I'm Akilesh Nairy, founder of Monarc (usemonarc.com) — a cybersecurity
platform I've been building solo since February 2026.
UAE SMEs face AED 20M penalties under the Personal Data Protection Law
(PDPL) but most have no idea if their websites are even secure. Every
tool I found was either enterprise-priced or required a dedicated
security team to operate.
Monarc scans websites for vulnerabilities using Nuclei under the hood,
runs on a Next.js + Railway architecture, and explains every finding in
plain English using GPT-4o with SecureBERT for classification.
UAE PDPL enforcement is live. India's DPDP Act deadline is 2027.
Monarc automates compliance workflows for both — the only platform
built specifically for SMEs operating in these two markets.
Pre-launch, Q1 2027 target. Waitlist open at usemonarc.com. Happy to answer any technical questions about the scanner architecture
or the compliance automation layer.
