Certified Expertise, Not Just Claims.
Anyone can put "cybersecurity expert" on a website. What actually matters is whether the people doing the work have been independently tested against a real standard. Here is exactly what our team holds, and why each credential matters for the work we do for you.
Individually Tested, Not Self-Declared
These are held by named individuals on our team, each requiring a proctored exam and ongoing continuing education to maintain. Engagements are staffed based on which of our team holds the credential relevant to the work.
Certified Information Systems Security Professional
The credential most widely recognised as the standard for senior security leadership, covering all eight CISSP domains from governance and risk to security architecture and operations. Our vCISO engagements are led by CISSP holders.
Certified in Cybersecurity
A foundational credential validating core security principles, incident response, network security, and access control fundamentals, held across our broader analyst bench delivering VMaaS and assessment work.
Standards We're Personally Certified Against
Team members hold Lead Auditor or Lead Implementer certifications against these ISO standards, which is what qualifies us to run your organisation's own certification programme end to end rather than simply advise from the sidelines.
Information Security Management
The international standard for Information Security Management Systems. We run ISO 27001 programmes for clients from initial gap assessment through the certification audit itself. See our vCISO service.
AI Management System
The newest of the three, governing how organisations responsibly manage AI systems. Increasingly relevant as GCC businesses adopt AI tooling under scrutiny from regulators and enterprise clients alike.
Privacy Information Management
Extends 27001 specifically to privacy management, directly relevant to PDPL and UAE FDPL compliance work. Backs the technical rigour behind our vDPO service.
Certified on the Tools We Actually Use
Platform-specific certifications matter because generic familiarity with a category of tool is different from tested, hands-on proficiency with the specific platform running in your environment. This is what backs the technical delivery behind VMaaS.
Qualys Certified Specialist
Continuous vulnerability scanning and asset inventory, the core scanning engine behind our VMaaS coverage.
Zscaler Certified Professional
Zero trust network access and cloud security architecture, relevant to network segmentation work under VMaaS.
Proofpoint Certified Specialist
Email threat protection and phishing defence, directly relevant given how many incidents start with a phishing email.
Trend Micro Certified Professional
Endpoint and cloud workload protection, supporting the technical controls layer behind our VMaaS engagements.
Certification Questions Answered
These are individual, personally-held certifications earned by members of our team. Each engagement is staffed with practitioners holding the specific credentials relevant to that work, such as CISSP for vCISO engagements or an ISO 27001 Lead Auditor certification for certification support.
Vendor certifications confirm hands-on, tested proficiency with the specific platforms used to deliver VMaaS and related technical work, rather than general familiarity. That translates into faster, more accurate configuration and fewer false positives in your results.
Yes. All certifications listed here require ongoing continuing education credits or periodic re-examination to remain valid, and we track renewal dates internally as part of our own quality assurance process.
