Cybersecurity awareness training rollout cost in Abu Dhabi is driven by five honest variables: user count, platform tier, phishing-simulation frequency, Arabic content localisation, and ongoing campaign management. Platform licensing is charged per user per year and depends on tier — basic content libraries (KnowBe4 Silver, NINJIO basic) sit near the lower end; gamified and adaptive-learning platforms (Hoxhunt, KnowBe4 Diamond, Proofpoint Premium) sit higher. Licensing is only one part of the cost; rollout, integration and AMC are quoted separately. Emirtech, founded in 2018 and operating from Mussafah M44, Abu Dhabi, is an independent integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems): we scope the platform, integrate it with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, configure Active Directory or Entra ID sync, allow-list simulated phishing through your mail gateway, design simulation campaigns, and report risk-score trends to management. We are not affiliated with KnowBe4, Hoxhunt, Cofense, Proofpoint, NINJIO, Curricula, SANS, CybSafe or MetaCompliance — we procure whichever platform fits your budget, language needs and compliance scope (PDPL, NESA, ISO 27001 Annex A.6.3). We do not author Arabic-language training content; KnowBe4 and Proofpoint ship native Arabic modules, and localisation is platform-vendor scope, not ours. Rollout fees cover technical integration, pilot phishing campaign, baseline risk assessment and management dashboards — a one-time fee that depends on directory complexity and mail-flow architecture. Optional AMC covers phishing simulations, content roll-forward, new-joiner enrolment, reporting to your ISMS owner and executive readouts; the monthly fee depends on the user count, cadence and reporting depth. We do not publish a price list. We do not run a 24/7 SOC, we are not a certification body, and we will not promise PDPL or ISO certification — awareness training is one Annex control, not the whole programme.

Awareness training rollout capabilities
We scope, procure and integrate the awareness platform — KnowBe4, Hoxhunt, Cofense, Proofpoint or NINJIO — with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Entra ID or Active Directory, including user sync, group mapping and single sign-on.
We design and operate simulated phishing campaigns at a frequency agreed with you, allow-list sending infrastructure through your mail gateway, segment by department risk profile, and produce click-rate and report-rate trend dashboards for management.
We map training modules to your compliance obligations — PDPL staff-awareness measures, NESA control families, ISO 27001 Annex A.6.3 — and configure mandatory completion tracking so your ISMS owner has evidence for auditors.
We configure executive risk-score dashboards, department-level league tables and individual training-completion reports. Summaries go to your CISO or IT manager; readouts go to executive sponsors with remediation recommendations.
Share your user count, directory platform, mail-flow architecture, target compliance regime (PDPL, NESA, ISO 27001 or sector-specific) and Arabic-content requirement. We will recommend a platform tier, scope the rollout effort honestly, and quote licensing, one-time integration and optional AMC separately so you can compare line items with other integrators.

Cost drivers explained
Basic content libraries sit at the lower end; gamified or adaptive-learning tiers (Hoxhunt, KnowBe4 Diamond, Proofpoint Premium) sit higher. Multi-year commitments cut unit cost; small deals lose volume discount.
Simulation frequency is agreed with you; more frequent campaigns increase platform compute and campaign-management effort. Higher cadence reduces click-rate faster but requires more allow-listing maintenance and reporting cycles, raising AMC.
If Arabic content is mandatory for frontline staff, platform choice narrows — KnowBe4 and Proofpoint ship native Arabic modules; some vendors only offer subtitles. Localisation is platform-vendor scope, not Emirtech scope; we do not author Arabic content.
Self-managed deployments rely on your IT team to run campaigns and report. AMC, priced monthly after scoping, covers phishing simulations, content roll-forward, new-joiner enrolment, ISMS reporting and executive readouts.
Three integrators will quote three different totals for the same headcount. Read the line items carefully and check the following scope boundaries:

Common questions
Per-user-per-year licensing depends on the platform tier and the number of users. Basic content libraries (KnowBe4 Silver, NINJIO basic) sit at the lower end; gamified and adaptive-learning tiers (Hoxhunt, KnowBe4 Diamond, Proofpoint Security Awareness Premium) sit higher. Volume discounts usually apply at higher user counts; multi-year commitments can reduce unit cost further. We do not publish a price list; we send a written, itemised quotation once we know your user count and compliance scope.
No. Arabic content authoring is platform-vendor scope, not integrator scope. KnowBe4 and Proofpoint ship native Arabic modules; some smaller vendors only provide subtitles. We will help you assess which platform's Arabic library matches your dialect and module-count requirements before procurement.
No. Awareness training supports one specific control — ISO 27001 Annex A.6.3, NESA awareness families, PDPL staff-awareness measures — not the entire compliance regime. Certification requires a registered certification body. We deliver the training control honestly; we do not promise certification.
Rollout typically covers directory integration (Entra ID, AD, Google Workspace, Okta), single sign-on configuration, mail-gateway allow-listing for simulated phishing, baseline phishing campaign, content library configuration, dashboard setup and admin training. The cost depends on directory complexity and mail architecture, and it is quoted as a written, itemised figure after we review your environment.
Yes. AMC covers phishing simulations, content roll-forward, new-joiner enrolment, mandatory training tracking, ISMS reporting and executive readouts. The monthly cost depends on the number of users, campaign cadence and reporting depth; we do not publish a price list and quote AMC in writing after scoping.
