About Arcus

    GCC-registered AI governance advisors, built for how business runs here.

    Arcus - from Latin, for precision, control and deliberate action. We turn invisible AI risk into a defensible, documented position under your applicable law.

    The majority of business owners across the GCC are expatriates using ChatGPT, Copilot and a dozen other AI tools daily. Almost none can answer one question: under the law that applies to your business, are you protected? Arcus exists to answer it - fast, specifically, and in plain language.

    Why Arcus

    What makes the difference

    Why businesses across the GCC choose Arcus over traditional advisory firms and generic SaaS compliance tools.

    Your data stays in Doha

    Every questionnaire is processed on our local infrastructure in Qatar. We do not transmit your data to any external AI provider - not OpenAI, not Google, not Microsoft. Our AI model runs entirely on our own servers. Zero cloud exposure. This is not a privacy setting. It is an architectural choice.

    Built around your applicable laws

    Every audit maps your AI operations against the laws that apply to you - PDPPL, Cybercrime Law, QFC DPR, NCSA Framework, Saudi PDPL, UAE Federal PDPL, and more - with the specific article and penalty for each gap. Generic checklists don't survive a regulatory inspection.

    Up to 16 ready-to-use documents

    Most firms deliver a report and consider the job done. We deliver a report plus up to 16 operational documents your team can implement from day one - AI usage policy, approved tool list, incident response plan, risk register, employee responsibility agreement, and more.

    Delivered when it matters

    Your free Risk Report is delivered within 48 hours. Standard Audit: 3 business days. Advanced Audit: 5 business days. You have urgent exposure - you deserve a fast answer.

    Priced against the fine, not the hour

    From QAR 8,000 - 0.16% of the maximum PDPPL fine, and less than a single hour with a QFC law firm. Comparable depth at a fraction of the cost, with no hidden fees and no VAT.

    A partner, not a vendor

    Advanced engagements include a 6-month checkpoint programme. Your governance framework doesn't end when the report lands in your inbox - it starts there.

    Confidential by default

    We sign a mutual confidentiality agreement before every engagement. No finding is ever disclosed to any third party, including regulators. We have no obligation to report - and we never do.

    Our Methodology

    Structured, repeatable, defensible.

    Not ad-hoc consulting. A documented method that produces the same rigour every time.

    1

    We inventory every AI tool your team actually uses - including the shadow tools and browser extensions nobody declared.

    2

    We map each tool and data flow against your applicable laws, identifying the specific article and penalty for every gap.

    3

    We rank the risks by urgency and translate them into a prioritised action list any business leader can act on.

    4

    We hand you the operational documents to close the gaps - and, on Advanced engagements, check back at 6 months to ensure nothing has slipped.

    Serving Qatar-first - and cross-market clients across the GCC, under GDPR and the EU AI Act.

    The next move is yours

    Most businesses using AI are not compliant. Most never know until it's too late.
