How to get Aramco CCC or CCC+ in Saudi Arabia?

Easily obtain your Saudi Aramco Cybersecurity Certificate with our detailed step-by-step guide. Our straightforward process guarantees that your business is completely compliant and registered with Saudi Aramco, enabling you to concentrate on your main operations. The steps include:

Requirement Certificate Preparation

To register with Saudi Aramco, organizations must adhere to the "A. General Requirements" section of the Third Party Cybersecurity Standard (SACS-002).

Companies engaged in active procurement relationships should request that Saudi Aramco proponent organizations complete the Third Party Classification Template and Confirmation Letter. If a firm fits into multiple categories, it must adhere to the cybersecurity regulations applicable to those classifications. Identify the appropriate credential type and assessment requirements. If both CCC and CCC+ are required, only CCC+ will be accepted.

Conduct Self-Compliance Evaluation

For CCC+ certification, move on to step #3 (this section is only relevant for CCC). Complete all fields in the Third Party Cybersecurity Compliance Report.

This should include supporting documentation. Make sure the evidence is clear, easily accessible, time-stamped, and prominently shown in screenshots. Only CCC+ will be accepted if the firm’s categorization necessitates both CCC and CCC+. All cybersecurity controls are outlined in SACS-002.

Choose an Authorized
Audit Firm

Select an Authorized Audit Firm, create a contract, and adhere to the SACS-002 cybersecurity controls for assessment verification. We are here to assist you.

Compliance Verification & Issuance

Prior to the assessment verification, please provide the Third Party Cybersecurity Compliance Report, the Third Party Classification Template, and the Third Party Classification Confirmation Letter.

Send the documents to the Authorized Audit Firm. The report will be created following the verification of the submitted materials. Schedule an on-site compliance assessment with the Authorized Audit Firm, which will compile the report. If the company meets 100% of the SACS-002 requirements, it will be awarded a Third Party Cybersecurity Compliance Certificate. To attain full compliance, an organization must implement Non-Compliance Controls as identified by the Authorized Audit Firm. Confirm the assessment results and submit the revised Third Party Cybersecurity Compliance Report.

Send in Issued CCC

Send the acquired Third Party Cybersecurity Compliance Certificate and the Cybersecurity Compliance Report from the Authorized Audit Firm to Saudi Aramco through the e-marketplace system.

Companies engaged in active procurement relationships should ask Saudi Aramco proponent organizations to fill out the Third Party Classification Template and the Confirmation Letter. If a firm fits into multiple categories, it should adhere to the cybersecurity regulations associated with those classifications. Identify the type of credential and the necessary assessment requirements. If both CCC and CCC+ are required, only CCC+ will be accepted.

Validity

The certification remains valid for two years. If a new contract necessitates a different cybersecurity classification, you must acquire and submit a new certificate.

Ensure that you submit a new CCC before the two-year period expires. There will be ongoing updates with Saudi Aramco authorized audit firms.

 
 

FAQ

The CCC requires third parties to perform a self-assessment for compliance with the controls outlined in SACS-002 and have their compliance assessment package verified remotely by an authorized audit firm. This requirement applies to third parties that do not fall into the company’s classifications. In contrast, the CCC+ mandates an on-site evaluation of the third party by one of the authorized firms to assess compliance with the specified controls. Third parties categorized as Network Connectivity or Critical Data Processor will need to obtain the CCC+.

The certificate is valid for two years from the date of issuance.

The key areas assessed include network security, access controls, data protection measures, incident response strategies, adherence to cybersecurity regulations and standards, as well as staff training and awareness programs.
