SAMA Cyber Security Framework

To battle against the cyber threats, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA) established a Cyber Security Framework version 1.0 in May 2017. The newer version 2.0 has been published in July 2018. This framework guides SAMA regulated entities referred to as "Member Organizations" to ensure that appropriate cybersecurity governance is established and followed. The Member organizations consist of local and foreign banks, insurance companies, money exchangers and other financial organizations.
