Staff receive convincing fake invoices and login pages, and one click is all it takes. Our fix: Email filtering, MFA and short, practical awareness training.
See the common problemsYou're not sure the backups would survive, or how long a restore would take. Our fix: EDR, segmentation and immutable, tested backups.

We protect your company in layers: firewall, endpoints, email, backups and monitoring. Each layer is configured, documented and checked, so one mistake doesn't become a crisis.
Sound familiar?
Security worries that keep owners up at night.
Most incidents we clean up started with something small that nobody was watching.
Phishing gets through
Staff receive convincing fake invoices and login pages, and one click is all it takes.
Fear of ransomware
You're not sure the backups would survive, or how long a restore would take.
Expired licences
The firewall and antivirus subscriptions lapsed and protection quietly stopped.
Shared admin passwords
Everyone uses the same admin account, and ex-employees may still have access.
No visibility
If someone logged in from abroad at 3 am, nobody would know.
Compliance questions
Clients and auditors ask about PDPL and NCA controls and you have no clear answers.

Interactive · backup & recovery check
If ransomware hit tonight, what would you lose?
Recovery point (how much data you lose) and recovery time (how long you're down) decide whether an incident is a bad day or a lost month.
Your recovery picture
Indicative only. Restore times assume typical throughput for each location. Real figures depend on your backup software, bandwidth and how many systems must come back first.

Security choices, without the jargon.
What actually matters when you compare security proposals.
Firewall vs UTM vs NGFW
All filter traffic. The difference is how deeply they inspect it and what's included.
Allows or blocks by port and address. Necessary, but blind to modern threats.
Adds antivirus, web filtering and VPN in one box. Good for SMEs.
Application-aware, with IPS, SSL inspection and identity-based rules. Size it with security services switched on.
Ask for: the throughput with threat protection enabled, not the headline figure.
Antivirus vs EDR vs MDR
Antivirus looks for known bad files. EDR watches behaviour. MDR adds people who respond.
Signature-based. Cheap, but misses new and fileless attacks.
Detects suspicious behaviour, isolates devices and lets you roll back damage.
A 24/7 team monitors EDR alerts and acts on them for you.
Rule of thumb: if nobody watches the alerts at night, EDR alone isn't enough.
Backup vs DR vs high availability
They solve different problems, and most businesses need a mix.
Copies of data to restore after deletion, corruption or ransomware.
A plan and a standby environment to bring systems back within a set time.
Redundant systems that keep running through a hardware failure.
Define first: how much data you can lose (RPO) and how long you can be down (RTO).
Vulnerability scan vs pen test
Both find weaknesses, at different depth and cost.
Automated and regular. Finds missing patches and misconfigurations at scale.
Skilled testers chain weaknesses together the way a real attacker would.
Scan monthly or quarterly. Pen test yearly or after major changes.
Tip: a report is only useful if someone owns the fixes. Ask for a remediation plan.
MFA options
Not all multi-factor authentication is equally strong.
Better than nothing, but vulnerable to SIM swap and phishing.
Strong and easy. Turn on number matching to stop "MFA fatigue".
Phishing-resistant. Ideal for admins and finance.
Start with: email, VPN, remote access and every admin account.
PDPL & NCA basics
Saudi organisations increasingly need to show reasonable data protection.
Know what personal data you hold, protect it, and be ready to handle breaches and data requests.
Government entities and their suppliers follow the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls.
Asset list, access control, MFA, backups, logging and an incident response plan.
Note: this is general guidance, not legal advice. Confirm requirements for your sector.
How we work
From assessment to monitoring, a clear roadmap.
Fix the biggest risks first, and measure progress in plain language.
Assess
Review of the firewall, endpoints, email, accounts, backups and exposure from the internet.
Prioritise
Quick wins first (MFA, patching, backups), then a phased roadmap.
Implement
Configure the firewall, EDR, email security, DLP and backups, with minimal disruption.
Test & train
Test restores, vulnerability scans and short phishing awareness sessions.
Monitor
Alerts, monthly reports, patching and licence tracking under SLA.
Technology we work with
Proven security platforms, chosen per risk.
FAQ
Questions clients ask us.
Have a different question? A specialist will reply on WhatsApp.
Yes. Most attacks are automated and opportunistic, and smaller companies are often easier targets. The good news is that a few basics (MFA, patching, EDR and tested backups) stop most of them.
Usually not on its own. Modern attacks often avoid signature-based antivirus. EDR with someone responding to alerts gives far better protection.
Yes. We review the backup jobs and retention, then run a test restore of selected data or a virtual machine into an isolated environment.
We run practical gap assessments against common controls and implement the technical measures. For legal interpretation we work alongside your legal adviser.
Call or WhatsApp us straight away. We help isolate affected devices, assess the scope, restore from clean backups and harden the environment to prevent a repeat.
Modern EDR is lightweight. We tune policies and exclusions so protection doesn't get in the way of daily work.
Yes. Monitoring, patching, licence tracking and a monthly report can be part of a support contract with defined response times.
Start with the basics that stop most common attacks: multi-factor authentication, patching, tested backups and email filtering. We give you a prioritised plan and add more as your budget allows.
