Real projects, real outcomes
A selection of engagements Isstah has delivered across banking, government, financial services and real estate — security, cloud, identity and infrastructure work that made a measurable difference.
We are judged by what we deliver. These engagements show how Isstah re-engineers, secures and modernises critical IT environments — with a validation-first approach that prioritises correctness and minimal disruption.

Client names are kept confidential; the work and outcomes are real.
Enterprise Firewall Platform Migration
A leading UAE Islamic bank needed to migrate its perimeter security from a legacy Sophos UTM to a current-generation Sophos Firewall (SFOS) high-availability cluster. Because the platforms handle routing, NAT and web-proxy very differently, every web-filter profile, firewall rule and policy had to be re-engineered natively rather than copied — across a heavily segmented banking network with numerous third-party integrations.
Enterprise Network Monitoring Transformation
A major government social-insurance authority ran a fragmented, over-licensed PRTG estate — one core server overloaded with ~16,000 sensors, another under-used, and a non-compliant DR site on a free licence with no unified view and entirely manual device onboarding. Isstah consolidated and modernised the entire monitoring platform across Head Office and Disaster Recovery sites.
Hybrid Identity Remediation
A DIFC-regulated investment firm faced recurring identity issues — unreliable sign-in after password changes, broken self-service password reset, and new devices not appearing under management. Isstah traced these to root causes in the hybrid Microsoft Entra ID configuration and remediated them in structured phases.
Microsoft 365 Security Hardening
A Dubai-based real-estate firm engaged Isstah to assess and harden its Microsoft 365 environment across identity, email, collaboration, compliance, endpoint and threat protection — aligning the tenant with Microsoft best practice and establishing a managed, auditable baseline for the in-house IT team.
