FAQ

Cyronix Dev & Security offers a fully integrated portfolio of cybersecurity and web development services for Dubai and MENA-region businesses. On the security side, we deliver penetration testing (black-box, grey-box, and red team engagements), network and cloud security hardening for AWS and Azure, and strategic security consulting covering ISO 27001, NESA, GDPR, and DFSA compliance. On the development side, we engineer high-performance web applications with React and Next.js, custom backend systems in Python, Rust, and Go, DevOps automation with CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes, and full e-commerce platforms. Both practices operate under one roof — security is built into every development engagement from day one. Every project is handled by senior-level practitioners, no juniors and no subcontractors, delivering measurable outcomes including Lighthouse 95+ scores, CVSS-scored vulnerability findings, and documented remediation guides. All work is available remotely across EMEA time zones.

Project timelines at Cyronix depend on scope and complexity, but we provide fixed estimates after a free scoping consultation so there are never any surprises. A standard marketing or e-commerce website typically requires two to four weeks from kickoff to production deployment, including design, development, security review, and performance optimisation. A penetration testing engagement — whether web application, API, network, or cloud — runs one to two weeks for the active testing phase, followed by report delivery within 72 hours. Custom software projects such as automation pipelines, backend systems, or microservices architectures typically require four to twelve weeks depending on integration complexity. For ongoing retainer work, we structure monthly engagements with clearly defined deliverables and weekly progress updates. Every engagement begins with a detailed project brief, milestone schedule, and agreed scope to ensure the timeline we commit to is the timeline we deliver.

Yes — Cyronix is based in Dubai at Dubai Internet City, but we work with clients across EMEA and globally. Our distributed delivery model is built for remote collaboration from the ground up. All project communication, reporting, sprint reviews, and security briefings are conducted remotely using secure, encrypted channels. We have successfully delivered penetration testing engagements, web development projects, and security consulting mandates for clients in the UK, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, France, and the United States. Our team operates across multiple time zones with overlap hours covering UAE Standard Time (UTC+4), Central European Time, and UK time. All documentation and reporting is available in English, with Arabic available for GCC clients. There is no premium for remote engagement — our pricing, process, and response times are identical whether you are based in Dubai Internet City or overseas.

A Cyronix penetration test follows a structured five-phase methodology aligned with OWASP Testing Guide (WSTG), PTES, and OSSTMM standards. The engagement begins with scoping and reconnaissance — we agree on target systems, rules of engagement, and timeline before any active testing begins. Phase two is threat modelling, where we map your specific attack surface based on your industry and technology stack. Phase three is active exploitation: our testers attempt to compromise target systems using the same techniques used by real attackers, replicating a genuine threat scenario. Every finding is assigned a CVSS 3.1 score with a full technical description, evidence screenshots, and a step-by-step remediation guide written for your development team. Phase five is the re-test: after you remediate, we re-verify every finding at no additional charge to confirm vulnerabilities are closed. Deliverables include an executive summary for leadership and a detailed technical report.

Yes — most Cyronix clients continue working with us well after their initial engagement through retainer-based support and maintenance programmes. For web development clients, we offer monthly maintenance packages covering security patch management, performance monitoring, feature development, and emergency response. For cybersecurity clients, we provide continuous security monitoring through SIEM integration, quarterly vulnerability assessments, incident response retainers, and annual penetration testing programmes. Support retainers are structured as monthly, quarterly, or annual packages with clearly defined service level agreements, including maximum response time commitments for critical incidents. Enterprise clients on annual retainers receive dedicated account management, priority scheduling for new engagements, and discounted rates on additional services. Our monitoring clients benefit from proactive alerting when new critical vulnerabilities are disclosed that affect their technology stack.

Cyronix Dev & Security differs from conventional agencies by integrating cybersecurity and software development as a single unified practice rather than separate services. Most digital agencies build web applications first and then bring in a security consultant after deployment — a process that routinely misses architectural vulnerabilities that are expensive to fix retrospectively. Cyronix embeds threat modelling, OWASP-aligned secure coding standards, and penetration testing into every phase of the development lifecycle from initial architecture through to post-launch monitoring. This means clients receive a web application or custom software platform that has been actively tested against real-world attack scenarios before go-live. The agency is based in Dubai and holds memberships with OWASP, ISC2, and the Linux Foundation. All client engagements are handled by senior-level practitioners holding OSCP, OSEP, and CISSP certifications — not juniors or subcontractors.

Cyronix Dev & Security has deep delivery experience across six primary verticals: fintech and financial services, healthcare and medical technology, e-commerce and retail, logistics and supply chain, enterprise SaaS, and government and critical infrastructure. In fintech, we have guided DIFC-regulated companies through DFSA compliance requirements and conducted penetration tests ahead of Series A funding rounds. In healthcare, we have migrated sensitive patient data infrastructure to HIPAA-compliant AWS architectures and implemented NESA-aligned security programmes. In logistics, we have built real-time automation systems reducing processing time by up to 80%. Each industry comes with its own regulatory landscape, threat model, and performance requirements — and we tailor our approach accordingly. Our consultants bring regulatory knowledge of NESA, DFSA, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA to every engagement.

Yes — all Cyronix project engagements are offered on a fixed-price basis after a free scoping consultation. We do not bill hourly for project work. Instead, we invest time upfront to fully understand your requirements, then provide a written proposal with a fixed total cost, clear deliverables, milestones, and a delivery timeline. Fixed-price proposals cover every aspect of the engagement: design, development or testing, security review, reporting, and any agreed revision cycles. The proposal also defines the acceptance criteria — the specific standards your deliverable must meet before the engagement is considered complete. For ongoing retainer work such as security monitoring or iterative development, we offer monthly and annual packages with fixed monthly costs and defined service levels. Our free consultation takes approximately 30 minutes and is entirely without obligation — no pitch, no pressure, just a direct technical conversation about your requirements.
