Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 12 February 2025. 6clicks, a pioneer of AI-powered Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) solutions, introduces its newly uplifted custom registers to support Middle Eastern organizations in meeting key regulatory requirements for operational resilience. This advancement is designed to align with local requirements, such as the Saudi Central Bank's (formerly Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority or SAMA) Cybersecurity Framework and the Dubai Financial Services Authority's (DFSA) Rulebook for Authorised Market Institutions.
As the Middle East experiences accelerated digital transformation and economic growth, the need to safeguard critical services and infrastructure against increasing cyber threats becomes more urgent. Regulatory frameworks such as the SAMA Cybersecurity Framework were established to guide organizations in developing robust measures to protect information security and improve resilience. It requires financial institutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to implement a set of controls encompassing domains such as cybersecurity governance, risk management, operations and technology, and third-party cybersecurity.
Simultaneously, with its Rulebook for Authorised Market Institutions, the DFSA in the UAE has made operational efficiency and resilience part of its general licensing requirements for all organizations working with the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Under the legislation, all financial entities must establish systems and controls for risk management, outsourcing, and technology resource management to ensure operational continuity.
6clicks’ enhanced custom registers provide a powerful, adaptable solution that enables Middle Eastern organizations to easily implement and manage cybersecurity measures and seamlessly comply with these regulations. Organizations can create, customize, and manage structured information registers to fulfill diverse requirements such as asset management, vulnerability management, cybersecurity incident management, and business continuity management.
Key features of 6clicks custom registers:
"As regulatory expectations for operational resilience continue to rise in the Middle East, organizations must adopt innovative solutions that facilitate compliance and strengthen cybersecurity,” said Anthony Stevens, CEO & Co-Founder of 6clicks. “Our custom registers empower the Middle East financial sector to efficiently manage data, enhance risk oversight, and implement robust resilience strategies in alignment with SAMA and DFSA requirements.”
Beyond the financial sector, 6clicks' custom registers are built to bolster operational resilience across diverse industries and domains such as government and defense, healthcare, and manufacturing. 6clicks provides a complete suite of GRC functionality to support cyber resilience, equipping organizations with IT risk management, security compliance, vendor risk management, issue and incident management, and audit and assessment capabilities.
