What is NESA Certification?
NESA Certification ensures that organizations supporting the UAE’s Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) comply with the UAE Information Assurance Standards (IAS). The National Electronic Security Authority (NESA), also known as the Signals Intelligence Agency (SIA), enforces these standards to enhance the country’s cybersecurity.
Â
Achieving NESA Compliance strengthens cybersecurity resilience, mitigates risks, and safeguards critical assets. Organizations must adhere to NESA’s strict security framework to protect national services from evolving cyber threats. By following the UAE IAS, businesses can establish robust security controls, develop cyber awareness, and build a strong risk management system.
