Saudi ARAMCO CCC ( Cybersecurity Compliance Certificate) Services

Saudi Aramco, the world’s largest integrated oil and gas company, manages enormous volumes of highly sensitive data every day. To minimize Cyber risks, Saudi Aramco requires all vendors, contractors, and business partners to comply with strict cybersecurity protocols through the ARAMCO CCC (Cybersecurity Compliance Certification), ensuring that every third-party organization meets the company’s rigorous security standards.

The ARAMCO CCC focuses on evaluating and validating the cybersecurity posture of third-party vendors. It ensures that all partners implement proper governance, risk management, technical safeguards, and incident response processes to protect sensitive information and critical infrastructure. Achieving the CCC demonstrates that a business is fully compliant with Saudi Aramco’s cybersecurity requirements, enabling them to participate confidently in Aramco projects while maintaining the integrity and security of the extended supply chain.

If your organization wants to work with Saudi Aramco or its ecosystem, Cybersecurity Compliance Certification (CCC) is not optional.
 It’s a gatekeeper requirement. Nour Solution helps organizations achieve ARAMCO CCC compliance through a structured, audit-ready, and risk-driven approach; so you pass the audit the first time.

Why ARAMCO CCC Compliance Is Important for Your Business

Saudi ARAMCO operates under one of the strictest cybersecurity governance frameworks in the world. Vendors and third parties are expected to meet Third-Party Cybersecurity Standard (TPCS) requirements without compromise. Failing CCC compliance can lead to:

  • Vendor onboarding rejection
  • Contract delays or cancellation
  • Audit failures
  • Improves Vendor Credibility
  • Loss of trust and long-term business damage

Core Requirements of ARAMCO CCC (SACS-002)

The SACS-002 standard sets out a series of critical requirements that vendors must fulfill to achieve ARAMCO CCC  (Cybersecurity Compliance Certification). Compliance ensures that third-party vendors maintain robust cybersecurity measures and do not introduce risks into Saudi Aramco’s operations.

1. Assessment of ICT Infrastructure:

Vendors must begin with a comprehensive assessment of their Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure. This involves identifying all systems, networks, and assets that could be vulnerable to cyber threats. The assessment must uncover potential weaknesses or security gaps that could be exploited by malicious actors.

2. Identifying Security Gaps:

After the initial assessment, vendors are required to pinpoint specific security gaps within their infrastructure. These may include outdated software, unpatched systems, weak authentication protocols, or insufficient encryption measures. A thorough and detailed identification process is critical to ensure no vulnerability is overlooked.

3. Implementation of Best Practices:

Once security gaps are identified, vendors must implement corrective actions in line with industry best practices and the guidelines of SACS-002. This may involve upgrading systems, enhancing encryption, implementing multi-factor authentication, and adopting other necessary cybersecurity measures to strengthen defenses.

4. Documentation and Reporting:

Vendors must compile a detailed compliance report demonstrating the steps taken to meet SACS-002 requirements. This documentation should include system logs, audit reports, evidence of security improvements, and other relevant records. The goal is to provide Saudi Aramco with a clear and verifiable view of the vendor’s cybersecurity posture.

5. Certification Process:

After compliance report submission, Saudi Aramco third party auditors review controls, request evidence, and conduct audits to confirm SACS-002 compliance. Once approved, the CCC certificate is issued, mandatory for vendors, proving strong cybersecurity controls and protecting Saudi Aramco supply chain integrity globally.

6. Certification Process:

Maintaining CCC compliance is critical for existing Saudi Aramco vendors, as noncompliance risks contract termination and lost opportunities. For new vendors, CCC certification is mandatory. Through SACS-002 enforcement, Saudi Aramco secures its supply chain, strengthens resilience, and protects critical data and infrastructure.

Our ARAMCO CCC Compliance Approach

Comprehensive ARAMCO CCC services that protect you from cyber risks and certification failure. We follow a step-by-step, risk-based methodology aligned with Saudi Aramco’s TPCS framework and audit expectations.

Aramco ccc compliance approach

Step 1: Readiness Assessment

We begin with a deep-dive gap assessment against ARAMCO CCC and TPCS controls. This evaluation provides a clear, honest readiness report—no sugarcoating. What we evaluate:

  • Cybersecurity governance & leadership
  • Policies, procedures, and documentation
  • Network, system, and endpoint security
  • Identity & access management
  • Incident response capability
  • Third-party risk handling

Step 2: Compliance Strategy

Based on identified gaps, we design a custom CCC compliance strategy tailored to your business size, contract scope with Aramco, IT environment, and risk exposure. This ensures no over-engineering and no under-compliance. Key focus areas:

  • Your business size
  • Your contract scope with Aramco
  • Your IT environment
  • Your risk exposure

Step 3: Risk Analysis

Saudi Aramco expects vendors to understand their risks—not guess them. We conduct a formal cyber risk assessment to document, justify, and trace every risk. This includes threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, risk scoring, and business impact assessment. Assessment includes:

  • Threat modeling
  • Vulnerability analysis
  • Risk scoring (impact × likelihood)
  • Business impact assessment

Step 4: Risk Treatment

Identified risks are converted into a documented Risk Treatment Plan, clearly showing mitigation decisions, control implementation steps, responsible owners, and target timelines. Auditors look for this, and we make sure it’s solid. Treatment plan covers:

  • Risk mitigation decisions
  • Control implementation steps
  • Responsible owners
  • Target timelines

Step 5: Policy Framework

Policies are the foundation of certification. We develop and align all required cybersecurity policies, making them TPCS-aligned, audit-ready, and practical for daily operations and business teams. Policies include:

  • Information Security Policy
  • Access Control & IAM
  • Incident Response & Reporting
  • Data Protection & Classification
  • Backup, DR & Business Continuity
  • Third-Party Security Policy

Step 6: Control Implementation

If technical gaps exist, we guide or assist with security control implementation. Our focus is on what Aramco expects, avoiding unnecessary tool overload while ensuring full compliance. Technical controls include:

  • Firewalls & network segmentation
  • Endpoint protection & EDR
  • Log monitoring & SIEM
  • Vulnerability scanning
  • Secure access controls

Step 7: Internal Audit

Before the official audit, we conduct a mock internal audit to validate documentation, identify weak controls, prepare teams, and reduce the risk of non-conformities. This step alone saves weeks of rework. Audit activities include:

  • Validate documentation & evidence
  • Identify weak controls early
  • Prepare teams for auditor questions
  • Reduce risk of non-conformities

Step 8: Training & Audit Support

Human error is a top risk factor in CCC audits. We provide targeted security awareness training covering key risks, and also perform final compliance validation to ensure smooth certification with zero surprises. Training & support covers:

  • Phishing & social engineering
  • Secure password practices
  • Incident escalation procedures
  • Data handling responsibilities
  • External audit coordination
  • Evidence submission
  • Certification review
  • Post-audit actions

1. What are the key requirements of the Aramco Cybersecurity Standard?

ARAMCO requires compliance with the Third-Party Cybersecurity Standard (TPCS) covering governance, risk management, technical security controls, incident response, and vendor security.

2. How long does it take to achieve ARAMCO CCC certification?

The timeline depends on your current cybersecurity maturity and the scope of Aramco requirements.
For most organizations:
● 1–2 weeks if basic controls and documentation already exist
● 4–6 weeks for organizations starting from scratch or requiring CCC+
Working with an experienced ARAMCO CCC consulting partner significantly reduces delays, rework, and audit failures.

3. Does ARAMCO CCC certification require specific cybersecurity tools or vendors?

Saudi Aramco does not mandate specific tools or brands. What matters is that your security controls meet TPCS requirements and are effectively implemented.
Auditors focus on:
● Control effectiveness
● Proper configuration
● Documented processes
● Evidence of monitoring and response
The right approach is fit-for-purpose security, not expensive or unnecessary tools.

4. When should ARAMCO CCC certification be renewed?

To ensure continuous compliance, please note that the Aramco CCC requires renewal every two years. You must submit a new application before your current certificate expires.

5. How is the CCC certificate submitted to Aramco?

Once issued by the approved audit firm, the certificate is submitted through Saudi Aramco’s vendor or compliance portal. We assist throughout the submission process.

6. Do we need a new CCC for every Aramco contract?

Not always. If your CCC is valid and scope-appropriate, it can be reused. However, scope changes may require reassessment.
