Cybersecurity & Data Protection
In line with Qatar’s National Cybersecurity Agency and Cybersecurity Framework, QAFAC had been granted ISO 27001:2013 certification for information security and business continuity. Our IT crew ensures the smooth implementation of robust cyber risk assessments and simulations to avoid devastating attacks. In 2024, QAFAC underscored the efficiency of this practice when it observed 346,915 attempted cyberattacks with null impact
-
Risk-based method and policy compliance
-
24/7 SOC (Security Operations Center) tracking and monitoring
-
Developed threat detection and real-time response systems
-
Effective implementation of Microsoft AIP (Azure Information Protection) for data classification

Digital Integration with EDMS and 3D Plant Modeling
Recently, QAFAC has shown a remarkable pace in digital transformation by launching an Intelligent Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) integrated with 3D plant modeling. This newly innovated digital infrastructure secures content within unified repository, ensuring a single source of authentic data for all records
Secure centralized document storage
Simple upload and retrieval of electronic records
Automated workflows for real-time partnership and stakeholder approvals
Integration of 3D modeling with technical data, applications, and product information
The laser scanning of the QAFAC plant has been achieved with the 3D modeling process underway.
