FAQs

NESA compliance is when organizations in the UAE, designated as critical infrastructure sectors (for example: government organizations, healthcare, finance, etc.) are compliant with the UAE Information Assurance Standards. This involves establishing key protective cyber security controls in cyber security governance, risk management, incident response, data protection, and continuous security monitoring to align with and protect the Nation's cyber infrastructure.

Organizations in the UAE that operate as government entities or critical businesses/industries (e.g., telecoms, finance, healthcare, energy, etc.) should comply with the NESA's 188 controls in order to protect their digital infrastructure. Businesses supporting these critical sectors should consider compliance to provide assurance for their partners and stakeholders in the sectors.

The focus of a NESA compliance audit is to conduct a full assessment of your cyber governance, risk management program, incident response preparedness, data protection methods (including encryption, or access controls) and continuous security monitoring systems to ensure the organizations implementation and continual maintenance of the NESA mandated controls and ongoing compliance.

We provide the support you need from compliance assessment, controls implementation, policy drafting and continuous security monitoring – and to bridge these gaps and align your security posture to meet the NESA compliance standards set for the UAE. We help enterprise organizations react to, be resilient to, and prepare for the evolving UAE cyber threat landscape while maintaining compliance.
