The challenges we address

Four recurring threats, four operational answers

Proliferation of threats

Ransomware, targeted phishing, financial fraud and data leaks now affect organisations of all sizes in West Africa.

Regulatory compliance

Personal data protection under the CDP in Senegal, ARTCI in Côte d'Ivoire, GDPR for international flows and PCI-DSS for finance.

Lack of visibility

No incident detection, unanalysed logs, discontinuous supervision. We put in place complete real-time visibility.

Business continuity

Preparation for recovery after a major incident: disaster, attack, operator outage. Documented plan, regular tests, immutable backup.

Free cybersecurity audit

Measure your exposure before any investment

A certified consultant assesses your current posture over video conference (1 hour), identifies critical blind spots and provides a written report with a prioritised action plan within 5 business days. No commitment.

Areas of intervention

Six layers of defence, one integrated approach

A defence-in-depth approach: each layer limits the impact of a compromise and makes the attacker's task harder.

Network security

Next-generation firewalls, segmentation, enterprise VPN, secure SD-WAN and protection against DDoS attacks.
