documentation to match current NCA expectations, this toolkit provides a consistent, auditable, and efficient foundation. It supports you in moving from ad-hoc documents and scattered spreadsheets to a structured, integrated NCA cybersecurity documentation system that can be maintained and improved over time.

The toolkit is designed to reduce the time, cost, and effort of preparing for NCA reviews and inspections. Instead of drafting documents manually, you can adapt professionally written templates that already reflect key NCA themes such as governance, risk management, asset protection, incident response, business continuity, and third-party security. This allows your cybersecurity and compliance teams to focus more on execution and risk reduction, and less on formatting and document creation.

Why Compliance with NCA Cybersecurity Requirements Matters?

The Saudi National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) is the primary national body responsible for regulating and overseeing cybersecurity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Its frameworks, controls, and mandates define the baseline cybersecurity requirements that many organizations must meet to protect national interests, critical infrastructure, government services, and sensitive information assets.

Compliance with NCA cybersecurity requirements is more than a legal or regulatory formality; it is a strategic business priority. Proper alignment with NCA frameworks helps organizations:

• Reduce the likelihood and impact of cyber incidents and data breaches

• Avoid non-compliance penalties, regulatory findings, and reputational damage

• Strengthen the confidence of regulators, customers, partners, and shareholders

• Demonstrate due diligence in protecting information and supporting national cybersecurity objectives

By aligning your organization’s cybersecurity policies, standards, operating procedures, and technical controls with NCA guidance, you demonstrate a robust and proactive approach to risk management. This alignment also supports the Kingdom’s broader vision for a resilient, secure, and trusted digital economy, where public and private sector organizations play an active role in safeguarding digital services and infrastructure.

The NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit has been structured to help you operationalize these requirements in a practical way, turning high-level NCA controls into concrete documents, records, and evidence that can be used during audits, inspections, and ongoing monitoring activities.

Who Must Comply with NCA Cybersecurity Requirements?

NCA cybersecurity requirements apply to a wide range of organizations that operate in or interact with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s critical and regulated environments. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Government ministries, agencies, and public sector entities

• Critical national infrastructure operators (e.g., energy, utilities, transportation)

• Financial institutions and regulated financial entities

• Telecommunications, technology, and cloud service providers

• Private sector organizations that process, store, or transmit sensitive, governmental, or regulated data

• Service providers, managed service providers (MSPs), outsourcing partners, and third parties connected to the above entities

In practice, any organization that supports national services, digital infrastructure, government platforms, or key economic sectors in Saudi Arabia should treat NCA compliance as a core obligation. NCA requirements should be embedded into corporate governance, enterprise risk management, vendor management, and day-to-day cybersecurity operations.

The NCA Cybersecurity Toolkit has been designed with this ecosystem in mind. It supports both in-house teams seeking to strengthen their internal cybersecurity documentation and consultants or service providers who assist clients in achieving and maintaining NCA compliance. It is suitable for organizations at different maturity levels—whether you are starting your NCA compliance journey or seeking to formalize and standardize existing practices.

What is included in the toolkit?

The NCA Cybersecurity Documentation Pack is a complete and comprehensive set of templates tailored to support NCA cybersecurity implementation and evidence of compliance. It includes:

• 80+ NCA Cybersecurity Documentation Templates – covering policies, procedures, standards, registers, controls, checklists, plans, forms, logs, and tools aligned with NCA cybersecurity requirements and control areas.

• Documents designed around key domains such as governance, risk management, access control, asset management, incident response, business continuity, third-party security, awareness and training, and monitoring.

• Pre-structured templates that are easy to navigate and update, with clearly marked sections where you can insert your organization’s name, roles, and context.

• Example content and guidance notes to help you understand how each document supports NCA cybersecurity compliance and how it can be used as audit evidence.

• Files delivered in fully editable Microsoft Office formats, enabling quick localization, branding, and internal approval.

The entire toolkit is provided as an instant digital download after purchase, allowing your team to start working on NCA compliance immediately—without delays or waiting for physical shipment.

This NCA Cybersecurity Documentation Pack is ideal for organizations, consultants, and service providers seeking a structured, professional, and scalable approach to implementing Saudi Arabia National Cybersecurity Authority requirements. By using this toolkit, you can significantly accelerate your documentation efforts, improve consistency across your cybersecurity program, and be better prepared for NCA reviews, audits, and inspections.
