Yes. VTR IT’s cybersecurity audit and advisory services are structured against NESA IAS (for federal government and critical national infrastructure), ADHICS (for Abu Dhabi DOH-regulated healthcare entities), DESC ISR (for Dubai government entities), and UAE PDPL (for any entity handling resident personal data). The compliance gap matrix documents your control status against each framework. Regulatory sign-off requires direct engagement with the relevant authority.
A cybersecurity audit assesses controls, policies, configurations, and compliance posture – it identifies where your gaps are. A penetration test actively attempts to exploit vulnerabilities to show how far an attacker could progress. An audit tells you where the gaps are; a pentest demonstrates what an attacker can do with those gaps. VTR IT provides both. The audit is typically the recommended starting point and is provided free as a baseline assessment.
