London Strategy Centre Launches ‘Cyber Excellence’ Certification to Strengthen Organisational Resilience Across the Middle East, London, UK – 12th January 2026

London Strategy Centre (LSC) today announced the launch of Cyber Excellence, a pioneering organisational cybersecurity certification designed to complement national cybersecurity standards across the Middle East and enable organisations to demonstrate measurable resilience across their operating environment.

London Strategy Centre is inviting organisations to participate in shaping and validating the framework. The pilot will assess and enhance cybersecurity maturity across people, systems, processes, governance, and supply chain networks, ensuring a practical, scalable, and outcomes-based approach to risk management.

Cyber Excellence is about moving from awareness to resilience,” said Dr. Imran Zawwar, CEO of the London Strategy Centre “This initiative provides organisations with a structured pathway to systematically close gaps, strengthen defences, and build lasting trust with customers, partners, and regulators.”

Designed and delivered by cybersecurity experts, Cyber Excellence reflects international best practice in cyber governance, while aligning with the Middle East’s strategic vision for a secure and diversified digital economy. The certification focuses on measurable capability development and is intended to reduce risk exposure, enhance regulatory readiness, and elevate organisational performance.

The pilot will operate as a collaborative innovation programme, engaging participating organisations in the co-design of the framework, evaluation tools, and adoption pathways. Organisations will benefit from hands-on diagnostics and expert advisory support

“Cyber resilience is now a competitive imperative, Dr. Zawwar ” added. “Organisations that can evidence maturity, rather than simply intent, will be positioned to lead in an increasingly interconnected economy.”

Cyber Excellence is the latest initiative under the London Strategy Centre’s mission to accelerate capability development and strategic readiness across public and private sector organisations in the region.
