About Underwings

Fresh Start, Serious Security

We're a cybersecurity startup building the partner we wish existed when we were on the other side — one that leads with honesty, does the actual work, and doesn't charge enterprise prices for startup-sized problems.

Our Story

Why We Started

We started Underwings because we kept seeing the same problem — businesses buying security tools they didn't need, or getting generic advice that didn't fit their actual risks. The gap between what's sold and what actually protects is wide.

So we're building something different. A small, focused team of certified security professionals who lead with understanding before recommending. We don't push products — we solve problems. Whether it's a penetration test, ISO 27001 certification, or the right security software, we start by listening.

We're just getting started, operating from India and the UAE, and working with businesses that want security done right — practical, affordable, and built around real risks, not vendor hype.

Our Philosophy

How We Work

Honest Advice

We recommend what fits your needs, not what has the highest margin. If you don't need something, we'll tell you.

Practical Security

Security that works in the real world. We focus on risk reduction, not checkbox compliance or security theater.

Long-Term Partnership

We're not here for one-time sales. We build relationships and support our clients through their security evolution.

Regional Presence

Operating from India and the UAE, we understand the compliance landscape, business culture, and threat environment across both regions.

Our Team

The Team Behind Underwings

A small, focused team of certified professionals who do the actual work — no layers, no handoffs.
