Frequently Asked Questions

Who must comply with the Dubai ISR?

Dubai government entities and, increasingly, private-sector suppliers that process government data or deliver services to government. Compliance is commonly flowed down through contracts — we can assess whether your contracts trigger ISR obligations.

Is ISO 27001 mandatory in the UAE?

Not by law for most sectors, but it is the de facto procurement baseline for enterprise and government deals, and it satisfies large parts of ISR and IA Standards requirements — making it the most efficient starting point.

Can you support both DIFC and mainland entities?

Yes. We advise mainland companies and DIFC/ADGM-registered firms, including the free zones’ data protection regimes.

Do you provide Arabic documentation?

Core policies and evidence packs are delivered in English, with Arabic translations arranged where regulators or auditors require them.
