Gap Analysis
We begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment against the CCC framework to understand where your current controls stand.
Aramco CCC Compliance
Meet the Cybersecurity Standards of a Global Industrial Leader.
What It Is and Why It’s Important
The Aramco Cybersecurity Compliance Certificate (CCC) is a critical requirement for vendors, contractors, and third parties working with Saudi Aramco. It is designed to ensure that all external entities interacting with Aramco’s systems and data maintain a high standard of cybersecurity. This framework covers various areas such as access control, network security, incident response, and data protection. Achieving CCC compliance is not just about passing a checklist—it’s about demonstrating a mature and secure operational posture in one of the world’s most security-conscious energy environments.
Common Mistakes or Gaps Organizations Make
Underestimating Complexity
Many companies assume CCC is a one-time certification, not realizing it involves continuous compliance and ongoing assessments.
Incomplete Documentation
Failure to produce the required policies, procedures, or evidence during assessments can lead to non-compliance.
Generic Security Practices
Not tailoring security measures to align specifically with Aramco’s cybersecurity controls and expectations.
Lack of Internal Awareness
Employees and vendors often aren't trained or aware of CCC-specific requirements, increasing the risk of accidental non-compliance.
Delayed Readiness Planning
Leaving compliance preparation to the last minute without a proper roadmap or expert guidance.
