How CWS delivers

Implementing Prisma Cloud in Canada for UAE enterprises.

Prisma Cloud engagements run 6 to 16 weeks: account onboarding, baseline policy tuning, runtime workload onboarding, compliance pack tuning, alert routing setup, remediation workflow integration.

Engagements are scoped on a fixed-fee SOW with weekly review checkpoints and named senior engineer ownership. CWS holds PCNSC, PCNSE, and Prisma SASE APS certifications, with named platform specialisations across Software Firewall, Hardware Firewall, and Prisma Cloud. Bilingual handover artifacts in English plus a second language are produced where audit and operations teams require them.
