VARA-Approved? Here’s Why ITSEC Is the Cybersecurity Partner You Need

Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has made one thing crystal clear: cybersecurity is non-negotiable. Whether you’re launching a new exchange, scaling a brokerage desk, or already operating as a VASP in Dubai, your regulatory journey hinges on proving that your infrastructure is secure, auditable, and built to survive real-world threats. At ITSEC, we’re not just a cybersecurity vendor—we’re the only Dubai-born cybersecurity firm with deep expertise in VARA compliance, exchange hardening, and crypto-native risk modeling. We secure VARA-regulated platforms end-to-end, from pre-licensing to post-launch audits.

Why Every VARA-Approved Crypto Exchange Needs ITSEC

Regulatory Alignment with VARA Rulebooks VARA’s technical standards require you to demonstrate:

✅ Continuous penetration testing and vulnerability assessments
✅ A hardened production environment with zero-trust architecture
✅ Real-time anomaly detection and incident response plans
✅ Independent third-party audits aligned with international standards

ITSEC maps your architecture directly to VARA Rulebook II (Broker-Dealer), Rulebook V (VA Management & Investment Services), and other relevant frameworks. No shortcuts. No mismatches. Just precise, regulator-grade cybersecurity.
