Cyber Security Framework Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority SAMA

In view of the ever-growing seriousness of cyber-attacks, we are conscious of the need to stay one-step ahead.The issuance of a Cyber Security Framework (“Framework”) seeks to support our regulated entities in their efforts to have an appropriate cyber security governance and to build a robust infrastructure along with the necessary detective and preventive controls. The Framework articulates appropriate controls
and provide guidance on how to assess maturity level.
The adoption and implementation of the Framework is a vital step for ensuring that Saudi Arabian Banking, Insurance and Financing Companies sectors can manage and withstand cyber security threats. In designing the Framework, we have considered the ways that our regulated entities are leveraging technology and felt that each entity will be able to adopt a common approach for addressing cybersecurity. This will ensure cyber security risks are properly managed throughout the sectors
