Protect Your Vendor Status. Meet Aramco's Cybersecurity Standard.
Saudi Aramco Cybersecurity Compliance Certification (CCC & CCC+): Get Audit-Ready with Arselor
If your organization works with Saudi Aramco — or intends to — cybersecurity compliance is no longer optional. The Cybersecurity Compliance Certification (CCC) program is a mandatory requirement for all vendors and third parties in Aramco's supply chain. Failing to meet this requirement can directly affect your supplier status and your ability to operate as an approved Aramco vendor. Arselor helps Saudi businesses navigate this process with structure, technical depth, and practical implementation support — from initial gap assessment through to documentation readiness and audit preparation.

What Is the Saudi Aramco CCC Program?
Saudi Aramco's Cybersecurity Compliance Certification is governed by the Third Party Cybersecurity Standard (SACS-002). It defines the security controls that all vendors must demonstrate compliance with before being approved — or remaining approved — as Aramco suppliers. Certification is valid for two years. The program has two tracks:
- CCC — Remote Self-Assessment. Applicable to vendors in standard supplier classifications. CCC involves a self-assessment process verified remotely by an authorized audit firm. Vendors must document, demonstrate, and substantiate their compliance posture against the relevant controls.
- CCC+ — On-Site Assessment. Applicable to higher-risk classifications — such as vendors with Network Connectivity access or those designated as Critical Data Processors. CCC+ requires a formal on-site audit conducted by an authorized audit firm, with more rigorous control requirements and substantially higher evidence standards.
- Understanding which track applies to your organization is the first critical step — and getting it wrong wastes time, resources, and credibility.
Why Compliance Readiness Matters More Than the Certificate
Many vendors underestimate the complexity of this process. Certification is not a form — it requires:
- Verified implementation of security controls across your IT environment
- Complete, structured, and auditable documentation
- Policies that are actively enforced — not just written
- The ability to respond confidently to assessor questions, whether remotely or in person
Who This Service Is For
How Arselor Delivers
1.Gap Assessment
We conduct a structured review of your current cybersecurity posture against the SACS-002 controls relevant to your classification. The output is a clear, prioritized gap report that identifies exactly what needs to be addressed — and in what order.
2.Remediation Planning
Following the gap assessment, we develop a practical remediation roadmap. Controls are prioritized by risk, complexity, and audit timelines so your team can work systematically rather than reactively.
3.Security Control Implementation Support
Where gaps require technical implementation — access controls, network segmentation, endpoint protection, logging and monitoring — our team provides hands-on guidance and support.
4.Policy and Documentation Development
We help develop, refine, or restructure the cybersecurity policies, procedures, and records that assessors expect to see. Good documentation signals organizational maturity — not just compliance intent.
5.Audit Preparation
Before the formal assessment, we conduct internal readiness reviews to validate your evidence package, identify remaining weaknesses, and prepare your team to engage assessors confidently.
6.Ongoing Compliance Support
Certification is a point in time. We continue supporting your controls environment to maintain alignment through future renewals and evolving Aramco requirements.
