Dynova Security For Startups

Dynova provides virtual CISO services through a fractional model, enabling pre-seed to Series C startups to build robust cybersecurity and privacy programs without the cost of a full-time hire. The focus is on reducing business risk, enhancing operational resilience, and ensuring readiness for certifications such as ISO 27001, which are critical for attracting clients, partners, and investors. Dynova has developed security programs for several Forbes Middle East–listed startups and partners with leading venture capital firms to deliver security support to some of the most promising startups in the Middle East. The work has been recognised with multiple regional CISO awards, including the prestigious CISO Excellence Award from IDC. The single-subscription model-priced comparably to a single affordable developer, includes risk assessments, penetration testing, strategy design, control implementation, vendor selection, training, compliance support (GDPR, UAE PDPL, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, VARA), ongoing advisory, and progress tracking. This approach provides startups with enterprise-grade security leadership from day one, building investor-ready foundations while keeping costs predictable and aligned with growth objectives.
