The ADGM FSRA Cyber Risk Management Framework sets mandatory standards for financial firms to enhance cyber resilience, effective January 31, 2026.

Core Requirements
Firms must implement a board-approved Cyber Risk Management Framework (CRMF) integrated into existing risk governance, with proportionality based on firm size and threats. This includes risk-based assessments, operational controls like encryption and access management, and tailored incident response playbooks. Enhanced third-party oversight mandates contractual security commitments for IT vendors.

Reporting and Compliance
All material cyber incidents require reporting to FSRA within 24 hours, supported by updated templates and materiality guidance. A six-month transition period allows preparation, building on prior IT Risk Guidance and cybercrime prevention principles.

Governance Focus
Board-level accountability ensures oversight, with programs covering threat detection, recovery strategies, and alignment to UAE national cybersecurity goals. Firms face supervisory reviews and potential penalties for non-compliance.
