TÜV SÜD Management Services GmbH of Germany, a leading international service organization catering to the strategic business segments industry, mobility, and people, awarded the certification after stringent quality inspections at Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO), which has successfully ensured world class quality systems within its premises.

ISMS is a systematic approach to managing and ensuring the security of critical information and data. It provides a set of standards for the types of security controls that an organization should implement to recognize and address security risks by establishing controlled procedures, policies, and best practices including data capture, transfer, access and storage.

Commenting on this occasion, Abdulsalam Al Bastaki, Director of IT & Services at DSOA, said:

"Quality remains the watchword for DSO and we consider Information Security Management Systems as a priority area that is vital to safeguarding key data. As an internationally recognized technology park, we implement top-notch quality standards in all our areas of operation and the ISO certification adequately demonstrates our status as a widely acclaimed global organisation."


"The ISO certification is an extremely important achievement that reflects the measure of our service commitment to clients. We will continue to implement global guidelines in all our areas of operations to achieve more international recognition in service excellence," he added.

The need for greater information security has become critical as companies become more wired and the connectivity through use of Internet gets more pronounced. The UAE has one of the highest rates of connectivity in the Middle East and the adoption of latest technology remains high in the country.

Dubai Silicon Oasis is a free zone technology park for semiconductor, microelectronics and other high technology-based companies looking to set up their regional headquarters and R&D facilities in the Middle East and North Africa region.
