As cyber threats, ransomware attacks, insider risks, and data breaches continue to rise across the UAE and globally, organizations must adopt robust cybersecurity frameworks to protect sensitive information and critical digital assets. The UAE Information Security Regulation (ISR) established by the Dubai Government provides a comprehensive framework that helps government entities and organizations strengthen information security governance, operational security, and regulatory compliance.

CyberSec Consulting delivers end-to-end UAE ISR compliance consulting services that help organizations achieve compliance, improve cybersecurity resilience, reduce cyber risks, and align with Dubai Government information security requirements. Our cybersecurity experts support organizations across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the UK, Egypt, and Africa with comprehensive compliance and information security solutions.

What is UAE Information Security Regulation (ISR)?

The Information Security Regulation (ISR) is a cybersecurity and governance framework introduced by the Dubai Government to establish standardized information security practices across government entities and organizations handling sensitive information.

The framework is designed to protect critical data, strengthen cybersecurity governance, improve risk management, and reduce the likelihood of cyberattacks, data breaches, and operational disruptions.

ISR consists of 13 information security domains grouped under three major categories:

Governance

Focuses on cybersecurity leadership, policies, compliance management, and risk governance.

Operations

Addresses security operations, incident management, access control, monitoring, threat detection, and cybersecurity risk mitigation.

Assurance

Ensures ongoing compliance through audits, assessments, reviews, and continuous improvement programs.
