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?
