NCA OSMACC Social Media Account Controls

Your official social media accounts speak for your organization. We assess and harden them against the National Cybersecurity Authority's Organizations' Social Media Accounts Cybersecurity Controls, so a stolen password never becomes a public crisis.

What the NCA OSMACC Is

The Organizations' Social Media Accounts Cybersecurity Controls (OSMACC) set the requirements for protecting the official accounts that organizations run on social media platforms. A hijacked account can publish false statements, scam followers and damage trust within minutes.

The controls cover who owns and manages each account, how access is granted and removed, strong authentication, the devices and tools used to post, monitoring for misuse, and how to respond when an account is compromised.

Who Needs This

  • Organizations with official accounts on X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok or other platforms.
  • Marketing and communications teams sharing account access across staff and agencies.
  • Entities that have had, or narrowly avoided, an account takeover.
  • Organizations within the scope of NCA controls that run official social media accounts.

Our Methodology

Every engagement follows the Cyber Shields rhythm: Assess, Protect, Monitor. For this engagement, that translates into the following steps.

  1. Account inventory. Under a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement, we list every official account, its owner, the people and agencies with access, and how they log in.
  2. Gap assessment against the OSMACC. Each applicable control is rated, with evidence recorded against the control.
  3. Account hardening. We guide your team through strong authentication, recovery settings, access clean-up and third-party app review on each platform.
  4. Response plan. A short, practical playbook for a compromised account: who does what, and how to recover it.
  5. Team briefing. A focused session for the people who post, covering phishing and account safety, in Arabic and English.

What You Receive

  • Inventory of official accounts, owners and access.
  • Control-by-control assessment mapped to the OSMACC.
  • Hardening checklist per platform, completed with your team.
  • Account compromise response playbook.
  • Team briefing, in Arabic and English.

Engagement & Investment

Every engagement is scoped individually. Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your environment, the systems or controls in scope, and the timeline you need to work to. Rather than publish figures that rarely fit a specific situation, we prepare a written proposal with a clear fee and schedule once your scope is understood.

Tell us about your organization and the deadline you are working toward, and we will return a tailored proposal within five business days, following a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need our passwords?

No. Your team keeps control of the accounts. We guide them through the settings and verify the result together.

What if an agency manages our accounts?

We include agency access in the inventory and set rules for how it is granted, monitored and removed.

How quickly can accounts be hardened?

The highest-risk settings, such as strong authentication and access clean-up, can usually be done in the first sessions.

Will the report be available in Arabic?

Yes. Reports, the executive summary, and the readout session are available in both Arabic and English at no additional cost.
