Who are we?

The National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) of the Kingdom of Bahrain was established under Decree No. (65) of 2020, issued by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, King of the Kingdom of Bahrain, initially operating under the Ministry of Interior. In 2024, Royal Order No. (30) was issued, placing the Center under the Supreme Defence Council, with oversight entrusted to the Council’s General Secretariat. This was followed by Royal Order No. (17) of 2025, which defined the Center’s mandates and authorities.

As the national authority responsible for cybersecurity, the NCSC plays a vital role in safeguarding the Kingdom’s cyberspace, strengthening national cyber resilience, and enhancing preparedness to address evolving cyber threats and risks. The Center is dedicated to protecting national interests, securing critical digital infrastructure, and supporting the continuity and reliability of essential digital services.

The NCSC leads efforts to strengthen Bahrain’s national cybersecurity ecosystem through the development of cybersecurity policies, standards, and controls; oversight of the National Cybersecurity Strategy’s implementation; and the advancement of cyber threat monitoring, detection, and incident response capabilities. The Center also promotes cybersecurity awareness, develops national expertise, and fosters strategic partnerships and cooperation at the national, regional, and international levels.

Through these efforts, the NCSC strives to establish a secure, resilient, and trusted cyberspace that enables innovation, accelerates digital transformation, supports sustainable economic growth, and reinforces the Kingdom of Bahrain’s position as a regional and international contributor to cybersecurity.
