We resell and fully manage elite 24/7 MDR platforms on your behalf — so you get enterprise-grade threat hunting and containment with one local, accountable partner.
We map your environment, crown-jewel assets, compliance obligations and current gaps, then recommend the right MDR platform and control set for your risk and budget.
We deploy sensors and EDR, integrate identity, email and cloud sources, and baseline detections — with minimal disruption to your operations.
Your environment is watched continuously by tier-1 analysts. Isstah liaises on every escalation and keeps detections tuned to your reality.
Proactive hunts surface hidden threats; containment playbooks fire on confirmed incidents; and every event feeds a continuous hardening loop.
We recommend the MDR platform that fits you — independence is the whole point.
Access to global-scale detection and response, without the global-scale price tag.
A Dubai-based team that understands UAE PDPL and the regional threat landscape.
One partner owns the outcome end to end — no finger-pointing, no hand-offs.
There is no single price — it depends on user and device count, how much of your estate needs monitoring, and whether compliance work runs alongside. As a guide, managed security for a UAE SME typically lands in the AED 2,000–5,000 per month range, while one-off security assessments run from roughly AED 15,000 for a small business to considerably more for a multi-site enterprise. We give you an itemised proposal after a free consultation, so you know the number before anything starts.
Antivirus and EDR are tools that sit on your devices. Managed Detection and Response is those tools plus a team of analysts watching them around the clock, investigating what fires, and containing threats rather than just alerting you. The difference matters at 3am on a Friday, which is when ransomware operators prefer to work. We do not run our own SOC — we partner with tier-1 MDR providers and manage them for you, so you get one local, accountable point of contact.
Treat identity as the perimeter, because it now is. The baseline is multi-factor authentication everywhere, Conditional Access rules that account for device and location, and the removal of legacy authentication protocols that quietly bypass MFA. Above that sits privileged access management: administrator accounts held in a vault, checked out when needed, with the session recorded. Standing admin rights on everyday accounts remain the most common finding in the reviews we run.
Layers, because no single control catches everything. Technically: authenticated sending domains with SPF, DKIM and DMARC set to enforce rather than monitor, attachment and link inspection, and impersonation rules that catch lookalike domains targeting your finance team. Procedurally: an out-of-band verification step for payment and bank-detail changes, which is what actually stops business email compromise once a convincing message does land.
It is a point-in-time snapshot, and your attack surface changes weekly as systems are patched, exposed and reconfigured. Continuous threat exposure management keeps that picture current and, importantly, ranks findings by what is genuinely reachable and exploitable rather than by raw CVSS score. Breach and attack simulation goes a step further by testing whether your existing controls would actually stop a given technique. For NESA-regulated entities the annual test is a mandatory floor, not a ceiling.
NESA compliance is mandatory for UAE government and semi-government entities and organisations classed as critical infrastructure; ISO 27001 is voluntary. They overlap but are not interchangeable — a well-run ISO 27001 programme typically covers around 70–80% of NESA's requirements, leaving UAE-specific gaps such as the annual penetration testing mandate and sector-specific technical controls. Most organisations we work with use ISO 27001 as the base and layer NESA controls on top.
Yes, and we usually prefer to. We are vendor-neutral, so if your Microsoft, Fortinet, CrowdStrike or Sophos investment is sound we will build around it rather than sell you a replacement. A surprising amount of value comes from switching on capability you are already licensed for. We recommend a change only where there is a gap the current stack genuinely cannot close, and we will show you the gap.
