FAQ

Common questions

What compliance regulations apply to Bahrain businesses?▾
CBB CSF (if CBB-licensed), PDPL for all businesses processing personal data, NCSC guidance for critical infrastructure, and global standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001) for international operations.
What is the difference between CBB CSF and PDPL?▾
CBB CSF focuses on cybersecurity for financial institutions regulated by the CBB. PDPL (Personal Data Protection Law) applies to all businesses that process personal data — it's a data privacy law, not sector-specific.
Does NetGuard support Arabic?▾
The platform is in English. Arabic documentation is available for Enterprise customers.
Is NetGuard available for non-CBB Bahrain businesses?▾
Yes — any Bahrain business can use NetGuard for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and NIST CSF. The platform is not limited to CBB-licensed institutions.
