NCA TCC Telework Cybersecurity Controls

Make remote and hybrid work secure by design. We assess your remote access, devices, data handling and people practices against the National Cybersecurity Authority's Telework Cybersecurity Controls.

What the NCA TCC Is

The Telework Cybersecurity Controls (TCC) extend the Essential Cybersecurity Controls to working remotely. They set the minimum requirements for organizations that allow staff to work from outside the office, so that remote access does not become the easiest way in for an attacker.

The controls cover the whole telework chain: governance and policy, the security of remote access and the devices used, protection of data outside the office, monitoring, and the awareness of the people working remotely.

Who Needs This

  • Organizations with remote or hybrid staff.
  • Entities that give contractors or suppliers remote access to internal systems.
  • Teams that expanded remote access quickly and now need to bring it under control.
  • Organizations preparing for an NCA assessment that covers telework.

Our Methodology

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

  1. Scope and remote access inventory. Under a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement, we map every remote access path, user group and device type in scope.
  2. Gap assessment against the TCC. Each applicable control is rated for implementation status, with evidence recorded against the control.
  3. Configuration review. We review the key settings of VPN, identity, endpoint and collaboration tools behind remote work.
  4. Remediation roadmap. A sequenced plan with owners, timelines and acceptance criteria.
  5. Policy and awareness. We update the telework policy and brief staff on safe remote working, in Arabic and English.
  6. Re-assessment. We confirm closed gaps.

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 the TCC apply to us?

They apply to organizations within the scope of the NCA controls that allow telework. Others often adopt them as good practice. We confirm your position during scoping.

Will you test our VPN and remote access?

Yes. The configuration review covers remote access, identity and endpoint settings, and we can add targeted testing in scope.

Does this cover contractors?

Yes. Third-party remote access is one of the highest risks, and we include it in the assessment.

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.
