What does Emirtech actually deliver for Microsoft Endpoint DLP in Abu Dhabi?
Emirtech Technology is a systems integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) founded in 2018, based at M44, Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi, and reachable on +971 55 651 7843. We implement Microsoft Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (Endpoint DLP) as a workload within Microsoft Purview, extending Purview DLP policies to Windows 10/11 Enterprise and macOS (the latest three major versions Microsoft supports) endpoints across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Our delivery covers tenant prerequisites (Microsoft 365 onboarding, device onboarding via Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Intune or script-based packages), Sensitive Information Types (SITs) for built-in PII/PCI/financial patterns plus custom regex and keyword dictionary classifiers, Trainable Classifiers where applicable, Sensitivity Labels (MIP) integration, and Adaptive Protection tied to Insider Risk Management signals so controls auto-tighten for elevated-risk users. We configure egress controls for USB and removable storage, Bluetooth transfer, network share copy, print, clipboard/copy-paste, browser uploads (Edge native, Chrome/Firefox via Purview extension) and cloud sync clients (OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, Box). Policies are tuned with audit-mode baselines before move-to-block, with policy tips, user justification prompts and override workflows where the business requires them. We are not a Microsoft Solutions Partner-tier specialised partner of any solution area, not a Microsoft FastTrack-Ready Partner, and we do not operate a 24/7 SOC. We are not SIRA-licensed (Dubai), and we do not hold ISO 27001, NESA, ADHICS or PDPL certifications — our Control4 work is installation through a third-party dealer. Required licensing for Endpoint DLP includes Microsoft 365 E5, E5 Compliance, or the E5 Information Protection & Governance add-on; we procure via authorised UAE Microsoft channel partners. Typical use cases include PDPL, ADHICS, PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 data-exfiltration prevention. To scope an Endpoint DLP rollout, call +971 55 651 7843 or email [email protected].
Endpoint DLP capabilities we configure
Microsoft Endpoint DLP controls — Windows and macOS
Network and cloud egress controls
Restrict copy to network shares, browser uploads via Edge plus Chrome and Firefox with the Purview extension, cloud sync clients (OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, Box), and unallowed apps that attempt to read sensitive items.
Sensitive Information Types and labels
Configure built-in SITs (PII, PCI, IBAN, Emirates ID patterns), custom regex and keyword classifiers, plus Sensitivity Label integration so DLP enforces policy on labelled content across Office, PDF and supported file types.
Adaptive Protection and Defender integration
Integrate Insider Risk Management signals with Adaptive Protection so policies auto-tighten for elevated-risk users, and onboard devices via Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for unified telemetry and alerting.

Use cases and compliance alignment
Where Microsoft Endpoint DLP fits
PDPL and ADHICS data-handling controls
Support UAE Federal PDPL and Abu Dhabi ADHICS data-handling expectations by preventing unauthorised copy of personal data to removable media, personal cloud accounts and unsanctioned web destinations from corporate endpoints.
PCI DSS cardholder data scoping
Detect PAN and track data via built-in credit card SITs, block egress to USB and cloud sync, and reduce PCI DSS scope on Windows and macOS workstations that handle cardholder data in retail, hospitality and finance contexts.
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 evidence
Produce reviewable Purview activity reports, DLP rule matches and policy override logs that map to ISO 27001 Annex A controls and SOC 2 Common Criteria for confidentiality and monitoring of information assets.
Insider risk and offboarding scenarios
Pair Endpoint DLP with Insider Risk Management to detect bulk downloads, USB copies and cloud uploads from departing users, with Adaptive Protection automatically applying stricter DLP rules during notice periods.
Scope — what we deliver and explicitly do not
Microsoft Endpoint DLP is a configuration and tuning discipline, not a one-click install. We are transparent about which parts of the engagement Emirtech performs as a local integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) and which require Microsoft, an authorised distributor or another specialised party.
- We deliver: Microsoft Purview Endpoint DLP configuration on Windows 10/11 and macOS, Defender for Endpoint device onboarding, SIT and Sensitivity Label design, USB/cloud/browser/clipboard egress policies, Adaptive Protection wiring, audit-to-block tuning, and end-user policy-tip messaging.
- We do not deliver: 24/7 Security Operations Centre monitoring of DLP alerts, managed insider-threat investigation services, legal/forensic e-discovery, network DLP on appliances, or DLP for non-Microsoft platforms such as Google Workspace or third-party CASB.
- We are not: a Microsoft Solutions Partner-tier specialised partner of any solution area, a Microsoft FastTrack-Ready Partner, or an AWS Partner Network member — we hold no manufacturer credential of our own. We implement Microsoft commercially via authorised UAE channels with field experience.
- We are not affiliated with: Microsoft Corporation, Microsoft Solutions Partner-tier Security partners, authorised Microsoft distributors in UAE, Forcepoint DLP, Symantec DLP (Broadcom), Trellix (formerly McAfee) DLP, or Varonis.
- Licensing: Endpoint DLP requires Microsoft 365 E5, E5 Compliance, or the E5 Information Protection & Governance add-on; licences are procured via authorised Microsoft channel partners in the UAE, not directly by Emirtech.
- Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are our priority areas, and in Dubai: smart home, PABX and IP-PBX phone systems, IT AMC and time attendance by scheduled on-site visits, gate barriers, ANPR, video intercoms and turnstiles by Emirtech itself, and CCTV, alarm and access control through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating; we do not mobilise to Sharjah or the Northern Emirates. We do not hold SIRA licensing.
- Certifications we do not hold: ISO 27001, NESA, ADHICS, PDPL certification — we configure controls that support your compliance posture, but we do not issue compliance attestations.

Common questions
FAQs
Is Emirtech an authorised Microsoft partner for Endpoint DLP?
We are not a Microsoft Solutions Partner-tier specialised partner of any solution area, and we are not a Microsoft FastTrack-Ready Partner. We implement Microsoft Purview Endpoint DLP commercially via authorised UAE Microsoft channel partners and with field experience. We hold no manufacturer credential of our own; for Microsoft, we are a local integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems only) delivering implementation and tuning services.
Which Microsoft 365 licences are required for Endpoint DLP?
Endpoint DLP requires Microsoft 365 E5, Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance, or the Microsoft 365 E5 Information Protection & Governance add-on. macOS Endpoint DLP and Adaptive Protection have the same licensing baseline. We verify your tenant licensing before scoping and procurement is handled via an authorised Microsoft distributor in the UAE.
Which operating systems and channels does Endpoint DLP cover?
Supported platforms are Windows 10 and 11 Enterprise (onboarded via Defender for Endpoint, Intune, GPO or script) and macOS (the latest three major versions Microsoft supports). Controlled egress channels include USB and removable storage, Bluetooth, network shares, print, clipboard/copy-paste, browser uploads (Edge native, Chrome and Firefox via the Microsoft Purview extension) and cloud sync clients such as OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive and Box.
Do you run a SOC that monitors DLP alerts 24/7?
No. Emirtech does not operate a 24/7 Security Operations Centre. We configure Endpoint DLP, route alerts to Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Defender XDR or your existing SIEM, and document triage runbooks. Round-the-clock monitoring and incident response require an MSSP or your internal SOC team.
Can you guarantee PDPL, ADHICS, ISO 27001 or PCI DSS compliance?
No vendor can guarantee compliance — those outcomes depend on the whole control environment and an independent auditor. We configure Endpoint DLP controls (SITs, labels, egress policies, audit reporting) that support PDPL, ADHICS, PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 requirements relating to data exfiltration on endpoints. We do not hold ISO 27001, NESA, ADHICS or PDPL certifications ourselves.
How do I get a quote for Microsoft Endpoint DLP implementation?
