Harmonised Control Library

Harmonised Control Library.

Organisations in the Middle East must comply with multiple cyber security and risk- related standards. Managing these varied and overlapping requirements can be time-consuming and complex. At CRMG, we have simplified the challenges businesses face in the Middle East by offering our innovative Harmonised Control Library – a comprehensive solution designed to consolidate and streamline compliance across multiple regulatory frameworks.

A Single, Unified Framework for Compliance

CRMG’s Harmonised Control Library integrates controls from multiple Middle Eastern regulatory standards into a single, structured framework. Our approach allows organisations to manage compliance efficiently while reducing duplication and inefficiencies. Tailored to specific client requirements where necessary, key frameworks we are able to include in our harmonised control framework include:

National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA): Ensuring alignment with Saudi Arabia’s national cybersecurity mandates. Including NCA-ECC, NCA-CCC, NCA-CSCC, NCA-DCC, NCA-OTCC, NCA-TCC, NCA-OSMACC.

Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA): Meeting the stringent financial sector cybersecurity requirements.

UAE Information Assurance Standards (UAE IAS): Complying with national security and cyber resilience guidelines.

Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC) Regulations: Aligning with Dubai’s cybersecurity strategy.

ISO Frameworks: International best practices for robust security governance. This includes ISO 27001 and ISO 22301.

Our Approach

At CRMG, we recognise that cyber security compliance in the Middle East is complex, with organisations needing to navigate multiple regulatory frameworks such as NCA, SAMA, ISO, DESC and UAE IAS. Our Harmonised Control solution simplifies this challenge by streamlining security controls into a structured, easy-to-manage framework. Our approach follows a structured methodology – Orchestrate, Clarify, Harmonise, Tag – ensuring that cyber security controls are tailored, seamlessly integrated, and effectively managed.

Aligning Security with Business Needs

We begin by working closely with your organisation to understand its specific risk landscape, compliance obligations, and operational priorities. By mapping these requirements to your existing security framework, we ensure a business-aligned, risk-driven approach to compliance. Our team brings global expertise with local precision, ensuring regulatory alignment without unnecessary complexity.

Customising Controls for Precision & Compliance

Security frameworks can often feel complex and fragmented. Our role is to simplify and refine this process by tailoring security controls to fit seamlessly within your organisation’s existing operations. Whether it’s aligning with NCA’s Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC), SAMA regulations, or ISO frameworks, we ensure that every control is clearly defined, practical, and fit for purpose.

Seamless Integration into Your Preferred Platform

Once the controls are structured, we ensure seamless integration with your GRC or cyber security management platform of choice. Whether your organisation already uses a platform or is looking for guidance in selecting one, we ensure that security controls are embedded efficiently, enhancing operational resilience while maintaining compliance.

A Structured, Domain-Based Control Library

To ensure ongoing visibility, management, and scalability, we categorise each control using a structured tagging system. Controls are grouped by domain, risk category, and regulatory alignment, creating a harmonised control library that enables efficient tracking, reporting, and adaptation to new compliance requirements. This structured approach makes it easy for organisations to navigate security obligations, identify gaps, and demonstrate compliance with confidence.
