Digital Dubai Strengthens Security Posture with 24 ISO Certifications and AI Governance Milestone
Digital Dubai has secured 24 international ISO certifications in a single year, marking a significant step toward strengthening its cybersecurity, data protection, and governance framework. The achievement includes what the entity describes as a global first in AI and data governance certifications.
The certifications span information security management, privacy protection, business continuity, risk management, and emerging AI governance standards, reflecting a structured approach to securing Dubai’s digital infrastructure. By aligning with globally recognised ISO frameworks, Digital Dubai is strengthening controls around data integrity, operational resilience, and regulatory compliance.
From a security perspective, the milestone demonstrates Dubai’s commitment to embedding governance and risk management into its digital transformation agenda. As AI adoption accelerates across public services, the focus on certified security frameworks and accountable data management positions the emirate as a benchmark for secure, standards-driven smart government operations.
A Global First in AI and Data Governance
Digital Dubai has also achieved a global milestone as the first entity in the region to receive certification in AI Governance ISO/IEC 38507:2022 and Data Governance ISO/IEC 38505-1:2017. This distinction underscores Dubai’s commitment to managing artificial intelligence through principles of responsibility, transparency, and fairness, and to handling data as a strategic asset that serves people and safeguards their rights.
This achievement places Dubai among the leading cities that not only adopt advanced technologies but also champion ethical governance of digital transformation.
