Case Study

Leading UAE Financial Institution

1
The Challenge

A prominent UAE bank with over AED 50B in assets required comprehensive security testing before their annual regulatory audit. Previous assessments had missed critical vulnerabilities, leading to remediation delays and regulatory concerns.

2
Our Approach

Our team of 4 senior CREST-certified testers conducted a 3-week comprehensive assessment covering external infrastructure, internal network, web applications, and mobile banking apps. We employed a hybrid methodology combining automated scanning with extensive manual testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our services

The duration depends on the scope and complexity of the assessment. As a general guide:
  • Web Application Testing: 3–5 business days for a standard scope
  • Mobile App Testing: 4–6 business days for both iOS and Android
  • Network / Infrastructure: 5–10 business days depending on the number of hosts
  • Full Enterprise Assessment: 2–4 weeks covering all attack surfaces

After initial scoping, we provide a precise timeline and project plan before any engagement begins. Most clients receive their final report within 24–48 hours of testing completion.
Minimal to no disruption is our standard. We follow strict rules of engagement agreed upon before testing begins, and we tailor our approach to your operational needs:
  • Testing can be scheduled outside business hours or during maintenance windows
  • We use controlled, targeted techniques — never broad, destructive attacks
  • Denial-of-service style tests are only conducted with explicit written approval and on isolated environments
  • A dedicated point of contact is available throughout the engagement to immediately pause if needed

Our team has conducted assessments on live banking systems, hospitals, and government platforms in the UAE with zero operational incidents.
Every tester on our team holds a minimum of CREST CRT or OSCP certification. Our senior consultants carry multiple advanced credentials:
  • CREST CRT / CCT — UK's gold standard for penetration testers
  • OSCP / OSCE — Offensive Security certifications for hands-on exploitation
  • CEH — Certified Ethical Hacker (EC-Council)
  • CISSP — Certified Information Systems Security Professional
  • eWPT / eJPT — eLearnSecurity web and junior penetration tester

With an average of 7+ years of real-world pen testing experience per consultant, our team is among the most credentialed in the UAE.
Yes — our engagement doesn't end with the report. We provide full remediation support as part of our end-to-end service:
  • Step-by-step fix guidance for every vulnerability found, rated by priority
  • Developer-friendly recommendations including code snippets and configuration examples
  • Debrief call with your technical team to walk through findings and answer questions
  • Free re-test included — after you apply fixes, we verify remediation at no extra charge within 30 days

Our clients consistently achieve 100% remediation rates before their regulatory audits thanks to this hands-on support model.
Absolutely. ITSEC has deep expertise in UAE regulatory frameworks and maps all findings directly to applicable compliance requirements:
  • CBUAE — Central Bank of UAE cybersecurity guidelines for financial institutions
  • NESA — National Electronic Security Authority information assurance standards
  • VARA — Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority requirements for crypto platforms
  • ADIO / TDRA — Abu Dhabi and telecom regulatory standards
  • ISO/IEC 27001 — International standard aligned throughout all engagements

Our reports include a dedicated compliance mapping section so your team can present findings directly to regulators.
Our reports are built for two audiences — technical teams and executive leadership. Every report includes:
  • Executive Summary — high-level risk overview suitable for board and C-suite presentation
  • Vulnerability Detail — full description, evidence (screenshots/payloads), CVSS score, and CVE references
  • Risk Rating — Critical, High, Medium, Low, and Informational classifications
  • Remediation Steps — specific, actionable fix guidance per finding
  • Compliance Mapping — aligned to OWASP, NIST, CBUAE, and other relevant standards
  • Attack Path Diagrams — visual representations of how vulnerabilities chain together

Reports are delivered within 24–48 hours of test completion and are available in PDF format with a secure online portal.
Data privacy and confidentiality are paramount. Our handling protocol follows strict security standards:
  • NDA signed before engagement — all findings, data, and credentials are fully confidential
  • Sensitive data such as PII, credentials, or financial records are never extracted — only documented as proof of access
  • All captured evidence is stored on encrypted, air-gapped systems accessible only to the assigned team
  • Data is permanently deleted from ITSEC systems within 30 days of project closure
  • Testing activity logs are retained for audit purposes and made available to your compliance team on request

We operate under a strict Rules of Engagement (RoE) agreement signed by both parties before any testing begins — protecting you legally and operationally at every step.
