    Stop Cyber Threats Before They Cost You Millions

    Kenyan businesses lost over KES 5.8 billion to cybercrime in 2023. KDPA 2019 fines are up to KES 5 million or 1% of annual turnover. Datacare protects you on both fronts, proactively.

    Common questions

    Real questions from Kenyan business owners

    Are you actually based in Nairobi?

    Yes. Our team is in Nairobi. When you call 0784 155 752, you reach a real person in Kenya, not a foreign call centre. We understand the local threat landscape, M-Pesa fraud patterns, and KDPA 2019 obligations that affect your business.

    How does KDPA 2019 apply to my business?

    If you collect any personal data (names, emails, IDs, payment info, or health records), KDPA 2019 applies to you. That means having a data protection policy, a process to handle breach notifications within 72 hours, and honoring data subject requests. We handle all of this.

    What happens if we get hit by ransomware?

    On Professional and Enterprise plans you have an on-call incident response team. We contain the infection, investigate, recover from clean backups, and handle the KDPA breach notification process if personal data was affected. Don't face it alone.

    We already have antivirus. Do we need this?

    Antivirus catches known malware. Modern attacks (phishing, business email compromise, credential theft, ransomware) bypass it. Our layered approach covers the full kill chain, not just the final payload. The average Kenyan breach goes undetected for 207 days.

    Can we pay via M-Pesa?

    Yes. All plans support M-Pesa Paybill payments so you're not dependent on SWIFT transfers or card billing. We also accept bank transfers and issue KRA-compliant ETR receipts.
