Such certificates contribute to raising the quality of information-security management, enhancing confidence in SDAIA’s ability to protect sensitive information and manage risks. Obtaining the certificate is part of the global trend towards adopting best practices in the field of information security.

This certificate is part of a series of global certificates that SDAIA has obtained in the field of data and AI, reflecting its commitment to achieving the highest standards of quality and institutional excellence in all areas.
