As the Kingdom expands its industrial base under Vision 2030, OT and ICS environments—across energy, petrochemicals, power, water, and mining—carry both enormous value and concentrated risk. Weaknesses in segmentation, remote access, identity, or unmanaged assets open pathways with real operational and national consequence. Saudi operators need a partner fluent in both the plant floor and the National Cybersecurity Authority’s controls.
Arista Cyber delivers engineering-led OT/ICS cybersecurity services aligned to the IEC 62443 framework and the NCA’s Operational Technology Cybersecurity Controls (OTCC), informed by NIST SP 800-82 and the Purdue Model. We prioritise controls by consequence to safety, availability, and production, and deliver implementation-ready, audit-defensible outputs that deploy safely in live environments.
From a single facility to a Kingdom-wide multi-site program, we act as your engineering-led OT security advisor. New to the discipline? Begin with our complete guide to OT security.
A complete OT and ICS security lifecycle, from assessment to sustained operations, aligned to IEC 62443, the Purdue Model, and NIST SP 800-82, and delivered by engineers who work safely in live industrial environments.
Establish a defensible understanding of OT assets, communications, and risk exposure that directly impact safety, reliability, and production continuity.
Translate assessment findings into an OT-aligned architecture that supports operations, maintenance, and safety objectives.
Sustain security performance through continuous visibility, response readiness, and disciplined recovery.
Embed cybersecurity into daily operations through role-based capability and shared accountability.
Saudi OT security is defined by the National Cybersecurity Authority’s controls and, for the energy supply chain, by Aramco’s cybersecurity standard, all mapping closely to IEC 62443. We align your program to the controls that govern your operation. For the framework foundation, see our guide to IEC 62443.
The National Cybersecurity Authority’s Operational Technology Cybersecurity Controls are the Kingdom’s dedicated OT baseline. We assess against OTCC and build the architecture, controls, and evidence to meet it.
The Essential Cybersecurity Controls and Critical Systems Cybersecurity Controls set organisation-wide and critical-systems requirements. We align OT programs so they satisfy these alongside OTCC.
Saudi Aramco’s Third Party Cybersecurity Standard (SACS-002) governs suppliers and contractors connecting to or serving Aramco. We help vendors and operators meet its requirements.
IEC 62443 structures our program design and maps closely to NCA controls, giving Kingdom operators a globally recognised backbone as they scale industrial capacity under Vision 2030.
We are an engineering-led OT security company with an implementation mindset, not a generalist IT firm applying IT playbooks to a plant floor. That difference shows up in every engagement.
We start with structured diagnostics using IEC 62443 and risk-based methods to establish an accurate view of exposure, asset criticality, trusted pathways, and the most likely routes to loss of control or view.
Our recommendations account for legacy platforms, vendor limitations, strict change windows, and safety requirements. Solutions are enforceable in the field, not just documented in a report.
We align OT, IT, engineering, and leadership around clear decision rights and role-based responsibilities, reducing execution friction and supporting resilience beyond a single project.
We support single-site improvements and multi-site programs with consistent standards alignment, while respecting the local operational realities of each site.
We secure the OT and ICS environments where a cyber event becomes an operational one, loss of availability, safety exposure, or regulatory impact.
We are engineering-led and structure programs directly around the NCA’s OTCC and IEC 62443, while designing for the legacy platforms, safety constraints, and change windows of real plants. We serve energy, petrochemical, power, water, and mining operators across the Kingdom, and their supplier ecosystems.
Yes. We assess OT environments against the NCA’s Operational Technology Cybersecurity Controls (OTCC-1:2022) and align them with the Essential and Critical Systems Cybersecurity Controls (ECC and CCC), then build the architecture, controls, and evidence needed to meet them.
Yes. We help vendors, contractors, and operators connecting to or serving Saudi Aramco meet the Third Party Cybersecurity Standard (SACS-002), translating its requirements into concrete OT controls and demonstrable evidence.
IEC 62443 for program and zone/conduit design, NIST SP 800-82 for ICS guidance, and the Purdue Model for segmentation, mapped to NCA OTCC, ECC, and CCC, and to Aramco SACS-002 where the energy supply chain is involved.
Yes. We use passive monitoring methods and carefully selected monitoring points so visibility improves without introducing instability into control systems, essential for the high-availability, high-consequence environments across the Kingdom’s critical industries.
