CMA Cybersecurity Guidelines provide a strategic framework to protect financial institutions in Saudi Arabia against growing cyber threats. CyberArrow automates the implementation and ongoing management of the CMA cybersecurity controls.
Put cybersecurity on autopilot to reduce risk, avoid penalties, and build customer trust while aligning with national regulatory expectations.
The CMA (Capital Market Authority) Cybersecurity Guidelines are a set of non-certifiable requirements designed to improve the cybersecurity posture of financial institutions operating in Saudi Arabia. The guidelines include 4 main domains and 26 subdomains, covering governance, risk management, operational controls, and third-party cybersecurity.
Once all the requirements from the standard have been implemented the organization will remain ready for CMA audits.
