Regulatory Compliance Services for UAE, GCC & EU
What Are Cybersecurity Regulatory Compliance Services?
Cybersecurity regulatory compliance services help your organisation interpret the laws, standards and regulator frameworks that apply to it, implement the required controls and produce the evidence auditors and regulators expect.
In the UAE this includes the NESA / UAE Information Assurance (IA) Standard, Dubai Electronic Security Center ISR, Abu Dhabi ADHICS for healthcare, CBUAE regulations for banks and payment firms, the UAE PDPL and Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) requirements. GCC groups must also address SAMA CSF, Saudi NCA ECC and Qatar NIA, while EU-facing businesses face GDPR, NIS2 and DORA.
Our compliance consultants build one unified control framework so you satisfy every regulator without duplicated effort.

Regulatory Compliance FAQs
What is the NESA / UAE IA Standard?
The UAE Information Assurance Standard, originally issued by NESA and now overseen by the UAE Cybersecurity Council, defines management and technical controls for government entities and critical national infrastructure. Compliance is mandatory for in-scope entities and increasingly requested from their suppliers.
Who must comply with Dubai DESC ISR?
The Dubai Electronic Security Center Information Security Regulation applies to Dubai government entities and semi-government organisations, and flows down to third parties that process their information or provide ICT services.
Which regulations apply to banks and fintechs in the UAE?
Banks, payment service providers, stored value facilities and insurers are regulated by CBUAE, which issues information security, outsourcing and consumer protection requirements. PCI DSS applies where card data is processed, and DIFC and ADGM have their own rules for firms in those free zones.
Do UAE companies need to comply with GDPR, NIS2 or DORA?
Yes, if they offer goods or services to EU residents (GDPR), operate as essential or important entities in the EU (NIS2) or provide ICT services to EU financial entities (DORA). We help UAE businesses assess applicability and implement the required controls.
How long does a compliance programme take?
A gap assessment takes 3 to 6 weeks. Full remediation depends on the number of gaps and frameworks, typically 3 to 9 months. We prioritise high-risk gaps first so you can show regulators early progress.
Can you represent us during a regulatory audit?
Yes. We prepare evidence packs, run mock audits and attend regulator or certification audits alongside your team to answer questions and manage findings.
