Frequently Asked Questions

For banking apps under ADGM, a crucial step is to weight CVSS with business impact and ADGM’s critical‑asset list. Give extra points to vulnerabilities that affect encryption modules, transaction processing, or that have a public exploit. The resulting rank will surface the CVEs that must be addressed within the 30‑day ADGM remediation deadline.

Adopt a staggered maintenance window aligned with DIFC’s 99.9 % uptime target and use automated testing in a sandbox environment. Apply patches to non‑production systems first, then roll out during low‑traffic periods such as 02:00-04:00 Gulf time. Document any exceptions and retain evidence for DIFC auditors.

Track the percentage of high‑risk vulnerabilities closed within the target window, mean time to remediate (MTTR) per asset class, and a risk reduction score calculated as CVSS multiplied by asset value. Also record the number of data subjects impacted by each open vulnerability, which directly ties to PDPL breach reporting requirements. Present these figures in a dashboard that maps to PDPL audit checklists.
