Cybersecurity Services

ANED conducts comprehensive penetration testing that goes beyond standard vulnerability scanning to simulate real-world attack scenarios targeting African digital infrastructure. Our ethical hackers test web applications, mobile apps, APIs, and network perimeters with particular focus on attack vectors prevalent in African markets, mobile money fraud patterns, SIM-swap exploits, and social engineering tactics tailored to local contexts.

We deliver actionable remediation roadmaps prioritized by business risk, with findings mapped to compliance requirements under Kenya's DPA, Nigeria's NDPR, and CBN cybersecurity framework, ensuring you address both technical vulnerabilities and regulatory obligations simultaneously.

Our security audits assess your organization's posture against both international standards (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS) and African regulatory frameworks. We help fintech companies meet CBN and CBK cybersecurity requirements, assist healthcare organizations with patient data protection under national health data regulations, and guide enterprises through POPIA, NDPR, and Kenya DPA compliance.

ANED's audit methodology includes gap analysis, risk assessment, policy review, and practical implementation roadmaps that account for the resource constraints and operational realities of African organizations.

We build threat models informed by the African cybercrime landscape, incorporating intelligence on regional threat actors, local attack patterns, and the specific vulnerabilities introduced by Africa's mobile-first digital ecosystem. Our models address threats unique to African deployments: USSD session hijacking, mobile money API exploitation, and insider threats common in emerging market enterprises.

ANED delivers prioritized risk registers and architecture recommendations that help your engineering teams build security in from the start, rather than bolting it on after deployment.

ANED operates Security Operations Center services from our Nairobi and Lagos facilities, providing continuous monitoring tuned to African threat intelligence feeds and regional attack patterns. Our SOC analysts understand the local context, distinguishing legitimate African traffic patterns from malicious activity that generic global SIEM rules might miss or misclassify.

We offer managed detection and response across your cloud and on-premise infrastructure, with escalation procedures aligned to your operational hours and local incident response requirements.

When breaches occur, ANED's incident response teams mobilize from our African centers to contain, investigate, and remediate rapidly. Our IR playbooks incorporate the mandatory breach notification timelines required by Kenya's DPA (72 hours), Nigeria's NDPR, and POPIA, ensuring you meet regulatory obligations while managing the technical response.

We provide digital forensics capabilities, root cause analysis, and post-incident hardening recommendations that strengthen your defenses against future attacks, with all evidence handling procedures aligned to African legal requirements for potential law enforcement engagement.
