Sharjah, October 11, 2021:  Signaling a major milestone for Sahab Smart Solutions (Sahab), the Sharjah Asset Management Holding (SAMH) affiliate, has been awarded three prestigious certifications by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in recognition of its unwavering commitment to the highest standards of quality.

Servicing both public and private sectors in the UAE through its managed IT solutions and innovative digital strategies, Sahab’s endorsement by the world body mirrors the entity’s goal of providing diverse and innovative projects across various sectors, focusing on providing digital solutions in public services, retail, finance, e-commerce, cybersecurity, cloud computing and more.

Sahab applied for and received certifications in three standards, namely, the ISO 22301:2019, which is the international standard for security and resilience for business continuity management systems; ISO/IEC 27001, which provides standards for information security management systems to keep information assets secure; and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, relating to establishing, implementing and maintaining service management systems (SMS) through continuous planning, design, transition and optimisation of services that meet their required values.
