Qatar, Gulf and Singapore Cyber Security Compliance Training

Our Qatar NIAS training, together with courses on Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Singapore and Pakistan cyber security and data protection rules, helps regional organisations meet national standards, central bank requirements and privacy laws across the Gulf and Asia. SSC delivers practical courses live online or on-site for government entities, critical infrastructure, banks and their suppliers.

Frameworks we train on

Qatar NIAS training

The National Information Assurance Standard, issued by Qatar’s National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA), is the country’s core information security standard. Version 2.1, approved in May 2023, works with the National Data Classification Policy: organisations classify their information, apply the baseline controls, and add further controls for more sensitive classifications. Government bodies seeking NIAS certification are audited by NCSA-accredited auditors. Our NIAS practitioner course covers classification, the control domains, evidence and preparation for certification.

Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman

• Bahrain: the National Cyber Security Center baseline controls for critical national infrastructure, the Central Bank of Bahrain’s cyber security risk management requirements with very short incident reporting windows, and the Personal Data Protection Law.
• Kuwait: the National Basic Cybersecurity Controls issued in 2026, with a compliance deadline in October 2027 for covered entities, and the Central Bank of Kuwait’s Cyber and Operational Resilience Framework for banks.
• Oman: the Central Bank of Oman’s Cyber Security and Resilience Framework for licensed institutions, and the Personal Data Protection Law, fully enforceable from February 2026 with a 72-hour breach notification duty.

Singapore training

Singapore courses cover the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Technology Risk Management Guidelines and Notices, including incident notification and system availability expectations; the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore’s Cybersecurity Code of Practice for critical information infrastructure owners, refreshed in 2026; the Cyber Trust and Cyber Essentials certification marks for organisations of every size; and the Personal Data Protection Act’s breach notification duties.

Banking cyber resilience across the region

Central banks across the Gulf and Asia now expect board-level oversight of cyber risk, tested incident response, third-party and cloud risk management, and fast regulator notification. Our banking cyber resilience course compares the requirements of the central banks your institution answers to and runs a tabletop exercise based on a realistic incident. For Pakistan, a briefing covers the Pakistan Information Security Framework 2026 approved by the Federal Cabinet and what it means for government entities and their suppliers.

How the regional framework training is delivered

• Live online. Instructor-led virtual classes over Microsoft Teams or Zoom, with breakout exercises, shared workbooks and the option to split longer courses into half-day sessions across a week or two.
• On-site at your premises. Private training for your team at your office, delivered by a consultant who can use your own policies, systems and examples in the exercises.
• Private and tailored. Every course can be run for a single organisation, with case studies drawn from your sector and the depth adjusted to your team’s experience.

For Gulf clients, sessions can be supported with bilingual English and Arabic materials on request.

What participants receive

• A course workbook and the slides used in class
• Reusable templates and checklists, such as audit checklists, risk registers and report formats, depending on the course
• A case study pack and practice questions
• A certificate of completion from Security Solution Consultants

Certificates and accredited exams

Every participant who completes a course receives a certificate of completion from Security Solution Consultants. Lead Auditor and Lead Implementer courses can include an accredited certification exam through our accredited training partner, for standards where the partner offers one. Your quote confirms the exam body, exam format and certificate for each course, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why train with SSC

• Taught by practitioners. Our trainers are working consultants and auditors who work with clients across the Gulf and Asia and maintain regional framework modules in GRCLens, so examples come from real engagements rather than slides.
• We hold ourselves to the same standard. SSC is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and follows a Secure by Design approach. See our Trust Centre.
• Hands-on with real tools. Exercises can use GRCLens, the GRC platform built by SSC, so participants practise with risk registers, control libraries and evidence the way they will at work.
• Training that connects to delivery. If your team needs help after the course, the same people can support implementation, internal audits and certification readiness.
