The Information Security Risk Assessment Policy serves as a crucial governance document for organizations operating in Qatar, establishing systematic approaches to identifying and managing information security risks. This policy is essential for ensuring compliance with Qatar's cybersecurity regulations, including the Personal Data Privacy Protection Law and Cybercrime Prevention Law, while providing a structured approach to risk management. The document outlines mandatory procedures for conducting risk assessments, defines roles and responsibilities, and establishes reporting requirements. It is particularly important given Qatar's increasing focus on digital transformation and cybersecurity protection, especially in sectors handling sensitive data or critical infrastructure. The policy helps organizations maintain compliance with both local and international standards while protecting their information assets effectively.
