IAF (Information Assurance Framework) Compliance Services

The UAE IA NESA framework is a comprehensive set of guidelines and standards designed to improve the cybersecurity posture of government entities and critical national infrastructure in the UAE. Complying with these standards is not only a legal obligation but also a vital step in safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring operational integrity.

UAE IAF Consulting Services Include:

Gap Assessment

We assess your current security posture against IAF/NESA controls to identify gaps in existing policies, processes, and technologies. This foundational step provides a clear roadmap for compliance.

Risk Assessment & Treatment

Using the UAE National Cyber Risk Management Framework, we conduct a detailed risk assessment to identify threats, vulnerabilities, and potential impacts. Our team then develops a tailored risk treatment plan to address identified gaps effectively and efficiently.

Policy & Procedure Implementation

We design and implement robust cybersecurity policies and procedures that align with both IAF requirements and your organizational objectives, ensuring a solid governance structure.

Security Testing & Vulnerability Assessments

Our specialists perform penetration testing and vulnerability assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of your existing controls, uncover weaknesses, and enhance your overall cyber resilience.

Security Awareness Training

We deliver tailored training programs to increase employee awareness of cybersecurity threats, NESA/IAF requirements, and best practices for risk mitigation and secure behavior.

Technology Implementation Support

Our experts help deploy and configure the right technical solutions—firewalls, endpoint protection, SIEM, access controls, and more—to close identified gaps and support long-term IAF compliance.

Internal Audit & Compliance Review

We conduct a comprehensive internal audit to validate your organization’s readiness for official IAF/NESA compliance assessments. Our audit includes detailed reports, risk prioritization, and hands-on support in addressing findings.
