Security Posture Analysis for Cloud-Native Web Platforms

Security Posture Analysis for Cloud-Native Web Platforms in Dubai

Understand exactly how secure your web platforms really are. Stralya’s Security Posture Analysis gives CTOs and digital leaders in Dubai a clear, actionable view of risks across their cloud-native applications, infrastructure, and delivery practices—so you can harden what matters before it breaks.

What is included

What You Get with Stralya’s Security Posture Analysis

Our Security Posture Analysis is designed as a complete, self-contained engagement for organisations that rely on cloud-native web platforms to run business-critical operations in Dubai and across the GCC.

Core components of the engagement

Discovery workshop with your technical and business stakeholders to align on scope, risk appetite, and critical user journeys.

Review of web applications, APIs, and authentication flows, including access control, data handling, and error management.

Cloud configuration analysis on AWS, Azure, or GCP: IAM, networking, storage, encryption, logging, and monitoring.

Assessment of CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, and environment separation (development, staging, production).

Threat and risk mapping tailored to your business context and regulatory expectations in the UAE and GCC.

Comprehensive Security Posture Report, including risk ratings, technical findings, and recommended controls.

Prioritised remediation roadmap, structured as a backlog that your internal or external teams can execute.

Live presentation and Q&A session with your leadership and engineering teams to ensure full understanding and alignment.

Optional add-ons you can activate

Follow-up implementation project on a fixed-price basis to execute the most critical remediation items.

Ongoing security coaching for your engineering team, with regular review sessions and backlog refinement.

Integration of security controls into your CI/CD pipelines, including automated checks and policy enforcement.

Periodic re-assessment (quarterly or bi-annual) to track progress and adjust your security roadmap as your platform evolves.

Project rescue engagement, where Stralya takes over a struggling web platform to stabilise, secure, and complete it.

Every organisation in Dubai has a different risk profile, technology stack, and level of internal maturity. Stralya adapts the depth and focus of the Security Posture Analysis to your reality, while maintaining the same level of rigour, documentation, and ownership of results.

Designed for Dubai’s Most Demanding Digital Stakeholders

Enterprises and corporate groups

For CIOs and Digital Transformation Officers who manage complex portfolios of web platforms, our analysis provides a clear, consolidated view of risk across key applications and environments, supporting board-level decisions and investment planning.

Government and semi-government entities

Public-sector organisations in Dubai and the wider UAE benefit from a structured, well-documented assessment that aligns with international standards while remaining pragmatic and implementable within local constraints.

Startups and scale-ups

Fast-growing companies can quickly understand which security gaps could threaten funding rounds, partnerships, or market expansion—and fix them before they become blockers.

Organisations rescuing or taking over projects

If you are inheriting a legacy platform or taking back control from a previous vendor, our Security Posture Analysis is the fastest way to assess the real state of security and define a safe, controlled path forward.

How we run a Security Posture Analysis

A Structured, Fixed-Scope Security Review for Dubai Organisations

Stralya executes Security Posture Analysis as a fixed-price, time-boxed engagement. Every mission is led by senior cloud-native engineers who combine application, infrastructure, and process security. Our objective is not to overwhelm you with findings, but to give you a prioritised, realistic roadmap that your team can execute—internally or with our support.

We start with a focused workshop involving your CTO, security owner, or product lead. Together, we identify the applications, APIs, environments (dev, staging, production), and cloud accounts in scope. We clarify business-critical user journeys, data sensitivity, and any regulatory or internal compliance requirements relevant in the UAE.

Our team securely receives read-only access to your repositories, CI/CD pipelines, cloud consoles, and monitoring tools. We review existing architecture diagrams, threat models (if any), and previous pentest or audit reports. When documentation is missing, we reconstruct the picture from code and configuration.

We review your web applications and APIs with a cloud-native perspective: authentication and authorisation flows, session management, data validation, secrets handling, logging, and error exposure. We look for common and advanced vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and insecure patterns that typically appear in fast-growing projects.

We examine your cloud accounts (AWS, Azure, GCP) and supporting services: network segmentation, identity and access management, storage policies, encryption, backups, monitoring, and alerting. We highlight misconfigurations that could expose your data, allow lateral movement, or break availability of critical services.

Security posture is not only about code and infrastructure. We evaluate your CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, access management, and incident response readiness. We identify gaps such as missing approvals, weak separation between environments, or lack of rollback and recovery procedures.

You receive a clear, structured report: an executive summary for leadership, a technical deep-dive for engineers, and a prioritised remediation backlog. Each finding is risk-rated and mapped to concrete actions, recommended owners, and suggested timelines. We walk you through the report live, answer questions, and align on next steps.

Find Commonly Asked Questions

No. A penetration test focuses mainly on exploiting vulnerabilities from an attacker’s perspective, usually over a short period. Our Security Posture Analysis is broader: we review your application, cloud configuration, CI/CD pipelines, and operational practices. We do identify vulnerabilities, but we also analyse root causes and structural risks. Many clients in Dubai use our analysis to prepare for or follow up on a pentest.

For a typical cloud-native web platform, the engagement lasts between 2 and 4 weeks from kickoff to final presentation. The exact duration depends on the number of applications, environments, and cloud accounts in scope. During scoping, we agree on a realistic timeline and keep it fixed.

We mainly need: a decision-maker or sponsor, technical contacts (DevOps, lead developer, or architect), and secure, read-only access to your repositories, cloud accounts, and monitoring tools. If access cannot be granted directly, we can work in guided sessions with your team, but this may extend the timeline.

Yes. Stralya is a cloud-native web development company with a project-first mindset. After the analysis, we can execute a fixed-price hardening project or provide senior staff augmentation to work alongside your team. Some clients also ask us to take over and stabilise a struggling project as part of a broader rescue mission.

Yes. We are used to working with organisations that manage critical or sensitive digital assets. Our approach is structured, documented, and aligned with international best practices, while remaining pragmatic for the local regulatory context in the UAE and GCC.
