HaxUnit and Liplyn Information Group today announced a strategic partnership to help organisations in the United Arab Emirates and the wider Gulf region gain continuous visibility into their external cyber exposure and maintain stronger evidence for information-security governance and ISO/IEC 27001 certification activities.
The partnership combines HaxUnit’s cybersecurity technology with Liplyn Information Group’s regional presence and more than 20 years of experience in AI, data-driven digital growth and international market development. The initiative will be supported through Liplyn’s office in Dubai and will initially focus on organisations with complex or rapidly changing digital environments, including real estate, hospitality, financial services, energy, technology and professional services.
The launch comes as organisations across the Gulf scale their use of cloud platforms, artificial intelligence, APIs, mobile services, smart-building systems and connected infrastructure. These technologies create significant economic and operational value, but they can also expand an organisation’s internet-facing attack surface faster than conventional, periodic security reviews can track.
A proprietary AI cybersecurity agent developed over several years
HaxUnit has spent several years developing its proprietary, platform-level AI cybersecurity agent. The technology is designed to coordinate external asset discovery, vulnerability assessment, contextual prioritisation, remediation guidance, verification and report generation within an authorised customer scope.
Starting from an approved domain or asset group, HaxUnit can identify associated subdomains, IP addresses, open services and underlying technologies. It then continuously assesses exposed assets for vulnerabilities and security misconfigurations, attaches technical evidence and reproduction guidance to findings, and enables teams to verify remediation through retesting.
Although HaxUnit uses an AI agent at platform level, customers do not need to install endpoint software or add code to their systems. The service assesses externally reachable assets associated with domains and infrastructure that the customer owns or is explicitly authorised to test.
HaxUnit reports that its platform has already performed more than 10,000 vulnerability scans, discovered more than 75,000 assets and prioritised more than 5,000 security findings.
Turning continuous monitoring into ISO-ready evidence
The partnership will also address a recurring challenge for Gulf organisations pursuing or maintaining ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification: converting day-to-day cybersecurity activity into consistent, traceable evidence.
HaxUnit is configured to provide structured reporting that can support information-security management and certification activities. Depending on the agreed scope, reporting can document external asset visibility, detected vulnerabilities, risk prioritisation, remediation ownership and status, retest results, technical evidence and management-level summaries.
This creates a clearer evidence trail for internal reviews, customer assurance processes and independent audits. HaxUnit does not issue ISO certifications and does not replace an organisation’s information security management system, independent auditor or accredited certification body.
From a baseline assessment to continuous assurance
Through the partnership, organisations can begin with an authorised baseline assessment of their internet-facing environment and progress to continuous monitoring, remediation tracking and executive reporting. Enterprise engagements may also include custom integrations, API access and on-premise deployment, subject to customer requirements and technical assessment.
The companies will develop sector-specific reporting and portfolio views for organisations that manage multiple brands, properties, operating companies or digital platforms. This is intended to give leadership teams a consolidated view of exposure while preserving controlled access to sensitive technical findings.
“The Gulf is building digital services and connected environments at remarkable speed. The right response is not to slow innovation, but to make cyber visibility continuous, measurable and accountable,” said Luke Liplijn, Founder and CEO of Liplyn Information Group. “HaxUnit has been developed over several years to turn a complex external footprint into clear action. Together, we can help leadership teams understand what is exposed, prioritise what matters and maintain the evidence expected by clients, boards and ISO auditors.”
The announcement follows the region’s growing focus on cyber resilience and the secure, responsible adoption of artificial intelligence. The HaxUnit–Liplyn partnership is an independent commercial initiative. All assessments are limited to customer-owned or explicitly authorised assets and are performed under an agreed scope.
Organisations in the UAE and wider Gulf region can request an introductory discussion or authorised cyber-exposure assessment through haxunit.com or liplyn.com.
