You are compliant.
Are you protected?

A new
operating reality

The United Arab Emirates financial sector has entered a new regulatory environment.

Financial institutions have successfully met the requirements of the Central Bank of the UAE regarding the prevention of fraud incidents affecting consumers. Since 31 March 2026, this is no longer about deadlines, but about what is now required to operate. Compliant but questionable authentication creates financial liability. Fraud is an institutional responsibility. Security gaps are measurable and exposed. This is a structural shift in how trust is built and maintained.

From compliance
to control

Most UAE financial institutions have met the new requirements. Fewer are operating with full control. The difference is the Trust Gap. This is where risk persists and where closing it drives efficiency, strengthens trust and creates
competitive advantage.

Understanding the Trust Gap

The gap between compliance and real-world protection defines your risk – and your advantage. We help financial institutions identify and close critical security vulnerabilities while building stronger institutional trust.

What’s in your Trust Gap?

What closing the gap delivers:

Legacy authentication and interim fixes continue to operate within the system, leaving points of vulnerability even after compliance has been achieved.

The complexity of risk makes it difficult to detect, interpret and respond to threats in real time with confidence.

When fraud occurs, the impact is immediate, bringing financial cost, operational stress and a direct effect on reputation.

What closing the gap delivers:

A secure, consistent authentication environment that removes weak points and reduces exposure.

Real-time, context-aware insight into risk, enabling faster and more confident decision-making.

Reduced fraud, improved efficiency and stronger customer trust that drives long-term performance.

Closing the Trust Gap turns risk into advantage.

Regulation has raised customer expectations

Customers expect secure, seamless experiences. When that breaks, trust is lost in behaviour, retention and long-term value.
Institutions are no longer judged by whether they are compliant, but by how effectively they operate beyond it.

10XTrust is a trust infrastructure built for this environment.

10XTrust is not another authentication layer. It is a trust infrastructure designed for the new regulatory environment.

  • Scales across millions of users without operational complexity
  • Replaces vulnerable authentication with cryptographic certainty
  • Enables risk-based, context-aware security
  • Ensures every transaction is verified, not just approved

The 10XTrust UAE Trust Gap Assessment identifies where exposure, uncertainty and liability may still exist in your environment.
