TheCyberBuy connects businesses with trusted cybersecurity vendors, AI security specialists, and system integrators filtered by your region, vetted by our team. Now live across the UAE.
How do you actually vet the vendors, and does the filtering factor in the specific compliance standards a business needs to meet?
@kriyeqhl5 At this stage vetting is manual and intentional. Every vendor and system integrator that applies to list goes through a review before their profile goes live. We check that the company is real and operating, that the domain email matches the organisation, that their listed services and products are legitimate, and that they are actually present in the region they claim to serve. We reject anyone who cannot verify these basics.
About the On compliance-based filtering: Not yet fully built, but it is explicitly in the roadmap and frankly one of the strongest product opportunities we have.
The MENA market is uniquely compliance-driven. A hospital in Dubai does not just need a cybersecurity vendor — they need one who understands ADHICS. A financial institution in Abu Dhabi needs NESA alignment. A fintech in DIFC needs DESC ISR. These are not optional considerations. They are legal requirements.
Our plan is to tag every vendor and SI profile against the compliance frameworks they have hands-on experience with : NESA, ADHICS, DESC ISR, UAE PDPL, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, IEC 62443 for OT environments etc, and others. A business will be able to filter the directory by the exact compliance standard they are trying to meet and see only the vendors and SIs who have delivered against it.
How does the vetting process actually work for the listed vendors, and is there any way to see what specific criteria they are evaluated against before I reach out to one?
@elifnur3asg Every vendor and system integrator goes through a manual review before their profile goes live on TheCyberBuy. We verify that the company is real, regionally present, and that what they claim to offer matches what they actually do.
Here is exactly what we check:
Identity & Legitimacy
The company must register using a verified business domain email. We cross-check the organisation name, website, and regional presence before approval. No free email accounts. No anonymous listings.
Regional Presence
A vendor claiming UAE presence must actually operate in the UAE — not just have a website that ships globally. We verify this during onboarding.
Service & Product Accuracy
What a vendor lists as their products or services must reflect what they actually deliver. We flag and reject profiles that list capabilities they cannot demonstrate.
One Domain. One Account.
Each company gets one verified account tied to their business domain. This prevents duplicate or fake listings entirely.
What we do not do is (and we are transparent about this) is conduct technical audits of their products or certify their quality of delivery. But may be in future we will be adding a service review for each companies under their profile.
