The UAE’s retail and e-commerce sector, valued at over USD 11 billion in 2025 and projected to double by 2030, is one of the fastest-growing digital economies in MENA. Across the region, e-commerce is reshaping consumer behaviour, with over 91% of MENA consumers shopping online and mobile-first experiences driving growth in markets such as KSA, Egypt, and the UAE. As cyber threats increase, from payment fraud and account takeovers to  data privacy breaches, retailers require partners who can secure digital storefronts, protect customer data, and ensure compliance with PDPL and international standards.

How RSM Helps:

RSM UAE delivers cybersecurity consulting and professional services that fortify e-commerce platforms, enable secure transactions, and build consumer trust in a hyperconnected retail landscape. We provide cyber drills, cyber maturity assessments, VAPT, forensic investigations, and red teaming to strengthen both front-end and back-end systems. Our kill-chain analysis capabilities identify and contain threats across the entire digital shopping journey.

Case Study:

For a leading retailer with more than 850 outlets across the Middle East and Europe, we delivered incident response and forensic services following a major cyberattack that resulted in a distributed denial of service (DDoS) across its systems. We conducted a root cause analysis, reconstructed the entire kill chain, and identified the hacking group responsible. Remedial measures were implemented under our recommendation and supervision to ensure future protection.
