A prioritised, costed remediation plan
Assessment findings ranked by exploitability and business impact, with effort estimates — so budget goes to the fixes that matter first.
Cybersecurity
Know where you are exposed. Fix it in priority order.
Ransomware groups actively target Gulf enterprises, and regulators in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi now expect documented controls. We assess, remediate and monitor — mapped to the frameworks your auditors actually check against.
Overview
Most Gulf organisations discover their real security posture in one of two ways: a regulator asks for evidence of controls, or an attacker finds the gap first. Ransomware operators have shifted attention to the region precisely because many mid-size enterprises here run mature businesses on immature security — flat networks, unpatched perimeter devices, admin credentials shared over WhatsApp. A VOX GCC engagement starts with an honest assessment of where you stand, expressed as business risk your board can act on, not a 200-page scanner export.
From there we work in priority order: close the exposures most likely to be exploited, harden identity and email (where most Gulf breaches begin), segment what matters, and put detection in place so an intrusion is caught in hours rather than months. For clients without a 24/7 security team — which is most of them — we provide managed detection and response, monitoring your environment and acting on alerts under an agreed playbook.
Compliance is treated as an output of good security, not a separate paper exercise. We map controls to Saudi Arabia's NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC), SAMA's Cyber Security Framework for financial institutions, and the PDPL data protection laws in both KSA and the UAE — so the same work that reduces your risk also produces the evidence regulators and enterprise customers ask for.

Detection without building a SOC
Managed detection and response gives you 24/7 monitoring and an agreed response playbook at a fraction of the cost of an in-house security team.
Audit-ready compliance evidence
Controls mapped to NCA ECC, SAMA CSF and PDPL requirements, documented in the format assessors and regulators expect.
Reduced ransomware exposure
Hardened identity, tested backups and network segmentation — the specific controls that determine whether a ransomware incident is a bad day or a business-ending one.
Board-level reporting
Security posture reported in business terms — risk reduced, incidents handled, compliance status — not raw alert counts.
Why VOX GCC
1
We fix, not just find
Many firms hand you a findings report and leave. Our engineers remediate — patching, reconfiguring, segmenting — and verify the fix closed the gap.
2
Framework fluency
We work with NCA ECC, SAMA CSF and PDPL requirements weekly. You do not pay us to learn the regulations that apply to you.
3
Gulf incident context since 2004
Two decades of running technology for GCC businesses means we know how attacks actually land here — and how regional organisations realistically operate.
4
Right-sized engagements
We scope to your actual risk profile. A 60-person trading company does not need a bank's security programme, and we will not sell you one.

Frequently asked questions
What does a security assessment involve and how long does it take?
We combine external and internal vulnerability assessment, configuration review of identity, email and network infrastructure, and interviews on process and access. A typical mid-size environment takes two to four weeks, and you receive a prioritised remediation plan with effort estimates, not just a list of findings.
We need to comply with NCA ECC. Can you get us there?
Yes. We run a gap assessment against the ECC control set, build a remediation roadmap, implement the technical controls and prepare the documentation and evidence the NCA process requires. For SAMA-regulated entities we do the same against the SAMA Cyber Security Framework.
What does managed detection and response cost?
Pricing is based on the number of users and servers monitored, typically as a fixed monthly fee so budgets are predictable. It is consistently far cheaper than hiring even one full-time security analyst, and it covers nights, weekends and Eid — which is when attacks tend to happen.
We think we may already be compromised. Can you help?
Yes. We handle incident response: containing the intrusion, determining scope, restoring from clean backups and advising on PDPL breach notification obligations in Saudi Arabia or the UAE. If you are in an active incident, contact us directly rather than filling in a form.
Do we need to replace our IT provider or internal team?
No. We routinely work alongside internal IT and existing providers — security and IT operations are different disciplines. We define responsibilities clearly at the start so there is no ambiguity about who patches, who monitors and who responds.
