What is SIRA?
Understanding the regulatory landscape for security systems in Dubai.
Security Industry Regulatory Agency
SIRA (Security Industry Regulatory Agency) is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing security systems in certain buildings and developments in Dubai.
Requirements may apply to commercial buildings, certain residential developments, new builds, or major refurbishments, and they can vary significantly depending on the building type, location, developer, and scope of works.
Our Current Position
Transparency about our status and what it means for your project.
Important Notice
At this time, we are not SIRA registered.
This means:
- We cannot act as the primary installer or signatory for projects that explicitly require SIRA registration

How We Can Still Help
Even where SIRA applies, we may be able to assist depending on the project structure.
Services We Can Provide
- Design and consultation support
- Network and infrastructure planning
- Coordination with a SIRA-registered contractor
- Integration of non-SIRA systems (where permitted)
- Post-install support for non-regulated components
Each project is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
