In short: This page covers “SOC 2 Type II Technical Layer — Honest Scope” from the technical side, with honest scope. Emirtech installs and configures systems; it is not an auditor, certification body or legal adviser, so confirm the standard or regulation with the relevant authority, auditor or adviser.

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; CCTV, alarm and access control through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating. |
| What is covered | SOC 2 Type II Technical Layer — Honest Scope. |
| Survey and quotation | Emirtech publishes no price list: it surveys or assesses first and then gives a written, itemised quotation. |

Emirtech is a systems integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems; Abu Dhabi Monitoring and Control Centre) founded in 2018, operating from M44, Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi. We deliver the technical-control layer that supports a SOC 2 Type II examination for Abu Dhabi-based SaaS, fintech and technology firms — covering the common scope of Security, Availability and Confidentiality Trust Services Criteria. Our engineers implement and operate the technology evidence that a licensed CPA firm tests during your audit window. Typical workstreams include MFA and conditional access via Entra ID, endpoint detection and response (EDR), FortiGate firewall hardening and rule reviews, network segmentation between production and corporate zones, BitLocker disk encryption, TLS in transit, centralised logging and monitoring via Microsoft Sentinel, vulnerability management, immutable backup with tested restores, change management technical evidence (Azure DevOps or GitHub records), and access management joiner-mover-leaver workflows. We must be explicit on scope. Emirtech is not a CPA firm, not a SOC 2 audit firm, not a SOC 2 consultancy, and does not issue SOC 2 reports or opinions. The Type II report is signed by a licensed CPA practice such as a Big Four firm, a mid-tier firm, or a SOC 2 specialist auditor that your organisation engages directly. We are also not affiliated with compliance-automation platforms such as Vanta, Drata or Secureframe — if you use one, we integrate our control evidence with your chosen platform but we do not resell it. Our role is the engineering and operations layer underneath: configuring the controls, generating the evidence, supporting management assertions and responding to auditor information requests during fieldwork. We serve organisations in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain first, 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.

SOC 2 technical-layer capabilities
Entra ID configuration for MFA, conditional access, privileged identity management, joiner-mover-leaver workflows, access reviews and SSO across in-scope systems — supporting CC6 logical access criteria evidence requested by your CPA audit firm.
FortiGate firewall hardening, network segmentation between production and corporate, EDR rollout, BitLocker disk encryption, TLS enforcement, patch management and vulnerability scanning — generating technical evidence aligned to CC6 and CC7 system operations criteria.
Centralised logging via Microsoft Sentinel, log retention policies, alerting workflows, incident response runbooks, on-call rotation support and forensic readiness — providing the monitoring evidence your licensed CPA auditor samples during the SOC 2 Type II observation window.
Immutable backup with tested restores, RPO and RTO documentation, change-management technical records via Azure DevOps or GitHub, configuration-as-code, deployment approvals — supporting CC8 change management and Availability criteria evidence packages.
We deliver and operate the technology controls underneath your SOC 2 Type II programme. We do not write the report, deliver the audit opinion, or replace your licensed CPA firm. Call +971 55 651 7843 or request a free SOC 2 Type II Technical Layer consultation.
Sub-segments served
Abu Dhabi B2B SaaS vendors pursuing a first SOC 2 Type II to unlock enterprise sales cycles. We implement the technical layer that supports the common Security plus Availability and Confidentiality scope on Microsoft Azure or AWS environments.
Fintech firms in Abu Dhabi handling customer financial data and seeking SOC 2 Type II alongside regulatory obligations. Technical scope covers production segmentation, encryption, logging and access reviews — auditor and CBUAE matters handled by your specialists.
Tech-enabled services and managed-service providers in Abu Dhabi needing SOC 2 Type II for upstream enterprise contracts. We deliver the operational technology evidence layer and integrate with the compliance-automation platform you have chosen, if any.
Growing technology firms in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain preparing for Series B or enterprise procurement and needing SOC 2 Type II readiness on the technology side. We scope a pragmatic, evidence-led programme matched to your audit window.
Honest scope clarity matters for SOC 2 Type II, because the CPA report is signed by your auditor and not by your technology integrator. Our position:
Emirtech is an independent Abu Dhabi integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) delivering the technology evidence layer that supports your SOC 2 Type II programme — alongside, not in place of, your licensed CPA audit firm.
Common questions
No. Emirtech is not a CPA firm and not a SOC 2 audit firm. SOC 2 Type II reports are issued only by licensed CPA firms working under AICPA attestation standards. We deliver the technical-control layer underneath the programme — MFA, EDR, FortiGate, Sentinel logging, encryption, backup, change management and access reviews — and we work alongside the audit firm your organisation engages directly.
Our technical work primarily supports evidence for Security (Common Criteria CC1 to CC9 where technology controls apply), Availability and Confidentiality. We focus on the technology operations and engineering evidence. Processing Integrity and Privacy criteria, where in scope, require additional process and policy work outside our technical-layer remit.
No. Those are compliance-automation platforms used to collect, organise and monitor SOC 2 evidence. We are a technology integrator delivering the underlying controls. If your organisation uses Vanta, Drata or Secureframe, we configure the technical controls and integrate evidence collection with that platform. If you do not use one, we still deliver the technology layer and document evidence manually.
No technology vendor can guarantee a clean SOC 2 Type II opinion. The report and any exceptions are determined by the independent CPA auditor based on their testing during the observation period. We can reduce technology risk by implementing controls properly, monitoring them during the audit window, and responding promptly to auditor information requests.
No. Emirtech is not a 24/7 SOC operator. We implement Microsoft Sentinel logging, alerting and monitoring, configure alert routing and document the response runbooks. If your SOC 2 scope requires 24/7 monitored response, you will need to engage a managed SOC provider or staff an internal on-call rotation alongside our technical implementation.
