What we do
Four services, each with its own page, deliverables, and engagement model.
Cloud architecture & assessment
Independent review of cloud estates, landing zones, cost posture, and reliability risks, with actionable roadmaps — so you know exactly what to fix, in what order, and what it will cost.
Learn more →Software development
Design and build of web applications, APIs, and integrations using secure software development practices — shipped with the tests, CI/CD, and documentation your next hire will thank you for.
Learn more →Security & privacy engineering
Practical hardening, privacy-by-design reviews, and evidence preparation for procurement and due diligence — so security questionnaires stop being a fire drill.
Learn more →Managed delivery engagements
Time-bounded operating support for systems we design or deliver, with clear scope — so the system we built keeps running the way it was designed to. This is not an open-ended SaaS subscription.
Learn more →Why teams work with us
No badges we haven't earned, no claims we can't back — just the terms we actually work under.
Fixed scope, in writing
Every engagement runs against a statement of work with acceptance criteria. Nothing starts until you approve the scope, and plans never auto-renew.
See plans & pricing →Security you can inspect
Our security overview, subprocessor list, and responsible-disclosure policy are published in the Trust Center — no NDA required to read them.

Who you work with
The engineers behind Farqad Cloud
Farqad Cloud was founded by a small group of engineers who spent the better part of two decades building, securing, and reviewing systems for other organizations before starting their own.
We started Farqad Cloud because we kept seeing the same pattern: engagements that ran open-ended, deliverables nobody could inspect, and security bolted on at the end. We work the way we always wished vendors had worked with us — fixed scope in writing, documented deliverables you own, and a founder who reads every message.
The company is new. The experience behind it is not.
