Why Aramco CCC renewal needs early planning
Your Cybersecurity Compliance Certificate is valid for two years from the issue date. Aramco requires you to renew before it expires, and the SACS-210 standard repeats this as a control of its own (TPC1.6). An expired certificate can hold up new bids, purchase orders and supplier registration with Aramco Group companies.
Aramco CCC renewal is not just paperwork. Two years is a long time in IT. Staff change, laptops are replaced, firewall subscriptions lapse and policies go out of date. And the standard itself has changed: Aramco's CCC page now names SACS-210 (2026), so controls that passed under SACS-002 need to be checked again.
- Certificate valid for 2 years from issue
- Renewal must happen before expiry
- New classification means extra controls must be assessed
- Renewals are now prepared against SACS-210
The renewal rules Aramco publishes
Aramco's programme page states that the CCC is valid for two years and must be renewed before the end of that period. The certificate is accepted by Aramco, SABIC and other Aramco Group companies.
If you win a new contract in the same classification, you do not need a new certificate, as long as your classification has not changed. If the new work falls in a different classification, for example Cloud Computing or Operational Technology, the Authorized Audit Firm must assess the controls for that classification as well as the original one. Aramco has not published a transition period for moving from SACS-002 to SACS-210, so plan your renewal on the current standard.
CCC validity is 2 years; renew before expiry, now against SACS-210 (2026).
How Waves handles your CCC renewal
Check your dates and scope
We confirm your expiry date, current classification and any new contracts that could add a classification.
SACS-210 delta check
We compare what you passed last time with the SACS-210 controls and list what has changed or slipped.
Refresh the controls
We renew lapsed subscriptions, fix configuration drift, update policies and run the yearly awareness training.
Fresh evidence
Auditors want recent, time-stamped evidence. We collect new screenshots, logs and records, not last cycle's.
Audit and submission
You raise the request with an Authorized Audit Firm on the CCC Portal. We support the review, and you upload the new certificate to Aramco's e-Marketplace.

Frequently asked questions
When should we start our CCC renewal?
We recommend starting two to three months before expiry. That leaves time to fix gaps, gather fresh evidence and fit the audit firm's schedule. Our typical timeline is 3–5 weeks, but starting early removes the pressure.
Our first CCC was under SACS-002. What changes at renewal?
Aramco's CCC page now uses SACS-210, which has a larger, renumbered control set: 33 general and 116 specific controls. We map what you passed before to the new controls and close the differences.
What happens if our certificate expires?
Aramco requires renewal before the two-year period ends. Without a valid certificate you may face delays with bids or supplier registration. If yours has already expired, contact us and we will prioritise your case.
Do we need a new certificate for a new contract?
Not if the new contract is in the same classification and your classification has not changed. If the work falls in a new classification, the audit firm must also assess the controls for that classification.
Can we use a different audit firm for the renewal?
Aramco lists 11 Authorized Audit Firms and states it has no preference among them. You submit the request through the CCC Portal to the firm you choose.
Can Waves renew a CCC we did with another provider?
Yes. We start with your previous report, check it against SACS-210 and take it from there.
