SAMA CSF
إطار الأمن السيبراني للبنك المركزي السعودي

Definition

A comprehensive regulatory framework issued by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) that establishes mandatory cybersecurity controls and requirements for all financial institutions operating in Saudi Arabia. The framework addresses governance, risk management, technical controls, incident response, and third-party risk management, aligned with international standards while reflecting Saudi Arabia's regulatory environment and Vision 2030 digital transformation objectives.
