Through our associate, A. D. Akhawala & Co. LLC (Qatar), licensed by the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC), we extend these services to international clients—delivering future-ready solutions backed by deep technical expertise and a commitment to long-term client success.

IT departments sometime cannot spare time to complete the documentation; you will receive our assistance in putting these together. Technical documentation includes documentation of application software based on the standards and globally recognized best practices for Software Development Life Cycle. User documentation provides detailed descriptions of each feature of the program, and the various steps required to invoke it.

Business Requirement Documents (BRDs) are written to define the requirements of a business process or a system that needs to support a business process. You will receive our service in preparation of BRD which contains the business requirements that are to be met and fulfilled by the system under development. These requirements specify "what" the system must do in order to fulfil the requirements of the business. Further, our service in preparation of Functional Specification Documents (FSDs) will also be provided that defines "how" the system will accomplish the requirements by outlining the functionality and features that will be supported by the system. Ideally, the functionality of the system will be described in logical terms so that the FSD is technology and platform independent. This gives the architects and developers more freedom in making development and design decisions about the physical design of the system.

In this service area your software applications will be examined to identify abnormalities, process inadequacies and control weaknesses. These reviews are conducted to determine application performance with regard to functionality, security and controls.

You will receive our service in carrying out IS Audits to determine whether the information systems and related resources adequately safeguard assets, maintain data and system integrity, provide relevant and reliable information, achieve organizational goals effectively, consume resources efficiently, and have effective internal controls that provide reasonable assurance that business, operational and control objectives will be met and that undesired events will be prevented, or detected, or corrected, in a timely manner.

Information security audit is a technical assessment that provides an independent evaluation of an organization's security policies & procedures, security control measures, and practices for protection of information from loss, damage, unintended disclosure, or denial of availability. We provide service in performing Information security audit through understanding the information technology environment by conducting interviews, vulnerability scans, examination of system settings, and network and communication analysis. It is intended to assess the current security compared to leading practices. This yields a comprehensive insight into the IT environment, while also uncovering any gap between the perceived state of security and the actual implementation.

Network Penetration Testing is the process of proactively identifying and quantifying the information security risks to enterprise technology assets. The penetration test aims to identify the vulnerabilities and exploit weaknesses of the target networks, systems and applications.
