Cybersecurity compliance services

Meeting the UAE's cybersecurity and data-protection rules isn't optional — and it's increasingly what wins you contracts. Al Hutaib helps you assess, close the gaps and stay compliant with the frameworks that matter: UAE IA (NESA), Dubai ISR, ADHICS, UAE PDPL, ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS — from first gap assessment through to audit readiness.

Gap assessmentImplementation & policyAudit readiness

From 'where do we stand?' to 'we're compliant'

Compliance can feel like a maze of overlapping frameworks and controls. Al Hutaib makes it practical: we assess where you stand against the frameworks that apply to you, build a clear remediation roadmap, help implement the technical and policy controls, and prepare you for audit — then help you stay compliant as rules and your business evolve. The result is not just a certificate, but genuinely stronger security and the credibility to win regulated business.

What we do

End-to-end compliance support:

Gap assessment

We measure your current posture against the applicable framework and show exactly where you fall short.

Remediation roadmap

A prioritised, practical plan to close gaps — by risk and effort.

Controls implementation

We help deploy the technical controls (firewalls, EDR, monitoring, access, encryption) the standard requires.

Policies & documentation

The policies, procedures and evidence auditors expect — written for your business.

Audit readiness

We prepare you for certification/assessment and support you through it.

Ongoing compliance

Frameworks and threats evolve — we help you stay compliant, not just pass once.

Why Al Hutaib

UAE-framework fluent

We work with the frameworks that actually apply here — NESA, Dubai ISR, ADHICS and UAE PDPL — not just generic advice.

Assess-to-audit, one partner

From gap assessment through remediation to audit readiness — a single accountable team.

Security, not just paperwork

We implement real controls (backed by our cyber practice), so you're genuinely more secure, not just documented.

Win regulated business

Compliance opens doors with government, finance and healthcare clients who demand it.

How we work

A clear route from assessment to audit-ready:

Scope — identify which frameworks apply to you
Assess — measure current posture and find the gaps
Plan — a prioritised remediation roadmap
Implement — deploy controls, policies and evidence
Prepare — get audit-ready and support the assessment
Maintain — stay compliant as rules and risks change
Which framework applies to us?

It depends on your sector and clients — e.g. Dubai government suppliers face ISR, healthcare faces ADHICS, card-handling businesses face PCI-DSS, and UAE PDPL applies broadly to personal data. We'll help you identify exactly which apply.

Frequently asked questions

Commonly NESA/UAE IA, Dubai ISR (DESC), ADHICS (Abu Dhabi healthcare), UAE PDPL (data protection), plus international ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS. Which apply depends on your sector, location and clients.

A structured review that measures your current security against a framework's requirements and identifies exactly where you fall short — the starting point for becoming compliant.

Yes — we help you implement an ISO 27001-aligned information security management system, prepare documentation and get audit-ready for certification.

Several frameworks are mandatory by sector — e.g. ISR for Dubai government entities and their suppliers, ADHICS in Abu Dhabi healthcare, and UAE PDPL for personal data. Others (like ISO 27001) are often required by clients.

Both — we assess and advise, and our cyber team implements the real technical controls (monitoring, EDR, firewalls, access, backup) the frameworks require.

Yes — alongside UAE frameworks we support international standards and KSA frameworks (SAMA/NCA), delivered largely remotely across the region.
