This policy is designed to comply with UAE federal laws, including Federal Decree Law No. 34 of 2021, UAE Information Assurance Standards, and requirements from regulatory bodies such as the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA). The document provides comprehensive guidance on risk assessment methodologies, frequency of assessments, roles and responsibilities, and compliance requirements. It serves as a foundational element in an organization's security governance framework, ensuring systematic identification and management of information security risks while meeting local regulatory obligations.
