What’s included
What our SOC does for you
24/7 threat monitoring
Analysts watch alerts from your endpoints, servers, firewalls, cloud and Microsoft 365 around the clock, and investigate anything suspicious.
Managed endpoint protection
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) deployed, tuned and watched on laptops and servers, so ransomware and malicious activity are stopped and isolated.
Incident response
When an attack is confirmed we contain it with you, find how it got in, remove it and help you recover, then report what happened and what to fix.
Email and identity protection
Phishing, suspicious sign-ins and risky account changes in Microsoft 365 and Entra ID flagged and dealt with quickly.
Patch and vulnerability tracking
Missing patches and known vulnerabilities on your systems found, prioritized and tracked to closure with your IT team or ours.
Compliance reporting
Monthly reports on alerts, incidents and open risks, with the logs and records auditors ask for under the UAE IA Regulation, Dubai ISR and ADHICS.
How it works
From alert to closed incident
- 01
Detect
Your systems send alerts and logs to our SOC, 24 hours a day.
- 02
Triage
An analyst checks each alert, rules out false positives and rates the real ones by severity.
- 03
Respond
We contain the threat with actions you approve in advance, such as isolating a device or disabling an account, and call your named contacts.
- 04
Recover and report
We help restore systems, find the root cause and close the gap, then send a written incident report.

UAE requirements
Security rules UAE organizations work to
UAE IA Regulation
TDRA’s information assurance controls for government entities and designated critical entities, including security monitoring and incident management.
Dubai ISR
The Dubai Electronic Security Center’s regulation for Dubai government entities and the contractors who handle their information, including incident response duties.
ADHICS
The Department of Health – Abu Dhabi’s standard for health information, with controls for logging, monitoring and incident handling. Manaa runs ADHICS compliance end to end.
Data protection laws
The UAE PDPL, the DIFC Data Protection Law 2020 and the ADGM Data Protection Regulations 2021 all set duties for handling personal data breaches, including telling the regulator. Fast detection makes those duties easier to meet.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask
What are managed cyber security services?
Managed cyber security services means an outside provider monitors and protects your systems for you: watching for threats 24/7, managing security tools such as endpoint protection, and responding to incidents, for a fee agreed up front.
What is SOC as a service?
A security operations center (SOC) is the team and tools that monitor an organization for cyber threats and respond to them. SOC as a service gives you that capability 24/7 from a provider, without building your own team.
What is managed detection and response (MDR)?
MDR is a managed service that detects threats on your endpoints, servers, cloud and identities and responds to them, for example by isolating a device or disabling an account, rather than only sending alerts.
Is your SOC staffed 24/7?
Yes. Monitoring, triage and incident response run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and public holidays.
Which security tools do you work with?
We work with the security tools you already license, or recommend, deploy and run a monitoring and endpoint protection stack for you. You keep ownership of your data and configurations.
Can our security logs stay in the UAE?
Yes. Monitoring can run in your own cloud tenancy in a UAE region or on your own premises, so logs and alerts stay in the country.
What happens when you detect an attack?
An analyst confirms it, contains it with actions agreed with you in advance, such as isolating a device or disabling an account, and calls your named contacts. We then lead the investigation and recovery and send a written report.
Do you help with UAE IA, Dubai ISR and ADHICS audits?
Yes. Our monthly reports, incident records and log retention give auditors evidence for the monitoring and incident management controls in these frameworks, and Manaa, our compliance platform, can run the full compliance program.
Are you a cyber security company in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Birbal AI is headquartered in Abu Dhabi and provides managed security, 24/7 SOC monitoring and incident response across the UAE, alongside our own security and compliance software.
