About Farqad Cloud
Farqad Cloud provides cloud consulting, software development, architecture, and managed technology services for organizations that need reliable systems designed and operated with responsible security and privacy practices.
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 are certified practitioners, not generalists: our credentials span AWS and Google Cloud, SANS/GIAC, and Offensive Security, covering cloud architecture, defensive security, and hands-on offensive testing. That mix means we can design a system, break it, and then fix what we found.
Our work has taken us through fintech and payment platforms, cloud migrations and greenfield builds, and regulated environments where compliance is not optional. We have delivered against GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 requirements, as well as local regulatory frameworks in Egypt, the Gulf, Europe, and the United States — so when your auditor or your enterprise customer asks a question, we already know what evidence they expect.
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.

The story behind our name
Farqad Cloud takes its name from al-Farqadān, the two bright stars beside Polaris that Arab navigators once used to find north. In classical Arabic poetry, they became the proverbial inseparable pair, a symbol of brothers whose bond never breaks. The name reflects what we stand for: a fixed point our customers can navigate by, enduring trust, and partnerships built to last. Shortened simply to Farqad, it carries an ancient story of guidance, constancy, and connection into the cloud.
Kochab and Pherkad, known as al-Farqadān, circling Polaris, the fixed point sailors steered by.
