Cyber ResilienceKuwait’s banking, finance, and enterprise sectors face a range of regulatory and AI governance demands, including the Central Bank of Kuwait’s new CORF framework (876 controls across 27 domains, effective December 2025), mandatory SWIFT CSP obligations, and the governance of AI systems inside regulated environments.
DTS Solution has supported these areas across the GCC since 2011, and works with Kuwait organizations across all of them through a single advisory relationship.DTS Solution, a GCC cybersecurity advisory firm operating since 2011, is helping Kuwait’s banking, finance, and enterprise sectors navigate a wave of current regulatory and AI governance demands through its established cybersecurity and compliance services, including penetration testing, ISO 42001 AI management system advisory, SWIFT CSP assessment, CBK CORF readiness, HawkEye managed SOC, GRC managed services, and cyber resilience assessment.
What regulatory demands are Kuwait organizations facing?
Several demands are shaping the Kuwait regulated landscape. The Central Bank of Kuwait’s Cyber and Operational Resilience Framework (CORF) replaced the 2020 Cybersecurity Framework in December 2025, introducing 876 controls across 27 domains. Alongside this, correspondent banking members remain subject to mandatory SWIFT Customer Security Programme obligations. And as AI systems are adopted more widely inside regulated environments, governance of those systems is becoming a growing priority.
What does DTS Solution offer Kuwait organizations?
DTS Solution’s Kuwait service portfolio covers the full range of these areas:
- Penetration Testing: adversarial testing of networks, applications, and infrastructure to identify exploitable weaknesses before an attacker does.
- ISO 42001 (AIMS) Advisory: implementation and certification support for organizations governing AI systems under the ISO/IEC 42001 AI management system standard.
- SWIFT CSP Assessment: independent assessment against SWIFT’s Customer Security Programme controls for correspondent banking members.
- CBK CORF Readiness Program: gap assessment and remediation support against CBK’s Cyber and Operational Resilience Framework.
- HawkEye Managed SOC: a 24×7 security operations center delivering extended detection and response.
- GRC Managed Services: ongoing governance, risk, and compliance support across regional and international frameworks.
- Cyber Resilience Assessment: evaluation of an organization’s ability to withstand, respond to, and recover from cyber and operational disruptions.
What is the CBK CORF and what changed?
CORF replaced Kuwait’s 2020 Cybersecurity Framework in December 2025, expanding the regulatory baseline to 876 controls across 27 domains. The shift is not only in scale but in emphasis: CORF is built around operational resilience, meaning institutions are expected to prove they can withstand, respond to, and recover from disruption, not simply document that controls exist.

Why work with a single advisory partner?
CORF, SWIFT CSP, and AI governance share overlapping controls, common evidence, and the same underlying risk questions. Working with a single advisory partner across these areas means one view of your control environment rather than separate projects stitched together across multiple vendors.
As Vahe Daghlian, CEO and Co-Founder of DTS Solution, puts it: “Kuwait’s regulated sector is being asked to prove resilience, not just compliance, at the same time organizations are adopting AI faster than their governance can keep up. Our Kuwait clients already work with us across CORF, SWIFT CSP, and AI governance through one advisory relationship instead of stitching together multiple vendors.”
DTS Solution has supported cybersecurity, GRC, and managed security programs across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait since 2011. Its HawkEye Managed CSOC and XDR platform and Complyan GRC platform already support entities working against CBK, SAMA, CBB, and other regional frameworks alongside ISO 27001, NIST, PCI DSS, and SWIFT CSP.
Kuwait organizations can request a consultation on any of these service lines through DTS Solution’s Kuwait office.
