Why Every Digital Asset Company in Dubai Needs a vCISO And How FemtoSec Makes It Effortless?
Dubai is Leading the Web3 Revolution
Dubai has quickly become a global hub for digital assets and Web3 innovation, thanks to its forward-thinking regulatory approach led by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).
But if you’re a startup or established company operating in this space, you already know: compliance isn’t optional, it’s your ticket to legitimacy and growth.
The Hidden Burden of Compliance
One of the key licensing requirements set by VARA is appointing a vCISO (Virtual Chief Information Security Officer) and a DPO (Data Protection Officer). Sounds simple? Think again.
Hiring a full-time CISO and DPO, along with the necessary support team, can cost companies tens of thousands of dirhams every month. We’re talking about:
- Salaries and Sponsorships
- Health insurance
- Office infrastructure
- Retention programs
- Training and certifications
For startups or lean digital asset companies, this overhead can be crippling.
