A full working day of overlap
The Gulf runs two and a half hours behind Pune, so your entire working day overlaps ours — and when on-site matters, it is a four-hour flight, not a project of its own.
By geography
The Gulf's frameworks, a time zone away
ISO 27001, PCI DSS and VAPT for UAE and Saudi organisations
UAE and Saudi organisations buying certification and testing work, and Indian companies following their customers into the GCC — served from India, two and a half hours behind you and a four-hour flight away.
How we deliver here
The practical details
Time zones, presence, contracting and where the work actually happens.
The region, named
We serve organisations in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain — with the ISO-led procurement style the region actually runs on.
Data residency, answered before you ask
Where evidence sits and who can reach it is a hard requirement here. We put the answer — platform, storage location and access — in the engagement terms, not in a follow-up email.
What we run for you
The work itself
Delivered by our specialists, not handed to you as a template pack.

How the engagement works
What actually happens
The same four beats every time, scoped to how this market buys.
Scope the obligations
Which frameworks your buyers and regulators actually ask for — certification, payments, testing — mapped before anything is built.
Build once, map many
One control set crosswalked to ISO 27001 and the frameworks procurement adds, so the second certificate is a mapping exercise.
Evidence continuously
Controls produce evidence as they run — with where that evidence sits agreed in writing at the start.
Carry the audits
We manage certification bodies and assessors, sit in fieldwork — flying in when on-site matters — and answer findings until they close.

Questions
What people ask in this market
That is agreed per engagement and written into the terms: which platform holds evidence, where it is stored and who can access it. Data residency is a hard requirement in this region and we treat it as one — if a specific residency constraint applies to you, it is scoped before work starts.
Yes, when the work calls for it — audits, workshops and assessments. The team is a four-hour flight away, and the two-and-a-half-hour time difference means remote sessions land inside your working day.
Usually with ISO 27001 if you do not hold it, since it anchors most Gulf procurement — then the payment and testing asks your specific buyers add. If you are already certified with us in India, the same control set carries over.
Our delivery centres on the international frameworks on this page — ISO, PCI DSS, SOC 2 and VAPT — which is what most regional procurement asks for. Where a local framework applies to you, we scope it honestly up front rather than claiming blanket coverage.
