Protect your business and your users

We secure your applications, infrastructure, and data with industry-standard practices. From security audits and penetration testing to compliance consulting, we make sure your systems are hardened against threats.

Cybersecurity services for Kenyan businesses

Most attacks on businesses are not sophisticated. They exploit weak passwords, outdated software, exposed admin pages and staff who click the wrong link. Fixing those basics prevents most incidents.

We review your websites, applications and systems the way an attacker would, fix what we find, and help you put simple habits in place so your business stays protected after we leave.

What a security audit covers

A typical audit looks at:

  • Web applications and APIs, tested against the OWASP Top 10 risks.
  • Logins: passwords, two-factor authentication and user permissions.
  • Servers and cloud accounts: open ports, patches and configuration.
  • Data: encryption, backups and who can access customer information.
  • Email: SPF, DKIM and DMARC records that stop others sending as your domain.
  • A written report ranking each issue by risk, with clear fixes.

Kenya's Data Protection Act

The Data Protection Act, 2019 requires businesses that collect personal data, such as customer names, phone numbers and ID numbers, to protect it and use it only for the purposes they stated. Many businesses must also register with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC).

We help you understand what data you hold and where it lives, secure it in your systems, and put the technical measures in place that the Act expects.

Questions

Do we really need a security audit?

If you handle user data, payments, or sensitive information — yes. A breach is far more expensive than prevention.

What compliance standards do you cover?

We help with GDPR, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and Kenya's Data Protection Act. We can advise on what applies to you.

Can you secure an existing application?

Yes. We audit and remediate existing applications regardless of the tech stack.

What is penetration testing?

Penetration testing is a controlled, authorised attack on your systems to find weaknesses before criminals do. We try to break in the way an attacker would, then report what we found and how to fix it.

Does my business need to register with the ODPC?

Many businesses that process personal data must register as data controllers or processors with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner. The rules depend on your sector and size, so check the ODPC guidance or ask your legal adviser; we handle the technical side of compliance.

How often should we run a security audit?

At least once a year, and whenever you launch a major new system or make big changes to an existing one.
