Dubai, UAE — SecureVisa Group (SVG), in strategic alliance with cybersecurity pioneer ITSEC, has officially launched the UAE’s most comprehensive full-lifecycle deployment suite for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs).
This groundbreaking initiative, operating under the jurisdiction of Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), marks a major milestone in enabling global crypto and digital asset firms to enter and operate legally in one of the world’s fastest-growing regulated markets.
The SecureVisa Group × ITSEC partnership brings together two powerhouses in their respective fields — SecureVIsa Group’s regulatory execution and licensing expertise and ITSEC’s national-level cybersecurity leadership — to offer founders, funds, and platforms a single, unified partner for every stage of their regulated business journey.
With the demand for licensed digital asset operations growing worldwide, navigating the VARA licensing process and maintaining ongoing compliance have become critical success factors for any serious virtual asset venture.
The SecureVisa Group × ITSEC VARA Suite was created to eliminate the fragmentation and uncertainty that many firms face when trying to operate legally in Dubai’s virtual asset ecosystem.
Through one integrated framework, clients can now:
This all-in-one approach empowers firms to go beyond licensing — to achieve sustained, regulator-aligned growth.
“Licensing is only the beginning,” said Amir Kolahzadeh, Group CEO of ITSEC and SecureVisa Group.
“Our mission is to deliver everything needed to launch and sustain a compliant, secure, and regulator-aligned business — from the first submission to post-licensing audits. We believe the UAE’s regulatory leadership deserves an ecosystem partner that understands both the rules and the technology.”
This vision captures what makes the SecureVisa Group × ITSEC model unique: a full-lifecycle regulatory ecosystem, not just consultancy.
Where most service providers focus on obtaining initial approvals, SecureVisa Group and ITSEC continue to support clients long after the license is issued — ensuring systems, policies, and security frameworks evolve with regulatory expectations.
Dubai is rapidly emerging as the global capital for regulated digital assets. Through VARA, the emirate has created one of the world’s most progressive regulatory environments for crypto exchanges, tokenization platforms, OTC desks, and Web3 startups.
However, this progress comes with complexity. Market entry is highly structured, and maintaining compliance requires ongoing operational and technical precision.
Licensing alone does not guarantee long-term viability — firms must demonstrate continuous readiness across governance, AML/CFT, security, and technology domains.
SecureVisa Group and ITSEC’s new suite addresses this challenge by delivering a complete execution framework — where compliance, cybersecurity, and infrastructure are deployed as a unified, regulator-trusted solution.
The newly launched suite covers every stage of a VASP’s journey — from regulatory formation to operational scaling.
SecureVisa Group handles the entire licensing lifecycle across all major UAE jurisdictions, including Mainland Dubai, DMCC, DWTC, and other Free Zones.
SecureVisa Group ensures every submission is complete, coherent, and regulator-aligned — reducing approval delays and compliance risk.
Compliance is at the heart of every regulated digital asset business. SecureVisa Group architects comprehensive frameworks aligned with:
Solutions include:
The result is a compliance infrastructure that works seamlessly in practice — not just on paper.
Through its technology partners and in-house development expertise, the SecureVisa Group × ITSEC suite enables rapid, secure deployment of digital asset platforms that meet regulatory expectations.
Delivered solutions include:
Every deployment follows a VARA-reviewed architecture, ensuring technology infrastructure aligns with governance, reporting, and security mandates.
Security is not optional — it is mandatory for every licensed VASP. ITSEC brings over a decade of national-level cybersecurity leadership, ensuring clients meet regulator-grade protection standards.
Core cybersecurity services include:
ITSEC’s approach transforms cybersecurity from a defensive measure into a regulator-recognized trust signal.
Once a license is granted, SVG and ITSEC remain active compliance partners.
The VARA Suite includes:
This continuity of service ensures clients remain in tune with regulatory changes, maintaining their license credibility year after year.
The SecureVisa Group× ITSEC collaboration is not new — it’s the product of years of joint execution across financial services, tokenization, and cybersecurity.
SecureVisa Group brings its 20+ years of regulatory and licensing expertise, specializing in structuring fintechs, tokenization platforms, and financial institutions across multiple jurisdictions.
ITSEC, founded in 2011, is the Middle East’s first dedicated cybersecurity firm. It has secured critical digital infrastructure across banking, government, AI, and blockchain systems for over a decade.
Together, SecureVisa Group and ITSEC provide a turnkey solution for every type of virtual asset operation, including:
Their joint ecosystem transforms the licensing process from a series of fragmented tasks into a coordinated, regulator-ready workflow.
Dubai’s commitment to digital asset innovation has made it the most attractive jurisdiction for serious crypto ventures seeking regulatory clarity.
The establishment of VARA represents a turning point — creating an environment where compliance and innovation coexist. The framework’s activity-based model provides firms with specific licenses and governance obligations, ensuring global best practices while encouraging responsible growth.
By operating within VARA’s progressive framework, VASPs benefit from:
For founders, however, entering this ecosystem alone is daunting. The SecureVisa Group × ITSEC alliance eliminates that friction — combining legal precision, technical validation, and cybersecurity assurance into one cohesive service.
“Dubai has made it clear — innovation is welcome, but regulation is non-negotiable,” said Amir Kolahzadeh.
“SecureVisa Group and ITSEC exist to help innovators succeed responsibly within that framework.”
The strength of the SecureVisa Group× ITSEC suite lies in its integration. Clients no longer need to coordinate between separate vendors for licensing, compliance, cybersecurity, and tech. Instead, they gain a single point of accountability — a partner that manages every layer of their regulated operation.
This streamlined approach ensures:
From initial consultation to ongoing compliance reporting, SecureVisa Group and ITSEC handle the complete journey — empowering founders to focus on growth, partnerships, and innovation.
SecureVisa Group is now onboarding select clients for full-lifecycle VARA licensing and infrastructure execution in Dubai. Engagements are confidential and subject to qualification to maintain regulator and client integrity.
