The company delivers information security solutions and IT outsourcing services to enterprise clients across the MENA region, with offices in Cairo and Dubai and project presence in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The technology stack is built around partnerships with 55+ vendors (including Fortinet), positioning Hemaya as a multi-vendor systems integrator rather than a proprietary software developer.

The business model is project-based professional services combined with managed/outsourced services under long-term contracts, supplemented by training revenue through the Hemaya Academy. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with custom engagement models tailored to client scope. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting financial institutions, government entities, and large enterprises; the primary customer segment is Financial Services/Banking in Egypt, where the company claims 85% of digital banking security market share and protection of 5M+ fintech users. Additional verticals include Industrial/Critical Infrastructure (largest SCADA installation in Egypt) and Government/Enterprise across MENA.

Hemaya Academy, operated in partnership with Egypt's National Telecommunication Institute (NTI) and leading Egyptian universities, delivers 420 hours of accredited hands-on cybersecurity training, functioning both as a talent pipeline for the firm and a standalone revenue stream. The company holds no disclosed funding rounds, operates without public shareholders, and is privately controlled; no management team, headcount trend, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed. Service capabilities are reinforced by compliance expertise in PCI-DSS, ISO-27001, and ITIL frameworks.
