Understanding SAMA Compliance

The Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (also known as SAMA) introduced a framework in 2017 for the comprehensive security of banking and finance institutions known as SAMA Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). It was an amalgamation of all the best cybersecurity practices across the globe such as OWASP, NIST, PCI DSS, ISO 270001, and GDPR. Due to the increased cybersecurity readiness among the institutions that complied with its framework, SAMA made it compulsory for all the organizations affiliated to comply with the framework to combat the most immediate and sophisticated vulnerabilities and threats
