Cybersecurity in Oman means protecting email, devices, networks, identities and backups, and being able to show customers how your systems are protected. Gulf Infotech, headquartered in Muscat since 2007, supplies, sets up and supports these controls for companies in Muscat, Sohar, Salalah and Duqm, with OMR quotes and English and Arabic support.
Who sets the security requirements for an Omani company?
Your own management and compliance team, together with your customers and advisers. Government bodies, banks and large customers often send security questionnaires or contract terms; your compliance team decides which requirements apply. We configure the platform to match your requirements and document every setting, so you can answer those questionnaires with evidence.
Which controls do we deploy?
Takeaway: most security questionnaires are answered with five layers: identity, endpoint, email, backup and staff training.

Prices as of October 2026 · per user per month, billed annually (annual upfront commitment) · exclude VAT (5%). Invoiced in OMR by Gulf Infotech LLC, Muscat. We supply these Microsoft plans, with or without the Copilot add-on, in Oman.
Licences are one component: deployment and security configuration, migration, training and support are separate, paid components, quoted for your requirement.
Can our security and backup data be stored outside Oman?
That depends on your requirements, which your compliance team sets. Most security services we deploy, such as Mimecast, Bitdefender and Microsoft Defender, run from data centres outside Oman, as their vendors publish; according to Acronis, its nearest cloud data centre is in Abu Dhabi. Where your requirements call for data to stay in the Sultanate, we keep backups on local storage in your office or an Omani data centre. See cloud services in Oman.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do you support our compliance work?
Your compliance team decides the requirements; we configure the platform to match and give you a record of each setting. In practice that means controlled access, multi-factor sign-in, encryption, logs, backups and staff awareness, each mapped to a product we deploy and support.
How much does endpoint security cost in Oman?
Microsoft Defender for Business costs OMR 1.164 per user per month, billed annually, plus 5% VAT, as of October 2026. It is also included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium with Copilot at OMR 12.416. Bitdefender GravityZone and Kaspersky are quoted per device count. A 25-user company pays OMR 349.200 a year for Defender for Business before VAT.
Do you support companies in Sohar, Salalah and Duqm?
Yes. We support companies across Oman, including Sohar, Salalah and Duqm. Security reviews, cloud-managed endpoint and email security, backup monitoring and training all run remotely, so the service is the same outside Muscat. Firewalls are configured remotely, with your IT person on site, and in-person training can be arranged from our Muscat head office.
What is the first step to secure a small business in Oman?
Turn on multi-factor sign-in for every email account, then protect every laptop with endpoint security and back up your data with one copy that cannot be altered. These three steps close the gaps behind most phishing, ransomware and account takeover incidents. After that, set up DMARC for your domain and train staff to spot phishing.
