Context & Why It Matters
The UAE and wider GCC operate one of the densest regulatory landscapes in the world for cybersecurity, IT risk, business continuity and data protection.
- Financial services answer to CBUAE, SAMA, SCA, DFSA, ADGM FSRA and CMA; healthcare to ADHICS V2 and DHA; government and critical sectors to NESA/SIA, NCA ECC/CCC/OTCC and DESC; and every entity to UAE PDPL or KSA PDPL.
- Cross-jurisdictional groups face overlapping, sometimes conflicting, obligations.
