GRC in UAE: Key Requirements

UAE organisations must comply with Federal Decree-Law No. 45/2021 (PDPL), DIFC Data Protection Law, alongside CB UAE guidelines, TRA cybersecurity standards, and ISO 27001. Businesses in Dubai and Abu Dhabi face rigorous audits, data localisation rules, and fines up to AED 5 million for breaches. Enactia addresses UAE’s evolving regulatory landscape across finance, tech, and government sectors.

Why UAE Firms Need a GRC Tool

Fragmented compliance tracking fails against DIFC Commissioner inspections, SCA requirements, and multi-emirate oversight, exposing gaps in risk and third-party management. A comprehensive GRC tool unifies control frameworks, automates evidence, and ensures readiness for UAE Data Office enforcement. Enactia delivers region-specific automation for streamlined governance.
