Cybersecurity Technical Security Assessments

At Nexain Arabia, we provide deep technical security assessments to understand how your organization would stand up against real attacks.

We combine offensive and defensive expertise to test applications, infrastructure, identities, and now AI-powered systems, giving you a clear view of your current exposure and a practical roadmap to reduce risk.

4.1 Red Team Operations

  • Simulated real-world attack campaigns against people, processes, and technology
  • Testing detection and response across the full kill chain (recon to impact)
  • Covert exercises to measure how far an attacker could actually go inside your environment
  • Executive and technical reporting with clear remediation and improvement priorities

 

4.2 Blue Team Monitoring & Response Assessments

  • Evaluation of SOC processes, alerts, and playbooks during simulated attacks
  • Tuning of SIEM rules, detection logic, and use-cases for higher signal and lower noise
  • Assessment of incident response procedures, escalation paths, and containment actions
  • Recommendations to improve monitoring coverage, logging, and forensic readiness

 

4.3 Offensive Security Assessments

  • Adversary-style testing of critical systems, networks, and exposed services
  • Scenario-based attacks targeting crown jewels (ERP, payment systems, email, etc.)
  • Privilege escalation, lateral movement, and persistence testing where in-scope
  • Actionable guidance to close identified gaps in people, process, and technology

 

4.4 Internal & External VAPT

(Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing)

  • External VAPT for internet-facing assets, gateways, VPNs, and cloud workloads
  • Internal VAPT for corporate networks, servers, and internal web applications
  • Automated scanning plus manual validation to reduce false positives
  • Risk-based reporting with severity, impact, and remediation recommendations

 

4.5 Mobile Application Security Testing

  • Security testing of Android and iOS applications (binaries and APIs)
  • Assessment of authentication, authorization, and data storage practices
  • Analysis of API calls, backend communications, and encryption usage

4.7 Compromise Assessment & Threat Hunting

  • Review of endpoints, servers, and logs for signs of current or past compromise
  • Threat hunting based on known attacker tools, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)
  • Identification of suspicious behaviors, persistence mechanisms, and anomalies
  • Containment, eradication, and hardening guidance where issues are found

 

4.8 API Security Testing

  • Security assessment of internal and external APIs supporting web and mobile apps
  • Testing of authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and input validation
  • Detection of common API vulnerabilities (broken object level auth, data exposure, etc.)
  • Recommendations for secure API design, gateway policies, and lifecycle controls

 

4.9 AI & LLM / Agent Security Testing

  • Security assessments for AI-powered applications, chatbots, and agents
  • Testing for prompt injection, data leakage, abuse of tools/actions, and jailbreaks
  • Verification of access controls and data segmentation for AI-connected systems
  • Evaluation of logging, auditability, and guardrails around AI responses and actions

How We Work

Business first, then technology

We start with your processes, risks, and constraints – not with a specific tool or vendor. Only then do we talk stacks, platforms or products.

Design + Implementation + Operations

We don’t just write reports and walk away. We can:
• Help you design the architecture and controls
• Implement the systems, integrations and security
• Operate them day-to-day as an outsourced team That means there’s a straight line from PowerPoint to production.

Regional Understanding, Global Practices

We design our services specifically for organizations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf:
• Awareness of data residency requirements and the need to keep critical data and workloads within the Kingdom where required.
• Alignment with local and sectoral frameworks such as SAMA, CMA, NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC), and PDPL, alongside international standards like ISO and NIST (where applicable).
• Sensitivity to how regional organizations work in practice, governance structures, decision-making, and cultural expectations.
At the same time, Nexain Arabia methods are based on globally recognized good practices in software engineering, cybersecurity, cloud, and risk management.

Managed Security & IT Operations for a Shipping Group

A shipping group with offices across the region had limited in-house security capability and increasing exposure from online portals, remote access and vessel connectivity. Nexain Digital took over managed security and IT operations, establishing a virtual SOC, deploying SIEM and endpoint protection, hardening network and cloud environments, and running vulnerability and patch management. The group now has 24/7 visibility on threats, clear incident procedures, and a single point of contact for IT and cybersecurity operations.
