Financial firms operating within the Abu Dhabi Global Market — a purpose-built international financial free zone on Al Maryah Island governed by the FSRA, the ADGM Registration Authority and the ADGM Courts — carry the same cyber and physical security obligations as any regulated institution globally, alongside the specific data protection requirements set out in the ADGM Data Protection Regulations. Meeting those obligations in practice means deploying enterprise-grade firewalls, endpoint detection and response (EDR/XDR), hardware-token multi-factor authentication (MFA) such as YubiKey, SIEM-backed security monitoring, immutable backup, and physical controls including biometric access and secure boardroom AV — and maintaining documentary evidence that all of these are correctly configured and actively managed. Emirtech Technology, a security and IT systems integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) based at Mussafah M44 and active in Abu Dhabi since 2018, designs and delivers this full technical stack for ADGM-registered entities. To be clear about scope and honesty: Emirtech is an independent technical integrator; we are not an ADGM-licensed entity, an FSRA-authorised firm, or an officially endorsed vendor of ADGM — we simply serve the businesses that operate within the free zone, bringing Abu Dhabi experience and, for security systems, ADMCC approval to each engagement. Our role is to engineer, install and maintain the security and IT controls your firm requires; legal obligations, regulatory submissions and formal compliance determinations remain with your qualified UAE-licensed counsel and compliance officers.
What we deliver
Design, supply and configuration of FortiGate, Sophos XGS and Cisco Secure Firewall (formerly Firepower) next-generation firewalls — with VLAN segmentation separating trading networks from back-office, compliance and guest environments, enforced inter-zone policies, and ongoing rule-set management to keep pace with evolving threat intelligence.
We build the log-source infrastructure — switches, servers, endpoints, firewalls and physical-access systems — that feeds cleanly into a SIEM platform, and assist with onboarding those sources. Correlation rules in your SIEM can be tuned to the financial services threat model to surface anomalies — lateral movement, bulk data access, off-hours admin activity. Emirtech does not operate a 24/7 SOC; alert monitoring stays with your team or a managed SOC provider.
YubiKey and FIDO2/OTP hardware tokens deployed for privileged workstations, VPN gateways, cloud console access and critical application logins. Combined with role-based access control and just-in-time privilege elevation, hardware MFA greatly reduces the credential-phishing risk that often targets financial firm staff.
Endpoint detection and response across Windows and macOS workstations — with behavioural analytics, threat containment and forensic telemetry. Paired with immutable, encrypted backup and tested disaster-recovery playbooks, your firm can demonstrate that client data and transaction records are protected against ransomware, insider threat and site-level loss.
The ADGM Data Protection Regulations require that entities registered within the free zone implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data — obligations that translate directly into testable infrastructure controls. Emirtech's deployments are documented to support those controls, providing documentation your internal compliance team can use as evidence. Our scope covers network segmentation and access logging integrated into your existing banking and finance security estate, alongside tamper-evident CCTV systems covering sensitive areas of your Al Maryah Island office. On the infrastructure side, server and storage platforms are configured with full-disk encryption, access-controlled management interfaces and replication-backed DR. To start a conversation, call +971 55 651 7843 or submit a quotation request and a specialist will respond the same working day.
Full-premises delivery
High-definition IP cameras covering reception, trading floors, server suites and meeting corridors in Al Maryah Island office premises — configured with tamper-evident, time-stamped recording, extended retention schedules and access logging suitable for regulatory and internal audit review.
Fingerprint, card-plus-PIN and mobile-credential systems controlling access to server rooms, compliance offices and restricted back-of-house areas. Full event logs export to your SIEM or compliance team on demand — providing the physical-access audit trail that complements your logical access controls.
Integrated audio-visual systems for boardrooms and meeting suites — encrypted wireless presentation, privacy-mode cameras, acoustic shielding considerations and network isolation for boardroom AV equipment so that sensitive client and investor discussions are not inadvertently exposed on the corporate network.
Scheduled preventive maintenance visits, firmware and EDR-signature updates, SIEM rule reviews and fault-response arrangements agreed in the written quotation — helping keep your physical and cyber controls maintained ahead of audits, internal compliance reviews and cyber insurance renewals.
The security and IT requirements of an ADGM-licensed bank differ from those of a boutique family office or a fintech firm in the ADGM Innovation Centre. Emirtech scopes each engagement around the specific risk profile, floor area, headcount and regulatory obligations of the organisation rather than applying a one-size template. Below are the sub-segments we can scope for across ADGM and Al Maryah Island.
Emirtech is based in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, and covers Al Maryah Island and the ADGM precinct, the Abu Dhabi Central Business District, Corniche, Khalidiyah, Al Reem Island, Yas Island and wider Abu Dhabi. We are an independent integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems); we do not currently claim a framework or approved-vendor status with ADGM, FSRA or any other regulatory authority unless explicitly on record.
