Five major regulations are now in force. Non-compliance isn't a fine — it's a business-ending event. And compliance consultants charge more than most SMEs can afford.
PDPL, Cybersecurity Law, NESA, KHDA, DHA, DIFC, ADGM — depending on your sector, free zone, and data types, different rules apply. Most businesses don't know which ones.
PwC, EY, Deloitte charge six figures for a compliance assessment. You get a PDF. Six months later, everything has changed and the PDF is stale.
Regulations update. Staff change. Systems evolve. A point-in-time audit gives you a snapshot. Shield gives you a live feed.
Shield isn't a dashboard you log into. It's an autonomous system that delivers intelligence to you.
Board-ready PDF mapping every finding to the specific UAE regulation it violates. Severity ratings, fix priorities, remediation steps.
Letter grade (A through F) with numerical score. Benchmarked against UAE industry averages. Track your improvement month over month.
Every compliance gap mapped to the regulation, the risk level, the fix, and the estimated effort. Prioritised so you fix the highest-risk items first.
Month-over-month security posture tracking. See which fixes improved your score, which areas regressed, and where to focus next.
If a security header gets removed, an SSL certificate approaches expiry, or a new vulnerability is detected — Shield alerts you immediately. Not next month.
Not just "fix your CSP" — actual code snippets and configuration steps for your specific stack. Nginx? Apache? Vercel? Cloudflare? We generate the exact fix.
