DESC Compliance Services
Align your organisation with the Dubai Electronic Security Centre (DESC) cybersecurity framework — protecting digital assets, meeting UAE regulatory obligations, and demonstrating security leadership in Dubai.
DESC Compliance Methodology
Our approach takes you from initial gap assessment to full DESC accreditation through four structured phases — combining UAE regulatory expertise with practical implementation support.
Current-State Assessment
Evaluate your existing security controls and practices against the DESC framework requirements, producing a clear picture of your current compliance posture.
What you receive: Current-state assessment report, DESC framework gap analysis, risk prioritisation.
Framework Mapping & Design
Map your environment to DESC control domains and design a remediation plan covering policies, technical controls, and governance structures.
What you receive: DESC control mapping document, remediation roadmap, policy design recommendations.
Controls Implementation
Deploy technical and procedural controls aligned with DESC requirements — including IoT security where relevant — and develop the documentation your assessors require.
What you receive: Implemented controls, documented policies and procedures, audit-ready evidence pack.
Certification & Audit Support
Prepare your organisation for DESC accreditation, supporting the assessment process and responding to assessor queries through to certification.
What you receive: Audit-ready evidence pack, assessor liaison support, post-audit remediation guidance.

Tailored testing approaches
| Approach | What it simulates | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|
| Black Box | An external attacker with zero knowledge of the application's internals | External-facing apps, pre-launch assessments |
| Grey Box | A compromised insider or threat actor with partial access (credentials, architectural overview) | Post-authentication flows, privilege escalation testing |
| White Box | Full access to source code, architecture diagrams, and environment details | Deep-dive code review, CI/CD pipeline integration, maximum coverage |
