Digital Government Authority, 2026 cycle, V5.0. The DGA reference the whole sector is measured against.
Qiyas is an index the Digital Government Authority issues every year to measure how compliant your entity is with national digital transformation. V5.0 for the 2026 cycle ships with 10 perspectives, 24 axes, and 89 standards. Each standard has a 5.18.4-style code, a text, application requirements, and very specific evidence. Verification runs in three stages: initial, system reopening, final.
A fast assessment of every perspective and axis that tells you where you stand before formal verification. Two weeks, no more.
A gap per standard across all 89, ordered by impact, not by hope. Each gap gets an owner, a duration, and a list of required evidence.
Approved documents, periodic reports, technical evidence pulled from the systems themselves, and live measurements. We wire every piece of evidence to its standard.
Executing the closure plan in priority order, with weekly reviews until every standard is ready ahead of initial verification.
We sit alongside you through initial verification, the system-reopening window, and final verification — answering reviewer remarks together.
Our teams have spent years inside real Qiyas cycles, not training rooms. We know exactly where entities stumble: a leadership-approved strategy with 30% execution, KPIs that live on a PowerPoint with no system feeding them, and evidence that falls apart the moment a reviewer opens it.
An evidence library built from real engagements, not workshops — policies, forms, SLAs, checklists ready to be tuned to your entity. It saves weeks of administrative work.
V5.0 know-how for the 2026 cycle: we understand the new Websites Efficiency perspective, the move of Government Data to SDAIA, and the difference between 89 standards and the previous 95. We don't bring 2024 templates to a 2026 cycle.
A DGA index that measures how compliant your entity is with the national digital-transformation requirements. V5.0 for the 2026 cycle: 10 perspectives, 24 axes, 89 standards.
Axes went from 23 to 24, standards dropped from 95 to 89. Websites Efficiency is a brand-new perspective, and Government Data moved out to SDAIA.
Qiyas measures your whole digital transformation. NORA is a methodology for enterprise architecture only — Qiyas evaluates it inside axis 5.3, nothing more.
Ministries, authorities, public institutions, councils, and national centres. The cycle is annual and the results feed straight into Vision 2030 KPIs.
If your readiness is middling, plan for 6 to 12 months. Honestly, start with a readiness check so you size the work properly — gaps that surface in month 9 cost three times as much.
Four states under §7.2: full, partial, non-compliance, not applicable. Qiyas is not a CMMI-style maturity model — do not let anyone tell you otherwise.
Every week you delay eats into the window you will need to close gaps before initial verification. Start with a readiness check and find out where you actually stand.
