Oman National Cybersecurity Framework for Auditors
What does Oman National Cybersecurity Framework require of a Auditor?
Oman's National Cybersecurity Framework, issued by the Information Technology Authority (ITA) and Oman National CERT, provides cybersecurity requirements for government entities and critical infrastructure operators in the Sultanate of Oman. Under Oman National Cybersecurity Framework, which defines 8 controls, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which Oman National Cybersecurity Framework controls land on the Auditor

Oman National Cybersecurity Framework defines 8 controls across 8 domains that directly affect the Auditor role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
