Alignment Guide for the Saudi Cybersecurity Workforce Framework «SCyWF»
Introduction
The Saudi Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (SCyWF) categorizes cybersecurity work in Saudi
Arabia, defines the job roles within each category and sets the requirements for each job role in terms
of tasks, knowledge, skills and abilities (TKSAs).
Organizations are recommended to adopt and use this framework so they can align their cybersecurity
workforce structures and activities with the national frameworks and guidelines. However, they can
customize the framework to address their requirements.
The required cybersecurity job roles are determined according to the organization needs to satisfy its
cybersecurity requirements and that depends on the organization’s size and business nature.
The job roles specified in this framework have been included in the Saudi Standard Classification of
Occupations which was approved by the Cabinet Resolution No. (660), dated 10/24/1441 AH.
