Protect critical national infrastructure. Meet UAE NESA and ADSIC mandates.

Government entities and public sector organisations face persistent, sophisticated threats — including state-sponsored actors — while operating under the UAE's most stringent cybersecurity mandates. UAE NESA, ADSIC, and NCEMA frameworks demand structured compliance programmes aligned to national security priorities. We understand these frameworks from the inside and help public sector organisations build security that protects critical services.

Key regulatory & security challenges

The UAE government's cybersecurity framework is among the most mature in the region. The UAE Cybersecurity Council, operating through NCEMA, has established national frameworks that apply across federal and emirate-level entities. ADSIC governs Abu Dhabi government entities specifically, while UAE NESA (National Electronic Security Authority) requirements set the baseline for critical information infrastructure operators. Public sector organisations face threats that differ in character from commercial threats: espionage, service disruption, and supply chain compromise are the primary vectors. The workforce is large and distributed, procurement processes involve significant supply chain exposure, and the systems being protected often underpin national critical infrastructure — utilities, transport, identity, financial regulation. CYVOXAI brings deep familiarity with the UAE's regulatory landscape and a practical, phased approach to compliance that works within government procurement and governance structures.

Our Government approach

Every Government engagement is tailored to the specific regulatory environment, threat landscape, and operational context of your organisation. These are the pillars of how we work in your sector.

UAE Framework Specialists

We have deep familiarity with UAE NESA, ADSIC, and NCEMA frameworks — understanding not just the requirements but the intent behind them and how regulators assess compliance.

Critical Infrastructure Protection

For entities operating critical national infrastructure, we apply specialised OT/ICS security assessment methodologies alongside IT security — understanding the unique constraints of operational environments.

Supply Chain Security

Government procurement involves hundreds of vendors with varying security postures. We build vendor security assessment programmes that fit government procurement timelines and risk appetite.

Phased Compliance Roadmaps

Government security programmes require multi-year roadmaps aligned to budget cycles and governance processes. We build practical, prioritised programmes that deliver measurable progress each year.
