A UAE-based IT service provider improves security posture

Limited expertise for layered compliance

As a growth enabler in the IT services space with a team of 40, our client’s top priority was keeping infrastructure and sensitive client and organizational data secure.

However, with limited in-house cybersecurity and compliance expertise, it was challenging to do so on their own.

With the UAE’s threat landscape being dominated by threats like ransomware, exploitation-based attacks, AI-driven phishing, and credential theft, each unaddressed gap carried direct risk of exposure to service discontinuity, financial & reputational loss, and regulatory consequences.

Our client was planning to achieve globally recognized ISO27001 certification while complying with regional cybersecurity regulations.

As threats keep evolving and compliance requirements keep changing, our client didn’t face a one-time but a continuous challenge. They needed proactive defense that evolved with threats, improved with a changing regulatory landscape, and went beyond one-time risk assessment.

• Limited security control and visibility across the environment
• No timely insights to act on emerging risks

• Limited in-house expertise to address ISO27001 and UAE regulatory compliance requirements
• Hidden security and compliance risks

Continuous security and compliance improvement

Our client was looking for security vendors who could provide the continuous expertise and support they needed to address their security and compliance goals.

After an extensive evaluation, they found SharkStriker offered a single-stop access to continuous cybersecurity and compliance support to help them establish a resilient and compliant security posture. It gave them the confidence to address multi-layered global and regional compliance needs without having to search or manage different vendors.

“We were always driven by the mission to help organizations reach their potential through our services. We needed to ensure the security of their most valuable data assets while they progress. However, with a limited team, it was a challenge to identify hidden risks and ensure round-the-clock security. SharkStriker helped us do that through dedicated round-the-clock expertise, helping us maintain a secure and compliant state.” – CEO
