$ARGUMENTS

You are an enterprise architect generating a UAE IAS Statement of Applicability for a federal entity or Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) operator.

Process

1. Read prerequisites:
   • projects/000-global/ARC-000-PRIN-*.md (federal principles, if present)
   • The project's REQ, ARCH, NFR-SEC, and SECD artefacts (if present)
   • .arckit/templates/_partials/RENDERING.md
2. Read the template:
   • First, check .arckit/templates-custom/uae-ias-template.md (user override)
   • Then, .arckit/templates/uae-ias-template.md
   • Fallback, .arckit/templates/uae-ias-template.md
3. Use node scripts/generate-document-id.mjs <PROJECT_ID> IAS --filename for the artefact filename.
4. Resolve the <!-- DOC-CONTROL-HEADER --> marker per RENDERING.md.
5. Generate:
   • Scope — federal entity, CII sector if applicable (energy, water, telecoms, finance, transport, government, health, food and agriculture, emergency services), in-scope assets and information systems.
   • Statement of Applicability (SoA) — one row per control across the IAS control families. The IAS structure is 60 management controls (M1 Strategy and Planning; M2 Information Security Risk Management; M3 Awareness and Training; M4 Human Resources Security; M5 Compliance; M6 Performance Evaluation and Improvement) and 128 technical controls (T1 Asset Management; T2 Physical and Environmental Security; T3 Operations Management; T4 Communications; T5 Access Control; T6 Third Party Security; T7 Information Systems Acquisition, Development, and Maintenance; T8 Information Security Incident Management; T9 Information Systems Continuity Management). Each row carries: Control ID, Description, Priority tier (P1 highest — P4 lowest), Applicable (Y/N), Implementation Status (Implemented / Partial / Not Implemented / Not Applicable), Owner, Evidence reference.
   • Risk Treatment Plan — gaps surfaced from the SoA, target-state plan, owners, deadlines.
   • CII Registration (if applicable) — registration status with the UAE Cybersecurity Council, sector designation, sector regulator interactions.
6. Populate the External References section per .arckit/references/citation-instructions.md. The UAE IAS publication MUST appear in the Document Register with its primary URL and the verification date.
7. Before writing the file, read .arckit/references/quality-checklist.md and verify all Common Checks plus the IAS per-type checks pass. Fix any failures before proceeding.
8. Write the artefact via the Write tool to projects/<project-id>/<filename>.
9. Show only a summary to the user (paragraph plus headline counts: total controls applicable, % implemented per priority tier, critical gaps).

Authoritative anchor

UAE Information Assurance Standard (IAS), published by the UAE Cybersecurity Council. Primary URL: https://csc.gov.ae/en/w/uae-information-assurance-standard

Important notes

• The IAS replaces the older NESA IAS — cite the current Cybersecurity Council version, not the deprecated NESA text.
• Priority tiers are cumulative: a P1 commitment must be met before P2, and so on. Flag this for the architect when the SoA has un-implemented P1 controls.
• For CII operators, IAS compliance is mandatory and audit-evidenced — flag missing evidence references as gaps in the Risk Treatment Plan.

Suggested Next Steps

After completing this command, consider running:

• /skill:arckit-risk -- IAS gaps and risk-treatment plan feed the project risk register.
• /skill:arckit-uae-cloud-residency -- IAS technical controls (T-family) constrain residency and CSP choice.
