Frequently Asked Questions
What is SACS-210 and who does it apply to?
SACS-210 is Saudi Aramco's new Third Party Cybersecurity Standard (succeeding SACS-002). It applies to every contractor, supplier, subcontractor, and service provider that connects to Aramco networks, manages Aramco infrastructure, processes Aramco data, or hosts it in the cloud. Critical date: 26 August 2026 grace period expiry.
What is the difference between CCC and CCC+?
CCC = self-assessment validated remotely by an Aramco Authorized Audit Firm (AAF). Suitable for low-risk contractors with limited Aramco data access. CCC+ = full on-site audit at contractor premises by an AAF, required for high-risk contractors (broad network access, sensitive data processing, cloud hosting). Aramco determines required level based on contract scope.
How long does SACS-210 certification take?
At SKYLINE, typical timeline is 12 weeks for CCC+ (more demanding) and 8 weeks for CCC. Starts with a 5-day gap analysis, followed by control implementation, evidence packaging, and audit. We recommend engaging at least 4 months before your Aramco contract renewal date to avoid tender ineligibility.
How much does SACS-210 readiness cost?
Cost varies by scope and organization size. Basic CCC engagement for small firms starts from SAR 85,000. CCC+ engagement for a mid-size EPC typically ranges from SAR 350,000 to SAR 650,000 including Fortinet, EDR, and SIEM licences. We provide a free scoping consultation and fixed-price quote after scope definition. Reality check: losing a SAR 20M+ Aramco contract = no comparison.
Does SACS-210 cover one segment or multiple?
Most contractors fall under multiple segments simultaneously. Example: an EPC contractor with VPN to Aramco + processes sensitive drawings + uses shared SaaS = falls under 3 segments (Network Connectivity + Critical Data Processing + Cloud Services). Contractor must comply with requirements of every applicable segment. Our initial assessment accurately identifies all applicable segments upfront.
What if I fail to certify before 26 August 2026?
After the grace period expires, existing Aramco contracts will not renew and new tenders will exclude any contractor without a valid certificate. Aramco is explicit: no certificate = no contract. Potential losses include: existing contract non-renewal, tender disqualification, reputation damage, competitive loss to certified contractors. Start today to guarantee certification before the deadline.
Are you Aramco-approved to deliver SACS-210 services?
SKYLINE is an Aramco-approved contractor (vendor number available on request) and a Fortinet Expert-level partner. We do not act as the Authorized Audit Firm (AAF) — that would be a conflict of interest. We deliver readiness services and then hand you to an independent AAF (we have working relationships with 5 AAFs). This separation preserves audit integrity and is accepted by all our clients.
Do your services cover contractors in Riyadh and Jeddah in addition to Dammam?
Yes. HQ in Dammam, regional office in Riyadh, and field coverage for Jeddah. The Riyadh team serves Aramco contractors managing contracts from the capital and provides NCA / SAMA coverage for multi-sector clients. The Jeddah team focuses on Red Sea, Yanbu, and Rabigh contractors. On-site response within 24 hours to any location in the Kingdom.
