NCA OTCC — OT/ICS Cybersecurity Controls Readiness — Saudi Arabia

SKYLINE delivers nca otcc — ot/ics cybersecurity controls readiness across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, NEOM, and every major Saudi city — by a Saudi engineering team, with Arabic-native software, local support, and on-premise or cloud deployment.

The National Cybersecurity Authority's Operational Technology Cybersecurity Controls (OTCC-1:2022) set the minimum cybersecurity requirements to protect Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and operational technology across the Kingdom — the systems that run plants, utilities, pipelines and facilities. The framework spans 4 main domains, 23 subdomains and over 100 controls, and it applies to organizations operating critical OT in sectors such as oil & gas, power, water and manufacturing. Skyline brings IT and industrial-systems engineering together to help operators in the Eastern Province, Jubail, Yanbu, Riyadh and beyond become OTCC-ready.

OT security is not IT security copied onto a plant floor — uptime, safety and legacy equipment change the rules. Our engineers begin with a passive OT asset inventory and network visibility, map your environment against the Purdue model, and run a gap assessment against OTCC. We then design and deploy practical controls: IT/OT segmentation and industrial DMZs, OT-aware firewalls and intrusion detection, hardened secure remote access, controlled patch and change management, OT-specific incident response, and resilient backup — coordinated with your OEMs and aligned, where useful, to IEC 62443.

  • Passive OT asset discovery, inventory and network visibility
  • OTCC gap assessment and prioritized remediation roadmap
  • IT/OT segmentation, industrial DMZ and secure remote access
  • OT intrusion detection, monitoring and incident response
  • Patch, change and backup practices suited to live plants

Skyline is a vendor-neutral Saudi integrator that respects the realities of running production OT. We do not claim to be an NCA-accredited auditor or to certify you — we deliver the assessment, engineering and managed support that make your OT environment defensible and OTCC-ready. Work is planned around maintenance windows to protect availability and safety.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about NCA OTCC — OT/ICS Cybersecurity Controls Readiness — Saudi Arabia

Who needs to comply with NCA OTCC?
OTCC targets organizations that operate Industrial Control Systems and operational technology, particularly critical-infrastructure operators in oil & gas, power, water, transport and manufacturing. If your plant or facility runs SCADA, PLCs, DCS or similar systems, OTCC very likely applies.
How is OT cybersecurity different from IT cybersecurity?
OT prioritizes availability and safety over confidentiality, often runs legacy and unpatchable equipment, and cannot tolerate intrusive scanning that might disrupt production. We use passive discovery, work within maintenance windows, and design controls that protect uptime rather than threaten it.
Will an OT assessment disrupt our production?
No — that is precisely what we plan to avoid. We begin with passive, non-intrusive asset discovery and traffic analysis, and any active testing or control deployment is scheduled into agreed maintenance windows and coordinated with operations and OEMs.
Does OTCC relate to IEC 62443?
OTCC is aligned with internationally recognized practices and overlaps significantly with IEC 62443, the leading industrial-automation security standard. We map our work to both, so meeting OTCC also moves you toward IEC 62443 maturity.
Does Skyline certify our OTCC compliance?
No. OTCC is enforced by the NCA, not a certification scheme, and we are not an NCA-accredited auditor. Skyline delivers OTCC readiness assessments, control engineering and managed support so you can demonstrate compliance to the regulator.
What affects the cost of an OTCC project?
Key drivers are the number of sites and OT zones, the size and age of the asset base, current segmentation and visibility, the depth of remediation needed, and whether you add ongoing OT monitoring. We scope each plant individually and price transparently.
