- FSRA (ADGM)

Meet ADGM's Expectations, Not DIFC's.

We help firms operating within Abu Dhabi Global Market align with Financial Services Regulatory Authority expectations around technology governance, cyber risk, and operational resilience.

What We Cover

- Industries We Serve

FSRA (ADGM) Built Around Your Sector

FSRA expectations scale with what your ADGM license actually permits you to do, and a full financial services firm faces deeper technology governance requirements than a smaller regulated activity.

We scope your FSRA alignment around your specific license and activity profile.

Finance

We help ADGM-licensed financial institutions align technology governance with FSRA expectations.

Healthcare

We help ADGM-based entities handling health-adjacent financial products manage overlapping regulatory obligations.

Legal

We help ADGM-based advisory and legal firms meet FSRA outsourcing and data governance requirements.

Retail & E-Commerce

We help ADGM-based fintech and payment firms align with FSRA technology risk expectations.

AWJ Tech Builds Governance Specific to FSRA, Not Borrowed From Somewhere Else

DFSA and FSRA share similarities but aren’t interchangeable, and a program built for one regulator can leave real gaps against the other. AWJ Tech builds governance specific to what FSRA actually expects.

- Common questions

What Clients Ask About
FSRA (ADGM)

How is FSRA different from DFSA?

They regulate different free zones, ADGM and DIFC respectively, with distinct rulebooks that require separate alignment.

Do you communicate directly with the FSRA on our behalf?

We prepare your documentation and controls; we support your direct regulatory communication with your firm and legal counsel.

Can one compliance program satisfy both FSRA and DFSA?

There's overlap, but each has specific requirements; we help build a program that satisfies both where you operate in each.

How long does FSRA alignment typically take?

Timelines depend on current maturity and license category, typically ranging from six weeks to a few months.

Does this cover operational resilience requirements too?

Yes. Operational resilience planning is a core part of FSRA alignment work.

Can this help prepare for an FSRA supervisory visit?

Yes. Structured documentation and controls significantly reduce findings during supervisory engagement.
