Data Residency in me-central-1 (UAE) & Regional Infrastructure
Your VAPT findings, logs, and forensic data stay within UAE borders. We leverage AWS me-central-1 (UAE) as our primary secure enclave, with failover capability to me-south-1 (Bahrain) for high-availability scenarios. This means:
- Zero cross-border data transfer – compliance with UAE PDPL and local data sovereignty rules
- Sub-50ms latency for real-time testing of Dubai and Abu Dhabi production networks
- Encrypted, air-gapped repositories for penetration test reports and evidence
- Immediate access to regional forensic and incident response capabilities
Enterprise clients in the UAE banking, healthcare, and government sectors gain regulatory certainty and faster remediation cycles because test infrastructure is hosted locally.
