Where your data goes, and what covers it

Customer data is hosted in Mumbai, India. The PDPL’s cross-border rules depend on executive regulations that were pending when we checked, so the transfer terms are agreed with you at contract stage on the Data Processing Addendum. If your entity sits in the DIFC or ADGM, that free zone’s own data protection regime applies instead; check which one governs you.

The full table of instruments by regime is section 5 of the Data Processing Addendum; the current state of every certification we do and do not hold is on the trust centre.

The accessibility target for United Arab Emirates

WCAG at the level your policy names; the federal digital accessibility policy references WCAG. The audit runs against WCAG 2.2 A, AA and AAA and reports at the level you select.

Audits map findings to sixty-six country standards and export a conformance report; how the accessibility module works.

The words United Arab Emirates uses for the need, mapped

The same job has a different name in every market, and sometimes the honest answer is that the name describes a service we are not.

Penetration testing UAE, pen testing companies Dubai, VAPT Dubai

Dokimore is a platform, not a testing-services company. Its scanner is the vulnerability assessment and its authorised exploitation step is the penetration test, run by your team or your provider against systems whose ownership is proven.

Security testing

Software testing company Dubai

The platform your QA team runs: a real-browser recorder, API studio, load testing and accessibility audits on one recorded asset.

Billing and support hours

Prices are quoted in US dollars on every plan, before any tax your jurisdiction applies to imported software services. Self-serve plans are paid by card; Enterprise agreements are invoiced. If procurement needs a quotation with your tax identifiers, ask through the contact form (topic: billing).

The UAE is 1.5 hours behind Indian Standard Time, so the working days overlap almost entirely. Response targets by plan are on the service levels page.

Plans and caps are on the pricing page; response targets by plan are on the service levels page.

Questions teams in United Arab Emirates ask

Do you provide penetration testing as a service in the UAE?

No. Dokimore is software: your team, or a provider you appoint, runs its scans and authorised exploitation steps against systems whose ownership has been proven. Every confirmed finding carries the request, the response and a proof of concept, which is the material a report is written from.

Can our data be hosted in the UAE?

Cloud tenants are hosted in Mumbai, India. Enterprise customers who need the platform inside the UAE run it on their own infrastructure, on-premise or air-gapped, with feature parity.

What covers the transfer under the PDPL?

The PDPL delegates its cross-border detail to executive regulations that were still pending when we checked, so we agree the transfer terms with you at contract stage on the Data Processing Addendum rather than asserting a mechanism that does not yet exist. DIFC and ADGM entities follow their free zone’s regime.
