Professional services IT, UAE
IT services for law firms, accounting practices and consultancies.
Your clients send you contracts, accounts and personal data, and more of them now send a security questionnaire before they sign. We moved a UAE professional-services firm from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 without a lost working day, and we look after firms' files, mail and backups day to day.

What goes wrong
The IT problems firms bring to us.
- Security questionnaires
- Clients and banks asking about MFA, backups and access control, and nobody in the firm sure of the answers.
- Files open to everyone
- One shared drive where every member of staff can open every client folder.
- Invoice fraud by email
- Spoofed partner or supplier emails asking finance to change bank details, often because SPF, DKIM and DMARC are not set.
- Data protection
- UAE PDPL (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021), or the DIFC Data Protection Law (DIFC Law No. 5 of 2020) for firms in DIFC.
- Records that must last years
- Engagement letters, working papers and invoices that have to stay findable and unaltered.
- Partners on the move
- Laptops and phones outside the office, with client files synced to personal devices.

Questions
What partners and practice managers ask us.
Do you work with law and accounting firms?
Yes. Our published Microsoft 365 migration was for a UAE professional-services firm (the client is withheld by request), and Indemnity Insurance Brokers runs on servers and storage we installed. We support firms from 5 to several hundred users.
Which data protection law applies to our firm?
Most UAE mainland and free-zone firms fall under the UAE PDPL, Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021. Firms in DIFC fall under the DIFC Data Protection Law, DIFC Law No. 5 of 2020, and ADGM has its own regulations. Your legal adviser confirms which applies; we set up access control, logging and backups to support it.
Can you answer our clients’ security questionnaires?
Yes. Send the questionnaire or vendor pack through the enquiry form and we reply within one business day. We fill in the technical sections for the systems we run.
How do you keep client files confidential between matters or engagements?
Files sit in SharePoint or a file server with permissions per client or matter, external sharing is limited, and every access is logged in Microsoft 365. Leavers lose access on the day they leave.
Are you ready for UAE e-invoicing?
We help firms check their accounting system and document storage against the e-invoicing timeline. For document retention, windream keeps invoices and contracts indexed and archived so they cannot be altered.
What if we want to leave?
Your Microsoft 365 tenant, domain and admin accounts stay in your firm’s name, and the documentation we write is yours. We hand everything over in writing.

A short note is enough. We reply within one business day.
