What it requires

What NCA ECC actually requires.

These are the obligations a regulated entity owes — the things an assessor or supervisor will ask about.

01

114 main controls across 5 domains (Cybersecurity Governance / Defence / Resilience / Third-Party / Industrial Control).

02

Mandatory annual self-assessment and periodic NCA audits.

03

Incident reporting to NCA.

How Safeguard maps to it

Pre-mapped controls. Continuous evidence.

Each requirement above is bound to live telemetry — not screenshots. The mapping below is what your auditor or regulator sees.

ECC-2:2024 control crosswalk with live evidence.

Multi-regulator overlay for entities subject to ECC + OTCC + SAMA.

Evidence we produce

Artifacts your auditor accepts.

Each evidence artifact is signed and timestamped. Auditors can verify integrity without trusting Safeguard.
