Who This Audit Is For

Our smart contract audits serve organizations where security is not optional—where contracts handle real value and operate under regulatory observation.

Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs)

Exchanges / Broker-Dealers / OTC desks

Tokenization platforms (RWA and other issuance models)

DeFi protocols preparing for mainnet

Enterprises integrating blockchain into regulated workflows

Funds and investors needing technical due diligence

If your contracts move real value or touch real users, an audit is a baseline requirement.

What We Audit

Comprehensive coverage across code architecture, security vulnerabilities, and economic risk vectors.

Code & Architecture

Access control and privilege boundaries

Upgradeability patterns (proxy, beacon, etc.)

Cross-contract interactions and dependencies

Oracle integration assumptions

Security Vulnerabilities

Reentrancy / state manipulation

Authorization flaws and signature issues

Front-running / MEV exposure

Denial-of-service vectors

Unsafe external calls / delegatecall risk

Economic & Logic Risks

Mint/burn logic integrity

Fee and incentive manipulation

Rounding, pricing, slippage edge cases

Governance attack surfaces

Withdrawal / liquidity edge conditions

Supported Blockchains & Stacks

Primary focus: Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains including Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BSC, and Base.

We audit Solidity contracts and support modern development frameworks including Hardhat and Foundry. Private and permissioned EVM deployments are supported when properly scoped.

Non-standard architectures are supported via scoped engagement—no assumptions.

Audit Methodology

A structured, regulator-defensible process designed for thoroughness and accountability.

Step 01
Scope & Threat Modeling
01
Inventory contracts, dependencies, and value flow; define attack surface and threat actors relevant to your deployment context.
Step 02
Automated + Manual Review
02
Static analysis plus line-by-line manual review by senior auditors; validate logic against intended behavior and specification.
Step 03
Exploit Simulation & Validation
03
Construct attack scenarios; confirm exploitability under realistic conditions; eliminate false positives through verification.
Step 04
Reporting + Remediation + Retest
04
Actionable remediation guidance; post-fix verification; final attestation readiness for stakeholders and regulators.

What You Receive

Executive summary (board and stakeholder ready)

Risk severity matrix with CVSS
scoring

Full technical audit report (reproduction steps, impact)

Post-fix retest and closure verification

Optional: regulator-facing summary upon request

Optional: attestation letter after successful remediation

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about smart contract audits in the UAE.

What do you need from us to start a smart contract audit?
We require access to your codebase (GitHub/GitLab repo or ZIP), any available documentation or specifications, and a technical point of contact. For scoping, provide the list of in-scope contracts and deployment targets. NDA can be executed before code sharing if required.
Do you provide a retest after fixes?
Yes. All audit engagements include one round of remediation verification at no additional cost. We verify that identified vulnerabilities have been correctly addressed and issue an updated report confirming closure status.
Can you audit upgradeable proxy contracts?
Yes. We have extensive experience auditing proxy patterns including Transparent Proxy, UUPS, Beacon, and Diamond. We review both the proxy mechanism and implementation logic, including upgrade authorization controls.
Do you cover tokenomics and economic attack vectors?
Yes. Our audits include economic risk assessment covering incentive manipulation, governance attacks, oracle dependencies, and value extraction scenarios. This is not just code review—we evaluate business logic under adversarial conditions.
Can the report be shared with investors/regulators?
Yes. Our reports are designed for third-party consumption. We provide executive summaries suitable for non-technical stakeholders and can prepare regulator-facing documentation upon request.
Do you sign NDA and handle sensitive code securely?
Yes. We execute NDAs as standard practice and maintain strict confidentiality protocols. Code is handled in isolated environments with access controls, and all materials are securely deleted after engagement completion per agreed retention terms.
How long does a smart contract audit take?
Audit duration depends on scope and complexity. Small to medium contracts typically take 7-10 business days. Complex multi-contract systems with cross-chain interactions require 2-3 weeks. Large protocols, bridges, and custom stacks are scoped individually. We prioritize thoroughness over speed—rushed audits miss critical vulnerabilities.
Which blockchains and smart contract languages do you support?
Our primary focus is Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains including Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BSC, Base, and Avalanche. We audit Solidity contracts and support Hardhat, Foundry, and Truffle frameworks. For non-EVM chains like Solana (Rust), Cosmos (CosmWasm), or custom VMs, we provide scoped engagements with specialized auditors.
What is the cost of a smart contract audit in UAE?
Audit pricing is based on lines of code, contract complexity, and scope. Simple token contracts start from AED 35,000, while complex DeFi protocols range from AED 75,000 to AED 250,000+. We provide fixed-price quotes after initial scoping to ensure budget clarity. All quotes include post-fix retest and stakeholder-ready reports.
Do you provide VARA-compliant audit reports for crypto licensing?
Yes. ITSEC is experienced with VARA (Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority) requirements for VASPs. Our audit reports are structured to support regulatory submissions, including executive summaries, risk matrices, and attestation letters suitable for VARA compliance packages.
