- UAE IA, ISO 27001, ADHICS
- Board-ready reporting
Most organizations know they have cyber risk. Far fewer can say which risks matter most, who owns each one, what is being done about it and by when. Without that, security spending follows the last incident or the loudest vendor, and the risk register is a spreadsheet updated once a year for the auditor.
We run cybersecurity risk management as a working process. We assess your risks against how your business actually operates, record them in a live risk register with owners and deadlines, map every treatment to the controls in UAE IA (formerly NESA), ISO 27001 or ADHICS, and report progress in terms management can act on.
What is included
- Cyber risk assessment. Your assets, threats and weaknesses assessed, with each risk scored by likelihood and business impact and the reasoning written down.
- Live risk register. Every risk recorded with an owner, a rating, a treatment decision and a review date, kept current rather than rebuilt for each audit.
- Treatment plan. For each risk, a decision to reduce, transfer, avoid or accept it, with the actions, owners and deadlines that follow.
- Third-party risk. Suppliers and service providers that touch your systems or data assessed and tracked, because many incidents start outside the organization.
- Control mapping. Treatments mapped to UAE IA (NESA), ISO 27001 and ADHICS controls, so one piece of work counts for every framework you answer to.
- Management reporting. Risk posture, overdue treatments and accepted risks reported in plain language for management and the board.
Penetration testing is not part of this service. Where a risk needs technical testing, the treatment plan says so and scopes it.
How the engagement runs
- Scope. The quotation on this site captures your size, sector, systems and the frameworks you answer to.
- Assess. Interviews, documents and system reviews turned into a scored list of risks.
- Treat. A treatment plan agreed with the people who own each risk.
- Monitor. Regular reviews of the register, with progress reported to management.
Questions
What is cybersecurity risk management?
It is the ongoing process of finding the cyber risks to your organization, rating them by likelihood and impact, deciding how to treat each one, and checking that the treatments are actually done. The risk register is where that work is recorded.
Is a cyber risk assessment required in the UAE?
For many organizations, yes in practice. ISO 27001 requires a documented information security risk assessment, and the UAE Information Assurance Standards (formerly NESA) and Abu Dhabi's ADHICS are both built on risk management. Assessors expect to see the assessment and the register behind your controls.
How is this different from a compliance management system?
Risk management decides what to protect and how; a compliance management system tracks the controls and evidence that result. Many organizations need both, and our compliance management systems service can hold the register this work produces.
How much does a cyber risk assessment cost?
It depends on the size of the organization, the number of systems and sites, and the frameworks in scope. The quotation on this site gives you a scoped estimate in AED.
