Overview
The Data Cybersecurity Controls (DCC-1:2022) were developed by the Saudi National Cybersecurity Authority after analyzing national and international cybersecurity frameworks, related laws, and best practices. These controls aim to mitigate cybersecurity risks, threats, and incidents by setting baseline requirements for safeguarding data in every stage of its lifecycle. The DCC serves as an extension to the Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC), and includes objectives, scope, compliance and monitoring details. It is designed to raise cybersecurity maturity across organizations in Saudi Arabia.
