UAE Information Assurance Regulation Assessment And Reporting in line with a latest circular from CBUAE

On 21 June, 2024, a circular from Central Bank of UAE (CBUAE) has been issued to, all Licensed Financial Institutions (LFIs) - (CBUAE/BIS/2024/3109). As per the directions of the circular, in light of an evolving risk landscape and increasing number of cyber-attacks, Licensed Financial Institutions (LFIs) are required to target full compliance with the UAE Information Assurance Regulation (UAE IA). This requirement of compliance stems from the UAE’s National Cyber Security Strategy used to elevate the level of protection of organizations.

As a minimum, organizations are required to carry out an annual self-assessment against UAE Information Assurance Regulation and submit to CBUAE.
