If you’re a business owner looking to work with Saudi Aramco, obtaining the Cybersecurity Compliance Certification (CCC) is a must. This certification ensures your business meets the SACS-002 requirements, a critical standard for third-party cybersecurity. In this guide, we’ll break down the process and show you how NHR can help you achieve compliance effortlessly.

SACS-002, also known as the Third Party Cybersecurity Standard, is a set of cybersecurity requirements mandated by Saudi Aramco. It ensures that third-party vendors adhere to strict cybersecurity protocols to protect sensitive data and systems.

To get started, you’ll need to download the SACS-002 PDF and familiarize yourself with its requirements. These include implementing robust cybersecurity controls, conducting regular audits, and ensuring your systems are up-to-date with the latest security patches.

The Aramco CCC certification is not just a formality—it’s a gateway to doing business with one of the world’s largest energy companies. Without it, your business won’t be able to bid for Aramco contracts or collaborate on projects.

The certification also demonstrates your commitment to cybersecurity, which can boost your reputation and open doors to other opportunities in Saudi Arabia and beyond.

  1. Understand the SACS-002 Requirements
    Start by downloading the SACS-002 PDF and reviewing the cybersecurity controls. These include password policies, multi-factor authentication, and regular system updates.
  2. Choose an Aramco-Approved Audit Firm
    You’ll need to work with an Aramco-approved third-party audit firm to verify your compliance. NHR can connect you with trusted firms to streamline the process.
  3. Conduct a Self-Assessment
    Before the audit, conduct a self-assessment to ensure your systems meet the SACS-002 requirements. NHR offers expert guidance to help you prepare.
  4. Submit Your Application
    Once you’ve completed the audit, submit your application through the Aramco e-Marketplace system. NHR can assist with this step to ensure everything is in order.
  5. Renew Your Certification
    The Aramco CCC certification is valid for two years. Make sure to renew it on time to maintain your eligibility for Aramco contracts.
