The SACS-002 third-party cybersecurity standard sets forth the minimum cybersecurity requirements for companies working with Saudi Aramco. It is designed to protect Aramco from cyberthreats and strengthen the security posture of those partner companies.
The identification component consists of four parts:
• Asset Management – catalog and classify digital assets
• Governance – establish cybersecurity policies, standards, and staffing
• Risk Assessment – conduct penetration testing for IT infrastructure and websites
• Risk Management Strategy – identify, access, and remediate risks to data and information systems
Detection consists of two parts:
• Anomalies and Events – describe how technology assets and systems are monitored for unauthorized access or activity
• Continuous Monitoring – include physical security measures, account monitoring, vulnerability scans, and use of non-authorized devices
Protection consists of four parts:
• Access Control – include issuing passwords and security badges, establish visitor management processes, and define other access to restricted systems and facilities
• Data Security – describe how to secure systems, data, documents, and applications
• Information Protection Processes and Procedures – include disaster recovery and business continuity plans
• Protective Technology – describe how key systems and technologies should be protected, including the use of intrusion detection systems (IDS)
Response consists of three parts:
• Communications – include an incident management policy and plan
• Analysis – describe the incident response capability and tracking of all cybersecurity incidents
• Mitigation – describe how vulnerabilities should be resolved or mitigated
