Real Problems. Measurable Results.

A selection of representative engagements — anonymized to protect our clients, as good security partners should.

Retail

Regional retail group — 12 locations across the UAE

The Challenge

Aging network infrastructure, no central visibility, and repeated POS outages costing sales. No security monitoring of any kind.

What We Did

Redesigned the entire network with SD-WAN across all branches, deployed next-gen firewalls and endpoint protection, and onboarded the group onto our 24/7 managed security service.

The Results

  • Zero POS outages in the 12 months after deployment
  • 100% of locations under central monitoring
  • Threat response time cut from days to under 15 minutes
Financial Services

Fintech startup preparing for regulatory licensing

The Challenge

Needed to demonstrate strong security controls to regulators and enterprise partners — quickly — with a small in-house team.

What We Did

Performed full penetration testing of their platform, built a remediation roadmap, implemented IAM and encryption controls, and authored their security policy framework aligned with ISO 27001.

The Results

  • All critical and high vulnerabilities remediated in 6 weeks
  • Passed partner security due diligence on first attempt
  • Security framework adopted as the company standard
Healthcare

Private healthcare provider, Abu Dhabi

The Challenge

Sensitive patient data on legacy systems, no tested backups, and rising concern about ransomware targeting the healthcare sector.

What We Did

Implemented immutable backup with tested disaster recovery, migrated records to a secured cloud environment, deployed EDR across all endpoints, and ran staff phishing-awareness training.

The Results

  • Recovery time objective reduced from 'unknown' to under 4 hours
  • Phishing click-rate dropped 78% after two training cycles
  • Full alignment with UAE health data regulations
