    The Audit, Simplified

    From questionnaire to governance - in four steps.

    A structured, repeatable methodology - not ad-hoc consulting. You always know exactly what happens next.

    Step 1 of 4

    10 minutes

    Fill the online questionnaire

    No technical knowledge required. You describe the AI tools your team uses, how data is handled, and your main priorities. Everything we need to map your exposure accurately.

    Step 2 of 4

    Behind the scenes · 48 hours

    Arcus analyses your tools against your applicable laws

    Your questionnaire is mapped against every regulation that applies to your business - PDPPL, Cybercrime Law, QFC DPR, NCSA Framework, QCB AI Directives, Consumer Protection Law, and any cross-border frameworks including GDPR where relevant.

    Every AI tool identified. Every data flow examined. Every gap documented with the specific article, the specific penalty, and the specific action required.

    Your free Risk Report includes:

    • Your company's current AI compliance status
    • Your identified risk exposure - by tool, by law, by severity
    • Your estimated financial exposure under applicable law
    • A sector-specific risk profile for your industry
    • A personal recommendation on whether you need our services
    • Your AI Risk Score - 0 to 100

    Delivered within 48 hours.

    Step 3 of 4

    Free · Your strategy session

    We sit down. Together.

    Your Risk Report is not a document we send and disappear. It is the starting point of a conversation.

    In a 30-minute call, we walk through your findings together - what the exposure means for your specific business, your clients, and your team. We answer your questions, challenge your assumptions, and give you a clear picture of what happens next.

    No pressure. No sales script - a frank conversation between two people who now understand your situation.

    Step 4 of 4

    Your call

    You implement - or we support you further

    Act on the report yourself using the findings as your roadmap. Or move to the Standard or Advanced audit - a complete governance framework, operational documents, and structured checkpoints over 3 or 6 months.

    The decision is yours. The exposure is not.

    How we handle your data

    Everything you share is strictly confidential and used to deliver your audit and run our engagement with you, aligned with Qatar's PDPPL and the GDPR. If an Arcus partner introduced you, they only see that an enquiry arrived, how far it got and, if you engage us, which audit you chose - never your name or details. Read our Privacy Policy.

    Annual Governance Refresh

    Stay defensible as the law evolves.

    QAR 4,000 / year

    Available to existing Arcus clients only

    Why this exists.

    An Arcus audit gives you a documented, defensible governance position on the day you receive it. But AI governance is not a one-time exercise.

    Laws get updated. New enforcement actions change what regulators expect. Your team adopts new AI tools. Vendors change their terms. Employees come and go. Every one of these events can quietly invalidate a document you thought was current.

    The Annual Governance Refresh ensures your framework stays accurate, current, and defensible - without starting from scratch.

    What changes between your audit and your refresh

    In 12 months, the following typically changes for any business using AI:

    • New AI tools adopted - GitHub Copilot, Gemini, new plugins - each creates new exposure if not governed
    • Regulatory updates - NDPO guidelines, SDAIA implementing regulations, UAE Federal PDPL amendments - each may require document updates
    • New enforcement actions - what NDPO sanctioned last quarter tells you what they are actively looking for
    • Vendor contract changes - OpenAI, Microsoft and Google update their terms regularly - your DPA position may have shifted
    • Team changes - new employees, new responsibilities - your AI Usage Policy needs to reflect current reality

    What the Refresh covers

    One structured review session with your Arcus adviser, followed by updated deliverables:

    • Full review of your AI tool landscape - new tools identified and assessed
    • Updated risk assessment against current applicable law
    • Revised annexes where law or context has changed
    • Updated Approved Tool List reflecting your current stack
    • One checkpoint call to confirm implementation status
    • Written summary of regulatory changes since your last audit - and what they mean for you

    Not a full re-audit

    The Refresh is not a full re-audit. If your business has changed significantly - new jurisdiction, major new data flows, sector change - a new Standard or Advanced audit may be more appropriate. Your adviser will tell you honestly which applies.

    Why QAR 4,000

    Your initial audit cost QAR 8,000 or QAR 15,000. The Refresh costs QAR 4,000 - half the Standard price - because the foundation is already built. We are updating, not starting over.

    To put it in perspective: one NDPO enforcement action starts at QAR 1,000,000. The Refresh costs 0.4% of that minimum fine. It is the cheapest defensibility available to an existing client.

    When to book it

    Book your Annual Refresh 11-12 months after your audit delivery date. Your Arcus adviser will remind you at your final checkpoint.

    If a significant regulatory update occurs before the 12-month mark - a new law, a major enforcement action in your jurisdiction - your adviser will contact you directly. Some updates require immediate attention. You will not find out from a press release.

    Available to existing Arcus clients only. Not subject to VAT. No hidden fees.

    The next move is yours

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