MANDATE

// WHO WE SERVE — AND WHY THEY COME TO US

PERSONA-01 // LEGAL

GENERAL COUNSEL

Litigation requires evidence, not assumptions. Before any data-related claim or defence, you need to know exactly what the target application was transmitting — documented, reproducible, court-ready.

⚠ RISK: Undocumented transmissions = inadmissible

PERSONA-02 // COMPLIANCE

CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER

PDPL, GDPR, HIPAA exposure doesn't announce itself. You need independent verification that declared privacy policies match observed network behaviour — before the regulator asks.

⚠ RISK: Regulatory fine before you even know the gap

PERSONA-03 // INVESTMENT

VC PARTNER

Data liability is the hidden risk in every healthtech, fintech, or consumer deal. Know what you're acquiring before you sign. One undisclosed PHI leak can sink a portfolio company.

⚠ RISK: Unquantified data exposure erodes deal value

PERSONA-04 // SECURITY

ENTERPRISE CISO

Third-party apps on your estate are an uncontrolled attack surface. Understand what data flows out of each application — beyond what vendors claim in their documentation.

⚠ RISK: Vendor-claimed compliance ≠ observed behaviour

PERSONA-05 // M&A

M&A ADVISOR

Technical due diligence on mobile assets is now standard. Your clients need a structured privacy assessment — not just a policy review, but observed transmission analysis — before any transaction closes.

⚠ RISK: Mobile privacy gaps = unquantified deal liability

PERSONA-06 // HEALTH

HOSPITAL CIO

Patient-facing health apps are regulated. Before any deployment or third-party integration, you need confirmed evidence that PHI remains within governed boundaries — at the network layer.

⚠ RISK: Unverified PHI transmission triggers breach notification

● ACTIVE

SVC-008 // REGULATORY

Mobile App Privacy Audits in the UAE & GCC

KHWARIZMI helps legal, compliance, security, investment and M&A teams understand what mobile applications actually transmit across the network. The service is designed for privacy audits, UAE PDPL readiness, technical due diligence, third-party risk reviews, and evidence-grade app behaviour reporting.

Our methodology uses controlled researcher-owned devices and accounts, isolated analysis environments, and structured observation of application network behaviour. The output compares declared privacy policy claims against observed transmissions, third-party endpoints, data categories, and potential regulatory exposure.

What does a mobile app privacy audit include?

It includes target scoping, controlled behavioural capture, endpoint classification, privacy policy comparison, compliance gap analysis and a structured findings report.

Who is KHWARIZMI built for?

Legal counsel, compliance officers, enterprise CISOs, venture capital firms, private equity teams, fintech startups, healthtech companies, regulators and M&A advisors.

Do you need access to customer data?

No. Analysis is conducted using researcher-owned test devices and accounts inside an isolated environment.
