What is SAMA CSF ?
SAMA – The Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority, is the Central Bank of Saudi that regulates financial organizations in KSA. They issued certain guidelines for financial institutions to secure sensitive information assets and online services, called the SAMA Cyber Security Framework.
The purpose behind introducing this SAMA compliance regulation was to fortify the best practices followed by financial institutions and ensure that they followed the highest global security standards. This framework is comprehensive, and is a combination of several industry standards and government regulations across the world, including PCI DSS, NIST, Basel II, and ISO 27001/27002.
By implementing this SAMA Cybersecurity framework, organizations will be able to achieve a minimum level of security to safeguard against ever-increasing cyber security threats. The Saudi Central Bank has integrated the concepts of compliance and managing risk using science and technology to foster a cyber security culture with superior knowledge and awareness.
The Risk and Compliance Department of the bank has initiated several measures and controls to mitigate potential risks and continuously enhance the security culture, simultaneously improving compliance levels to bring them at par with international regulations. It is applicable to every financial institution that comes under the ambit of the Saudi Central Bank, and who are known as its member organizations.
Objectives and Scope of SAMA Compliance
The SAMA cybersecurity framework has been initiated to help SAMA regulated financial institutions to be equipped to deal with increasing cyber-security risks and protect sensitive information of their customers from falling into the wrong hands. The objectives are :Â
- To develop a consistent approach to address cybersecurity issues
- To attain a specific maturity level of cybersecurity controls
- To guarantee that cybersecurity risks are effectively managed – and these are for all member organizations.
The scope of the SAMA framework covers:
