Multi-cloud architecture, governed landing zones and Infrastructure-as-Code — engineered for performance, cost control and GCC data residency across Azure, AWS and Microsoft 365.
Sovereign by design, automated by default, continuously measured.
Landing zones architected to keep regulated data in-region, aligned to UAE PDPL and sector residency requirements.
Every environment defined as code and deployed through governed, repeatable pipelines — no manual drift.
Preventive and detective guardrails across the tenant from day one — identity, network, cost and security baselines.
Immutable, least-privilege workloads with continuous posture scoring across registries, clusters and runtime.
One set of baselines, enforced consistently across Azure, AWS and Microsoft 365.
SSO, MFA and least-privilege roles, centrally enforced.
Segmented VNets/VPCs with private connectivity and inspection.
Regulated data pinned in-region, aligned to UAE PDPL.
Mandatory tagging, budgets and FinOps guardrails.
Continuous CSPM and Secure Score across every tenant.
Immutable backups with tested, regular recovery drills.
Secure, low-downtime moves to Azure & AWS.
Deploy, harden and govern your tenant.
Multi-tenant cost & performance optimization.
Immutable backups and tested recovery.
Managed databases & data services.
Unified monitoring, logging & alerting.
Continuous posture across every tenant.
VNet/VPC, peering and hybrid links.
We review workloads, compliance and cost goals, then design the target landing-zone architecture.
Landing zones, guardrails and networking are provisioned as code — consistent and auditable.
Workloads move securely; suitable apps are containerised and modernised along the way.
Continuous posture, cost and residency reporting keeps the estate compliant and efficient.
Data residency and PDPL compliance designed in, not bolted on.
Azure, AWS or both — we architect for fit, not lock-in.
Everything as code, so your cloud is repeatable and auditable.
FinOps discipline keeps performance high and spend predictable.
It depends on your sector and data type. The Federal Personal Data Protection Law (Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) governs personal data of UAE data subjects, with full compliance expected by 1 January 2027, and regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare and government are generally expected to keep personally identifiable information in-country. If you operate in DIFC or ADGM, those free zones run their own already-active data protection regimes on top. We map the obligation against your actual data before designing anything.
They differ more than most boards expect, so a single regional architecture rarely satisfies every market. Saudi Arabia is the strictest: under the PDPL administered by SDAIA, personal data stays in the Kingdom by default and cross-border transfers require demonstrable equivalent protection. Qatar's PDPPL is comparatively permissive on cross-border flow, with pressure coming instead from sector regulators. The UAE sits between the two, complicated by the free-zone frameworks. If you operate in several GCC markets, plan for the strictest one in scope.
Not by itself. 'Our provider has a local region' and 'our data is provably stored in-country on infrastructure we can evidence to a regulator' are different statements. Resources drift across regions through defaults, replicas, logging and managed services. Sovereign landing zones exist to enforce that boundary with policy rather than good intentions, and to give you the evidence trail when a regulator or enterprise client asks for it.
Yes — and this is the single most common gap we find. Obligations follow the data, so a backup or DR copy sitting outside the jurisdiction can itself constitute a cross-border transfer, and restoring from it may require a justification nobody has prepared. We treat backup topology and DR failover targets as part of the compliance design rather than an operational afterthought.
A focused Microsoft 365 or single-workload migration is usually a matter of weeks. A full estate move with landing-zone design, governance guardrails and application remediation is more commonly a three to nine month programme, phased so the business keeps running throughout. We start with an assessment so the timeline reflects your actual dependencies rather than a template.
Whichever fits your workloads, existing skills and licensing position — we are not incentivised either way. Organisations already deep in Microsoft licensing and identity usually get more value from Azure; teams running container-native or data-heavy platforms often land on AWS. Both operate in-region infrastructure across the Gulf, and regional capacity continues to expand, which increasingly makes residency a design decision rather than a blocker. Running both is fine, provided governance is unified rather than duplicated.
In practice: enforcing multi-factor authentication and Conditional Access, closing legacy authentication, tightening external sharing and email defences, applying data-loss prevention and retention policies, bringing devices under compliance management, and then tracking Secure Score over time. Most tenants we review are running close to default settings, which is considerably more open than their owners expect.
