The UAE Information Assurance Standards — originally published by the National Electronic Security Authority (NESA), now operated by the Signals Intelligence Agency (SIA) — are the mandatory information security baseline for UAE critical sector entities.
The UAE IAS define mandatory security requirements for entities classified as critical national infrastructure across telecommunications, energy, finance, transport, government and other regulated sectors. They align with ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST SP 800-53 but add UAE-specific sovereignty, residency and incident reporting requirements.
Telecommunications carriers, energy and water utilities, financial institutions, federal and emirate government entities, healthcare providers, transport operators and any entity designated as critical infrastructure by the UAE Cybersecurity Council. Cloudgenics deploys into AWS Middle East (UAE), Azure UAE North/Central, Oracle Cloud Abu Dhabi/Dubai and Alibaba Cloud Dubai to keep data resident.
Every UAE NESA Information Assurance Standards requirement mapped to the Cloudgenics technical controls that satisfy it, with traceability.
Telemetry, configuration scans and audit logs streaming into a tamper-evident evidence store with retention aligned to the framework.
Standardised auditor walkthrough materials — diagrams, run-books and policy templates — that fast-track the assessment.
