Interstandards – About us

Interstandards potential can't be summarized into one statement or two; because there's just a lot more of what could Interstandards bring to the industry in our region.

We are proud of the way our clients, partners and colleagues have described us.

H.H. Sheikha Lubna Al Qasimi, Minister of Economy and Planning of The United Arab Emirates:
An increase in Internet usage in the Arab world is set to have a profound and long-lasting impact on the growth of the region's economies. Interstandards' mission to improve the quality of both commercial and governmental websites in the region helps to foster the further adoption of e-business, a model that benefits both the private and public sectors in the Middle East. As we raise the standards of e-business in the Arab world, organizations here have an increased opportunity to compete equitably in the global marketplace.

Mr. Jamal Abdulsalam, Executive Director of Dubai Internet City:
“As the region’s ICT hub DIC, we are keen to support and participate in initiatives that drive the growth of the ICT industry. Through this joint venture with eHosting DataFort and Arab Organization for Internet Standards, we seek to help accelerate the growth of the Internet industry and revolutionize the growth of a new vibrant Arab e-business sector from the heart of Dubai.”

Mr. Mohammed Fooz, CEO of eHosting Data Fort:
“Applying a set of minimum security standards on websites where individuals enter sensitive personal and/or financial data is essential in avoiding the risk of unauthorized use of this data. The setting of such standards will be most welcomed by the users of these websites. The standards will also ensure that websites are forthcoming about the level of security adhered to, as they would be held legally liable for any false statements. As such, the standards will benefit the users by assuring them of the protection of the data they enter and will benefit the organizations by giving more confidence to the users of its website”.

Mr. Omar Hijazi - CEO,Tejari.com:
"Interstandards plays a vital role as a catalyst of change in enabling the Arab world to further develop its Internet capabilities. Just as global standards have accelerated the pace of innovation within the technology industry, Interstandards is also creating a platform for best practices by developing the quality standards that will help to increase commercial and consumer confidence in the online business model."
