Cybersecurity services protecting Ugandan organisations
Most organisations discover a breach months after it happened. We help you find the weaknesses before attackers do, and monitor continuously so you know immediately when something is wrong.
Security risk assessment
A comprehensive assessment of your IT systems, processes, and people against international standards (ISO 27001, NIST). Know your risks before attackers exploit them.
Penetration testing
Ethical hackers attempt to breach your systems the same way real attackers would. You receive a detailed report of every vulnerability found, ranked by severity.
Firewall & endpoint protection
Palo Alto, Fortinet, and pfSense firewall configuration. CrowdStrike and Sophos endpoint protection deployed on all staff devices.
Security awareness training
Phishing simulations and staff training workshops. Most breaches start with a staff member clicking a malicious link — training reduces this risk by 70%+.
24/7 security monitoring (SOC)
Continuous monitoring of your logs, network traffic, and endpoints using SIEM tools. Our analysts investigate alerts and escalate genuine threats immediately.
Incident response
When a breach happens, every minute counts. We contain, investigate, and recover — then document the incident for regulators and management.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Is penetration testing legal in Uganda?
Yes — when conducted by authorised professionals with written permission from the organisation being tested. We provide a formal engagement letter and rules of engagement document for every penetration test we conduct.
How often should a Ugandan business do a security assessment?
We recommend a full assessment annually, with quarterly vulnerability scans. After any major system change (new software, office move, new cloud migration), an immediate assessment is advisable.
What happens if you find a serious vulnerability during a penetration test?
We notify you immediately by phone — we do not wait for the formal report. We then work with your team to prioritise and remediate critical findings before the report is issued.
