# Your Compliance Ally: Endpoint Central for NCA Controls The National Cybersecurity Authority was established in 2017 to strengthen Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's cybersecurity. As the nation’s nodal agency, the NCA drives strategies, policies, controls, and frameworks to safeguard Saudi's cyberspace. Aligning with Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, which focuses on advancing security, economic growth, and citizen well-being, the NCA introduced **seven controls** to fortify the digital landscape: 1. Essential Cybersecurity Controls 2. Organizations' Social Media Accounts Cybersecurity Controls 3. Telework Cybersecurity Controls 4. Critical Systems Cybersecurity Controls 5. Operational Technology Cybersecurity Controls 6. Data Cybersecurity Controls 7. Cloud Cybersecurity Controls Rooted in best practices, these controls focus on **confidentiality, integrity, and availability** while addressing risks from internal and external threats. Built on four key pillars—**strategy, people, processes, and technology**—they ensure a resilient cybersecurity framework for the nation’s digital future. Through these initiatives, the NCA is shaping a secure cyberspace and driving the **Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030** transformation. All the businesses operating in Saudi Arabia will come under the regulatory ambit of National Cybersecurity Authority and will have to comply and adopt with relevant controls, policies and frameworks proposed by the regulator. ## 3 Ways Endpoint Central Simplifies NCA Controls ### Designed for both Compliance and cybersecurity Compliance and cybersecurity go hand in hand, and Endpoint Central brings them together seamlessly.
