Industry Expertise

Security built for
your industry.

Generic cybersecurity advice doesn't work. Every sector carries its own regulatory burden, threat profile, and operational reality. SecureZaidi delivers programmes that are designed around your business — not retrofitted to it.

Turning regulatory pressure into competitive advantage

Banks, SACCOs, fintechs, insurance companies, and MFIs operate under Kenya's most demanding compliance environment — CBK prudential guidelines, ODPC registration, IRA data standards, and increasingly, international frameworks like PCI DSS for payment processors. Most institutions treat these as burdens to be tolerated. SecureZaidi helps you treat them as a differentiator: the organisation that demonstrably protects customer data wins trust, retains customers, and closes deals faster.

Key Challenges
  • ODPC registration and ongoing DPA 2019 compliance across complex data flows — customer records, transaction histories, and cross-border transfers to correspondent banks
  • CBK cybersecurity framework adherence, incident reporting timelines, and audit readiness without a full in-house security team
  • Third-party risk management across mobile money integrations, payment processors, and cloud-hosted core banking systems

Patient Data Protection
Kenya DPA · MOH Standards
Healthcare

Patient data protection is a clinical obligation, not a compliance checkbox

Hospitals, clinics, health-tech startups, and medical insurers handle some of the most sensitive personal data in existence — diagnoses, treatment records, biometrics, and mental health information. As Kenya's health sector digitises rapidly through hospital management systems, telehealth platforms, and health apps, the attack surface grows with every endpoint added. A breach in healthcare doesn't just create regulatory liability — it destroys patient trust and can delay critical care.

Key Challenges
  • Protecting electronic health records with robust access controls, encryption at rest and in transit, and audit logging — across clinical staff who prioritise speed over security
  • ODPC compliance when sharing patient data across referral networks, insurers, and digital health platforms operating on different technical infrastructure
  • Assessing and managing the security posture of third-party medical software vendors, diagnostic systems, and cloud providers with access to patient data

Security certification as a sales tool, not a cost centre

Enterprise customers, international investors, and procurement committees increasingly require ISO 27001 or SOC 2 before contracts are signed. For African technology companies trying to win business regionally or globally, certification is no longer optional — it's the gate. SecureZaidi helps software companies and SaaS startups achieve these certifications efficiently, embedding security into the development lifecycle without slowing down engineering velocity.

Key Challenges
  • Meeting ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type II requirements to unlock enterprise contracts, pass investor due diligence, and satisfy procurement questionnaires from regulated-sector customers
  • Building a secure SDLC and DevSecOps pipeline that integrates threat modelling, SAST/DAST, and vulnerability management without becoming a bottleneck for engineering teams
  • Demonstrating data protection compliance — under Kenya DPA 2019 and GDPR for EU-facing products — to enterprise customers who run their own security reviews

Citizen Data at Scale

Government & Public Sector

Protecting public data and enabling digital government

Government agencies, county governments, and parastatals are increasingly attractive targets precisely because they hold citizen data at scale — tax records, health registrations, land data, and national identification. The Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act 2018 and Kenya DPA 2019 create clear legal duties, while the Government of Kenya ICT standards set a baseline that many agencies struggle to meet without specialist support. SecureZaidi works within the realities of public sector procurement, budgets, and legacy infrastructure.

Key Challenges
  • Achieving Kenya DPA 2019 compliance and ODPC registration for agencies processing citizen data at volume — including mapping data flows across fragmented legacy systems
  • Building cyber resilience within constrained procurement cycles, budget approval timelines, and civil service processes that were not designed around operational agility
  • Securing rapidly expanding digital service platforms — e-citizen portals, mobile services, and integrated government systems — against nation-state and opportunistic threat actors
