Sections marked From the standard summarise SACS-210. Sections marked Vaurely guidance are our own practical advice, not Aramco or audit firm requirements: your authorised audit firm may assess things differently.

What the control requiresFrom the standard

  • User authentication based on unique credentials.

How to implement itVaurely guidance

Menu names and licence requirements change over time: check the current Microsoft or Google documentation.

Microsoft 365 · Entra ID · Intune

  • One Entra ID account per person; replace shared mailboxes’ direct sign-in with delegated access.

Google Workspace

  • One account per person; use Groups or delegated mailboxes instead of shared logins.

Evidence to prepareVaurely guidance

Aramco’s CCC program requires recent, time-stamped and clearly labelled evidence for each control. The list below is what we recommend preparing; the audit firm decides what it accepts.

  • User list showing named accounts; explanation of how shared mailboxes or service accounts are handled.

Common mistakesVaurely guidance

  • A shared “office@” or “admin@” login used by several people.
