Achieve NESA Compliance
using UAE Information Security Standards

The National Electronic Security Authority (NESA) is the primary cybersecurity regulator in the UAE and is responsible for protecting the country’s critical information infrastructure. NESA Compliance is mandatory for all organizations operating in the UAE, including government entities and private sector companies. As a NESA Compliance Audit Consulting firm, we specialize in helping organizations achieve NESA controls compliance for UAE’s data and information infrastructures and framework and ensuring their cybersecurity measures are up to par.

Does the following look Familiar?

Legal penalties?

Non-compliance with NESA regulations can result in legal penalties, such as fines or even imprisonment. These penalties can have a significant impact on a company's finances and reputation.

Increased cyber risk?

Without NESA compliance, businesses are more vulnerable to cyberattacks, data breaches, and other security incidents. This can result in the loss of sensitive data, intellectual property, and customer trust.

Inability to bid for government contracts?

In the UAE, businesses that are not NESA compliant may not be able to bid for government contracts, which can limit their opportunities for growth and expansion.

Lack of competitive advantage?

Many businesses are now using their NESA compliance as a competitive advantage, particularly in industries where data security and privacy are top concerns. Without NESA compliance, businesses may struggle to compete with companies that have already implemented these standards.

Loss of business?

A security breach can damage a company's reputation and result in the loss of customers. This loss can be particularly significant for small businesses that rely on repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals.

Our NESA Compliance Services for Audit & Compliance Readiness

As part of our NESA Compliance Audit Consulting services, we provide regular progress reports to organizations on their compliance journey mapped to UAE-NESA controls.

Based on the NESA compliance and audit assessment, the consultants will develop a customized compliance strategy and plan that includes recommendations for addressing the identified gaps and achieving compliance with NESA standards. This may involve implementing new security controls, updating policies and procedures, or providing training and awareness programs for employees.

GAP Assessment

A GAP Assessment is a crucial first step in achieving NESA Compliance. It involves reviewing an organization's current cybersecurity measures and comparing them against the NESA framework.
Our consultants conduct a thorough assessment of an organization's cybersecurity measures to identify any gaps in compliance with the NESA framework. Once the gaps are identified, we work with the organization to create an action plan to address the gaps and achieve compliance with the NESA framework.

Our consultants conduct a comprehensive risk assessment to identify and evaluate the risks faced by an organization's digital infrastructure. We help organizations understand their risk profile and prioritize their cybersecurity measures based on the severity of the risks identified.

Risk Treatment Plan

After identifying and assessing the risks faced by an organization, our consultants work with the organization to develop a Risk Treatment Plan. This plan outlines the actions needed to mitigate the identified risks and achieve compliance with the NESA framework. Our consultants provide recommendations for risk mitigation measures and assist with the implementation of the plan.

Vulnerability Assessments

Vulnerability Assessments are an important aspect of NESA Compliance as they help organizations identify vulnerabilities in their digital infrastructure. Our consultants conduct a comprehensive vulnerability assessment to identify any weaknesses in an organization's cybersecurity measures. We provide recommendations for vulnerability mitigation measures and assist with the implementation of these measures.
