Cyber security services Dubai and UAE — Rootsec penetration testing, VAPT, red teaming and Managed XDR

Testing is not optional in the UAE

Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing is a regulatory requirement here, not a nice-to-have. Depending on your sector, testing obligations flow from:

  • NESA / UAE IA Standards — federal entities and critical infrastructure operators, typically at least annually and after major system changes
  • DESC (Dubai Electronic Security Center) — Dubai government entities and their suppliers
  • CBUAE — banks, finance companies and payment providers
  • TDRA — telecom and digital service providers
  • UAE PDPL — organisations processing personal data

Our work is benchmarked against the frameworks these regimes expect: OWASP, PTES, NIST CSF, MITRE ATT&CK, CIS Benchmarks and ISO/IEC 27001. If you need evidence for an audit, you get a report written to stand up to one.

Offensive cyber security services: testing & simulation

Manual, expert-led testing that shows you how a real adversary would get in — and exactly how to close it.

Detection & protection

Detection only works when someone is watching — around the clock.

When it has already gone wrong

A live incident is a phone call, not a form. Containment first, then recovery, then the honest post-mortem.

Cyber security services Dubai businesses start with

Most organisations arrive at one of these three. New to this? Read how to choose a penetration testing partner in the UAE. Not sure which is you? That is a fine place to begin.

You need testing for a regulator or a client questionnaire.Start with VAPT — it produces the evidence, and it tells you what is real.
You want to know whether your defences would actually hold.Start with a red team operation. Testing one application tells you about that application; a red team tells you about your organisation.
Something is happening right now.Go straight to incident response and call +971 55 468 3363.

In short: our cyber security services cover the full offensive cycle — penetration testing, VAPT, red teaming, social engineering and phishing simulation — plus Managed XDR and incident response when you need defence as well as testing. Whether you are looking for cyber security services Dubai regulators will accept or cybersecurity services UAE-wide for a multi-emirate estate, the starting point is the same: a 30-minute scoping call.
