OT / ICS Security & NCA OTCC Compliance — Saudi Arabia

SKYLINE delivers ot / ics security & nca otcc compliance 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.

Industrial plants in Saudi Arabia — energy, water, manufacturing, utilities — were built for uptime and safety, not for internet-era threats. As IT and OT converge, a single compromised engineering workstation can reach a SCADA controller. Skyline secures operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) in line with the National Cybersecurity Authority's Operational Technology Cybersecurity Controls (OTCC-1:2022).

The NCA OTCC framework sets minimum requirements across strategy, people, process and technology — spanning four main domains and dozens of controls — for entities that own or operate critical national infrastructure. We help you meet them practically: starting with passive OT asset discovery (because active scanning can disrupt fragile process networks), then mapping your environment to a Purdue-model architecture, segmenting IT from OT, and locking down the remote-access pathways attackers love.

  • OTCC readiness — gap assessment against OTCC-1:2022 with a prioritised, plant-safe remediation roadmap.
  • Asset visibility — passive discovery and inventory of PLCs, RTUs, HMIs and DCS without disturbing operations.
  • Segmentation & architecture — Purdue zone-and-conduit design, industrial firewalls, and secured IT/OT boundaries.
  • Secure remote access — role-based, MFA-protected, logged and justified access in line with OTCC expectations.
  • Monitoring & response — OT-aware threat detection and an incident playbook that respects safety and process continuity.

Crucially, we treat OT differently from IT — safety and availability come first, change is controlled, and nothing is scanned or patched without process-engineering sign-off. Delivered for plants and facilities across Riyadh, the Eastern Province, Jubail, Yanbu and the wider Kingdom, vendor-neutral and aligned with OTCC and IEC 62443 good practice.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about OT / ICS Security & NCA OTCC Compliance — Saudi Arabia

What is NCA OTCC and does it apply to us?
OTCC-1:2022 is the National Cybersecurity Authority's set of Operational Technology Cybersecurity Controls. It applies to public and private entities that own, operate or manage critical national infrastructure and OT/ICS environments in sectors such as energy, water, manufacturing and transport. We assess whether and how it applies to your facility.
Won't security scanning crash our production line or SCADA?
That's exactly why OT requires a different approach. We start with passive, traffic-based discovery that never sends probes to controllers, and any active testing or patching happens only in maintenance windows with process-engineering approval. Safety and availability come before everything else.
How do you separate our IT and OT networks safely?
We design to a Purdue-model architecture with defined zones and conduits, deploy industrial firewalls at the IT/OT boundary, and tightly control any data or remote access crossing it — using role-based, MFA-protected, fully logged pathways as OTCC requires, without breaking legitimate process flows.
Can you handle legacy PLCs and equipment we can't patch?
Yes. Legacy and unpatchable devices are a reality in Saudi plants. Where patching isn't possible, we protect them with compensating controls — segmentation, virtual patching at the network layer, strict access control and monitoring — so risk is managed without forcing risky upgrades.
Are you tied to one OT security vendor?
No. We are vendor-neutral and select OT-aware monitoring, industrial firewalls and remote-access tools that fit your existing automation stack and budget, and we work with your OEMs and integrators rather than ripping out what already runs your plant.
