No: 381000091275 Date(g): 24/5/2017 | Date(h): 28/8/1438 Status: In-Force

The Framework is structured around four main domains, namely:

For each domain, several subdomains are defined. A subdomain focusses on a specific cyber security topic. Per subdomain, the Framework states a principle, objective and control considerations.

  • A principle summarizes the main set of required cyber security controls related to the subdomain.
  • The objective describes the purpose of the principle and what the set of required cyber security controls are expected to achieve.
  • The control considerations reflects the mandated cyber security controls that should be considered.

Control considerations have been uniquely numbered throughout the Framework. Where applicable, a control consideration can consist of up to 4 levels.

The control considerations are numbered according to the following numbering system:
