Email security and DLP services protecting UAE businesses

CYBERSECURITY SERVICES

Email Security & DLP Services

Most breaches start in the inbox. We stop the phishing, lock down what leaves, and keep your email trustworthy.

Email Security & DLP: Closing the Most Common Way In

Email security is still the gap most attacks walk through, a convincing impersonation, a malicious attachment, a link that looks fine until someone clicks it. It's also where sensitive data quietly leaks out, often by accident. We address both directions at once: what gets in, and what gets out.

Phishing and malware defence sits in front of your mailboxes, and data loss prevention sits behind them, so confidential information like client records, financials and contracts can't leave over email without the right controls. Policies are tuned to how your business actually works, not a generic template you'll spend months fighting.

IP Care deploys and manages leading email security platforms, Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Purview for Microsoft 365 estates, Proofpoint or Mimecast where you already run them. We match the platform to your environment, set the policies, watch the quarantine, and tune detection on a regular cycle so it keeps pace as attacks change.

Capabilities

What's Included

Anti-Phishing & Impersonation Defence

Catch spoofed senders, lookalike domains and CEO-fraud before they reach a mailbox. The attacks that fool people are the ones we tune hardest against.

Anti-Spam & Malware Filtering

Inbound mail is scanned, attachments sandboxed, and risky links rewritten, so a single click can't take down a workstation.

Email Encryption

Sensitive messages encrypted in transit and at rest, so financials and client records stay private even if a message goes astray.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Policies that recognise confidential data, card numbers, contracts, personal records, and stop it leaving over email unless it's meant to.

Authentication & Domain Hardening

SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured and enforced so attackers can't send mail as you, and your legitimate mail still lands.

Quarantine & Reporting

Held messages reviewed and released without a helpdesk ticket for every one, plus reporting your compliance team can actually use.

Why IP Care

What Sets Us Apart

Platform-matched, not vendor-tied

Microsoft Defender and Purview, Proofpoint, Mimecast. We deploy what fits your environment and stack, not the one product we'd rather sell.

Tuned to your business, not a template

DLP and phishing rules built around how your teams actually send and receive, so you get protection without drowning in false positives.

Operated, not just switched on

Detection drifts and attackers change tactics. We review quarantine, tune policies and adjust rules on a regular cycle.

Both directions covered

Inbound threat defence and outbound data loss prevention managed together, not as two disconnected tools.

Authentication done properly

SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up and enforced. The unglamorous work that quietly stops impersonation and protects deliverability.

Local engineers, UAE timezone

UAE-based engineers who understand the compliance environment, NESA, UAE PDPL and sector rules, available when your business is open.

Our Delivery Approach

How We Deliver

A proven, repeatable approach, used on every engagement.

Assess Mail Flow & Risk

Map your mail flow, current filtering, domains and where sensitive data lives, then baseline the gaps.

Deploy & Configure

Stand up the email security platform, connect it to your mail environment, and set inbound filtering and sandboxing.

Build DLP & Encryption Policies

Define what counts as sensitive, write the DLP rules, and turn on encryption for the messages that need it.

Harden Authentication

Configure and enforce SPF, DKIM and DMARC so no one can send mail as your domain.

Monitor & Tune

Watch quarantine, review detections, and tune policies on your agreed cycle as threats and your business change.

UAE Regulations

The Frameworks We Deliver Against

Every engagement is scoped with the rules your organisation answers to. These are the frameworks we assess, remediate and prepare evidence for.

NESA / UAE Information Assurance Standards

Mandatory for critical-sector entities in energy, government, banking, telecom, transport and healthcare. NESA was absorbed into the UAE Signals Intelligence Agency in 2020, but the standards are unchanged and still audited. See our NESA compliance programme.

UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL)

Governs how personal data is collected, stored and accessed. In practice it drives access controls, data classification, consent records and keeping data, including backups, inside the UAE where required.

ISO 27001

The international information security standard many UAE clients and partners ask for. A large share of its Annex A controls map to NESA requirements, so the two programmes can share evidence. See NESA vs ISO 27001.

PCI DSS

Required wherever card payments are stored, processed or transmitted, common in retail, hospitality and e-commerce. We run the gap assessment, remediation and audit preparation as part of our compliance services.

Buyer's Guide

How to Choose a Cybersecurity Services Provider in the UAE

Most UAE businesses we talk to are in the same position: security bolted on after the fact, default configurations never hardened, nobody watching overnight and no written incident response plan. These are the questions that separate a provider who will fix that from one who will sell you another tool.

Start with what you have to comply with

If you operate in a critical sector, NESA / UAE IAS applies whether or not you have started. If you hold personal data, the UAE PDPL applies. Your clients may also ask for ISO 27001 or PCI DSS. A good provider scopes the work around these from day one, rather than treating compliance as a separate project at the end. Our compliance services cover the gap assessment, remediation and audit evidence.

Ask who is watching at 2 am

24/7 monitoring means different things to different providers. Ask who triages the alerts, where they are based, what gets escalated and how fast. Ours is defined and documented before you go live: the scope of what is monitored, the alert thresholds and the escalation procedures.

Ask what happens when something gets through

No control stops everything. What matters is how quickly an incident is contained and how thoroughly it is understood afterwards. An incident response retainer means the response starts immediately instead of from a standing start. Our session hijacking case study shows what that looks like in practice, including an attack that bypassed both the password and MFA.

Fix identity first

Microsoft has reported that multi-factor authentication alone blocks more than 99% of account-compromise attempts, which is why identity hardening is one of the first things we fix: enforced MFA, Conditional Access and clean admin accounts in Microsoft Entra ID. It is the cheapest large reduction in risk most organisations can make.

Know whether you need services or advisory

Cybersecurity services defend and operate your environment day to day. Advisory designs where it should go: Zero Trust architecture, SASE, and board-level governance. Many organisations need both, and it helps when the same company can do both. See our cybersecurity advisory practice.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What does email security actually stop?

Phishing, sender impersonation, malicious attachments and spam coming in; and, with DLP, confidential data going out over email.

Do you work with Microsoft 365, or do I need a separate product?

For Microsoft 365 estates we use Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Purview natively; where you already run Proofpoint or Mimecast we deploy and manage those instead. We match your environment.

What is DLP and do I really need it?

Data Loss Prevention recognises sensitive content (financials, personal records, contracts) and stops it leaving over email unless permitted. If you handle client or regulated data, it's how you prove that data can't walk out the door by accident.

Will this break legitimate email or flood us with false positives?

That's why we tune policies to how your teams actually work, then review and adjust on an ongoing cycle rather than setting strict rules once and walking away.

Does this help with NESA or UAE PDPL compliance?

Encryption, DLP controls and audit-ready reporting map directly to the data-protection expectations under NESA and UAE PDPL, and give your compliance team the evidence they need.
