Meta description: Find out how CyberArrow expanded in Dubai to a global GRC player, driven by innovation, vision and ecosystems supported by Dubai.
The story of CyberArrow was initiated in a city of vision, courage and impossible dreams in a city by the name of Dubai. CyberArrow began with a single philosophy that compliance and cybersecurity do not need to be complicated and painful. The organizations ought to be in a position to control their governance, risk and compliance programs just the way they control their day-to-day operations.
That philosophy became a mission, which is to establish a platform to assist all organizations, both startups and businesses, automate compliance, enhance security, and become audit ready with zero touch.
The birth of CyberArrow
In the beginning, compliance was considered manual and time-consuming. Companies were having trouble with spreadsheets, documents that went on and manual audits. It was irritating, costly and time consuming.
This is where we saw the way to change things. CyberArrow was constructed as an automation platform of GRC (in the modern world) quick, intelligent, and easy to operate. ISO 27001 to SOX compliance, SOC 2, or SOX compliance The Companies have also been able to remain in compliance with our platform, saving them months of work and thousands of dollars annually.
We did not simply feel like facilitating compliance. We had a desire to make it automatic, smart and effortless.
Why Dubai was the perfect starting point
Dubai is not just a city. It is an attitude, the attitude that assumes putting ambition into practice.
The choice to start CyberArrow in Dubai exposed us to the international field of innovation and leadership. UAE has never been against progressive entrepreneurs, who do not want to be in the box, and that encouragement contributed significantly to our initial adventure.
The fact that we are surrounded by world-class infrastructure, a diverse business environment and a government that is open to technology made our scaling even more rapid than we had expected.
But more than that, in Dubai, we learnt that it is better to think on a global scale from the very beginning.
The global expansion
Initially a local vision, it then turned out to be an international movement. CyberArrow currently has clients in different continents, and it assists both the bigger and smaller organizations to automate their compliance programs.
We have become more than we are supposed to have grown in size, in magnitude.
- Multiple framework automation (ISO, SOC, NIST and SOX) is now supported on our platform.
- Our clients have been onboarded in the financial, government, healthcare, and tech industries.
- We are still establishing partnership and integrations which allow us to make compliance even easier.
Technology or revenue is not the only benchmark to our success. It is gauged by the trust that the clients give us to safeguard their most important resource i.e. data integrity.
Discussing the future with Sheikh Hamdan
In the course of the recent meeting with His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of the Emirates of Dubai, Amar Basic gave his say on the role of CyberArrow in the process of digital transformation in the UAE.
The interview was aimed at discussing the role of the automation technology developed by CyberArrow in improving governance, risk, and compliance ecosystem in any sector and the importance of the overall objective of the UAE to create a safe and innovative digital economy. They also collaborated on the concepts of using smart compliance tools such as CyberArrow GRC to make organizations more resilient, efficient, and competitive in the global market.
Future expansion plans were also discussed, with CyberArrow still planning to base its expansion in Dubai as its growth hub. Having a robust regulatory environment, a visionary leadership, and an endearing startup ecosystem, Dubai is at the heart of the CyberArrow mission of making GRC automation a global reach.
In the case of CyberArrow, these talks reiterate that the vision of digital excellence promised by the UAE is not merely a plan, but a living organism in which innovation and collaboration are the building blocks of tangible development.
Building a smarter future for compliance
The path that CyberArrow took is not that of doing what all the other people do. It is all about reconsidering what can be done.
We think compliance lies in the future, and it will be autonomous, with manual processes being substituted with automation, audits real-time, and businesses able to grow rather than do paperwork.
Our GRC platform is built for that future. It helps organizations:
- Control map evidence collection and mapping.
- Real-time monitoring of compliance.
- Get rid of the human factor with AI-based insights.
- Attain zero-touch audits without any doubt.
We are not merely abreast with the future of compliance, we are creating it.
The CyberArrow mindset
Behind the success of CyberArrow lies the mere attitude of being ready to innovate at all the time, to make it simple.
We do not only write code, our team resolves the issues that impact thousands of professionals that deal with risk and compliance on a daily basis. We are listening to our customers, we learn about their pain points, and we constantly keep on enhancing our platform so that compliance is always a smooth ride to take.
It is what made us different. We are not selling the software but the peace of mind.
From local impact to global leadership
Nowadays, CyberArrow is known as one of the strongest GRC automation systems that emerged in the Middle East.
However, more importantly, it is what can be achieved when innovation, vision and execution are combined. Our story of expansion in Dubai to the world is laced with the force of belief, belief in technology, in simplicity and in individuals who are bold enough to build.
Our mission will not change as we keep growing in other parts of the world, and it will be to enable any organization to handle compliance without any stress and be safe in the digital first world.
A message from Amar
When I look back at our beginning, I do not see any lines of code or business plans, I see people who had faith in something bigger than themselves.
The interview with Sheikh Hamdan was a proud one, yet a duty to continue elevating the bar, continue with innovation and the need to continue to be the face of Dubai in the international front.
CyberArrow has never been all about the development of software. It was the question of developing trust in technology, and demonstrating that the Middle East can become a technological leader in terms of cybersecurity and compliance innovation.
And we are not even starting.
Final thoughts: The road ahead
In the skyscraper of Dubai to the international boardrooms, the history of CyberArrow portrays one thing, the future lies with those who are innovative and with integrity.
We are proud of the distance we have already reached, however we are even more excited about the next step. With the trend of the world becoming more automated, CyberArrow will stay on top of the trend, assisting businesses in becoming compliant, not only at high speed and reliability, but also in a world that is actually effortless.
The world does not require additional tools. It needs trusted innovation. And that is what CyberArrow provides.
