Frequently Asked Questions
What cybersecurity standards apply to UAE oil and gas companies?
UAE oil and gas operators are subject to NESA Information Assurance Standards (as critical infrastructure operators), IEC 62443 for OT/ICS security, ISO 27001 for information security management, and sector-specific ADNOC supplier requirements. eShield helps operators and their supply chain navigate all of these frameworks.
