The Cyber Resilience Policy serves as a cornerstone document for organizations operating in Saudi Arabia, establishing comprehensive cybersecurity governance and risk management frameworks. This policy is essential for ensuring compliance with Saudi Arabia's evolving cybersecurity regulations, particularly the requirements set forth by the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) and the Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC). Organizations should implement this policy to demonstrate their commitment to protecting digital assets, maintaining operational resilience, and meeting regulatory obligations. The policy encompasses various aspects including risk assessment, incident response, business continuity, and data protection, while considering Saudi Arabia's specific regulatory and cultural context. It is particularly crucial for organizations handling sensitive data, operating critical infrastructure, or providing essential services within the kingdom.
