Certification that keeps pace with the threat.

DESC certification gives Dubai government and semi-government entities confidence in the cloud, security-operations and cyber-force providers they rely on. Formal audits set the bar; our platform keeps watch between them — so assurance is continuous, not once a year.

How certification works

Six stages, one continuous loop

From first application to risk-based renewal. The final two stages — Assurance and Renewal — are where continuous monitoring replaces the old wait-for-next-audit gap.

The formal authorities

BSI remains the accredited audit authority for the CSP and SOC standards. CREST remains the accreditation body for the Dubai Cyber Force scheme. Their audits are rigorous and remain the basis on which a certificate is granted. DESC holds the final certification decision.

What we add between cycles

A formal audit is a point-in-time snapshot — valuable, but periodic. Between cycles, configurations drift and risk changes. The platform's continuous-assurance layer watches for that drift and feeds the picture back to DESC and the auditors, so nothing waits twelve months to surface. It supports the formal process; it does not replace it.

Where the AI sits: it recommends, flags, summarizes and drafts — DESC and the accredited auditors keep every decision. Explainability is built in: each AI signal shows its reasoning, never a black box.
