Pakistan Cybersecurity Governance & PISF Readiness

Assess governance and controls against the Pakistan Information Security Framework (PISF), close gaps and prepare evidence.

The client need

Many organizations in Pakistan need to show that cybersecurity is governed, not improvised.

Many organizations in Pakistan need to show that cybersecurity is governed, not improvised. The Pakistan Information Security Framework (PISF) 2026, developed by National CERT and reported to have been approved by the federal cabinet in August 2026, sets baseline controls for federal and provincial bodies and designated critical information infrastructure, with expectations for their suppliers and hosting providers. Teams are often unsure where they stand against it or what evidence they would need, so we confirm its current status and whether it applies to you first. Which requirements apply depends on your organization, its sector and the rules that govern it.
