Compliance has stopped being optional for Kenyan organisations. The Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 carries real enforcement teeth through the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner, international clients increasingly demand ISO 27001 certification before they'll sign a contract, banks and card processors require PCI-DSS compliance as a condition of doing business, and any organisation handling EU customer data needs to satisfy GDPR. Meeting these standards is not just a legal shield — it is fast becoming a competitive requirement for winning larger contracts and partnerships.
We help organisations navigate this without drowning in documentation. Our compliance audits start with a practical gap assessment against the specific standard that matters to you — ISO 27001, GDPR, the Kenya Data Protection Act, PCI-DSS, or the NIST Cybersecurity Framework — identifying exactly where your current controls fall short. From there we provide hands-on remediation support to close those gaps, and structured audit preparation so that when the certification body or regulator arrives, your organisation is genuinely ready rather than hastily papering over cracks the week before.
What's Included
- A detailed gap assessment against your target standard (ISO 27001, GDPR, Kenya DPA, PCI-DSS, or NIST CSF)
- A prioritised remediation roadmap covering policy, technical, and process gaps
- Development or review of required policies, procedures, and documentation
- Data protection impact assessments and records of processing activities where required
- Staff training support tied to compliance obligations, delivered alongside our awareness programmes
- Mock audits and readiness reviews ahead of formal certification or regulatory assessment
- Ongoing compliance monitoring support to maintain certification once achieved
