Advantari, a Bahrain-based consultancy specializing in digital transformation and cyber security, marked its fifth anniversary with a special celebration at the Al Taj Ballroom, Sheraton Bahrain Hotel. The event brought together clients, partners and guests to recognize the company’s progress and the relationships that have supported its development since it was established in Manama in 2021.
Ahmed Albalooshi, Chief Executive Officer of Advantari, said: “We are proud to mark five years of achievement alongside the clients and partners whose confidence has been central to our progress. Our approach has remained consistent from the outset: technology delivers its greatest value when security is built into it. We therefore remain committed to embedding cyber security principles into the solutions and services we provide, while aligning them with each organization’s vision and business activities to support sustainable growth and competitiveness.”
Albalooshi added: “Advantari enters its sixth year with an operating model that brings together strong technical capabilities and a thorough understanding of the requirements of different business sectors. This combination has enabled us to serve government and private-sector organizations, banks and financial institutions, insurance companies and startups, helping them develop their competitive advantage and protect it as their businesses evolve.”
Hamad Al-Mahmeed, Vice Chief Executive Officer of Advantari, said: “Over the past five years, Advantari has built an integrated suite of specialized services spanning digital transformation strategy, technology consultancy, cyber security governance, risk management and compliance, enterprise resource planning (ERP), and the development of websites and mobile applications. We also provide outsourced executive technology and information security leadership, including CISO-as-a-Service and CTO-as-a-Service, together with services that support organizations in meeting their personal data protection requirements.”
Al-Mahmeed added that Advantari is licensed to provide External Data Protection Guardian services and offers related solutions and advisory support, and also noted that the company assists clients with the implementation of ISO/IEC 42001, the international standard for AI management systems, by developing governance frameworks, policies and risk management procedures to support their preparation for certification.
