SIA/NESA Assessment & Implementation

Achieving National-Level Cybersecurity Compliance in the UAE with Confidence

The National Electronic Security Authority (NESA), now operating under the Signals Intelligence Agency (SIA), has issued a comprehensive UAE Information Assurance (IA) Standard to safeguard critical national infrastructure from cyber threats. These standards apply to both public and private entities operating in sectors vital to the UAE’s security and economy. ASC Group provides full-cycle support for SIA/NESA compliance, including assessment, implementation, policy design, and audit preparation. Our services are designed for organizations that are either directly governed by the SIA IA Standard or those that support critical operations in regulated sectors such as energy, banking, aviation, healthcare, ICT, and transportation. We ensure your controls, governance, and security architecture are fully aligned with UAE’s national cybersecurity strategy — reducing regulatory exposure while strengthening overall risk posture.
