NESA — UAE National Electronic Security Authority
The UAE National Electronic Security Authority (NESA) — now part of the Cyber Security Council — issues the UAE Information Assurance Standards (IAS). For ITAD specifically, NESA IAS covers asset disposition discipline for UAE government entities, critical infrastructure, and certain regulated private sector. Maxicom UAE engagements covering NESA-applicable entities are structured to satisfy NESA in admissible form.
NESA scope
NESA IAS applies to UAE federal-government IT, critical-infrastructure operators (energy, telecommunications, water, transport), and certain private-sector operators in critical sectors.
IAS controls relevant to ITAD
IAS controls covering asset management, sanitisation, disposal, and chain-of-custody parallel NIST SP 800-53. Maxicom certificates cite the applicable IAS controls.
Federal-government engagement profile
UAE federal-government IT retirements operate under sovereign-data-residency strict — sanitisation in-jurisdiction; cleared-operator protocols; on-site execution where required.

Frequently asked questions
Are your operators cleared for NESA-applicable engagements?
Yes — engagement-specific cleared-operator pool documented.
How does NESA compose with PDPL?
NESA covers the cyber security and information assurance layer for federal-government and critical-infrastructure entities; PDPL covers personal-data protection. Maxicom certificates satisfy both where applicable.
