Monitoring you can rely on, around the clock
The SOC Security Standard assures the quality of Security Operations Centre providers that deliver monitoring, detection and response to Dubai government — from analyst coverage to how quickly a real incident is escalated.
At a glance
Who must hold it
SOC and managed-detection-and-response providers that operate security monitoring on behalf of a Dubai government entity are expected to hold SOC certification for the services they deliver — whether that SOC is dedicated or shared across clients.
What the standard covers
A plain-language view of what a SOC provider is assessed against.
The certification path
As with the CSP Standard, BSI performs the accredited audit and DESC makes the final decision. Continuous assurance then tracks the operational signals that matter for a SOC — coverage, response times, and detection health — between surveillance points.
BSI is the accredited audit authority for the SOC Standard. The certificate rests on its formal assessment. The platform complements that audit by keeping the SOC's live performance in view for DESC across the certification term — it supports the audit, it does not stand in for it.
