The sector we know best — because it's the one we've worked in longest.
Fraud, payment security, and regulatory pressure define risk in African banking. We've spent over a decade in this sector specifically — through banking security testing, fraud investigation, and the Banking & ICT Summit — before working with anyone else.
The risks we're built to address.
Fraud & Internal Abuse
Employee embezzlement, kickback schemes, and financial statement manipulation that internal controls alone don't catch.
Payment & Channel Security
Internet and mobile banking channels, ATM and card systems — each a distinct attack surface with distinct testing needs.
Regulatory Exposure
PCI DSS obligations and evolving regional banking regulation, with real consequences for non-compliance.
Board-Level Accountability
Boards and regulators expect a defensible answer about cyber risk posture — not reassurance.
Where our banking work concentrates.
Forensics & Investigation

We've brought together East Africa's banking and ICT leadership since the summit's inception — not as a marketing event, but as an ongoing forum for the risks this sector actually faces.
View Summit DetailsWe speak the language your auditors and regulators use.
A representative banking-sector engagement.
Client details are withheld to protect confidentiality, in line with standard practice for banking-sector engagements. The pattern below reflects the general shape of this type of assessment.
A regional bank needed independent assurance on a mobile banking channel ahead of a regulatory review, without internal capacity to test it thoroughly.
Manual and automated testing of the mobile application and underlying transaction database, scoped around real fraud and misconfiguration risk.
A prioritized findings report the client's IT and compliance teams could act on directly ahead of their review.
Note: figures and identifying details are intentionally omitted rather than fabricated. Ask us directly for reference conversations where permitted by client confidentiality.
Where else our work applies.
Government & Public Sector
Sovereignty, public trust, and evidentiary rigor for investigations. Our forensic equipment and methods are already used in law-enforcement-adjacent work.
Critical Infrastructure & Telecommunications
Resilience and continuity for operationally critical systems — a natural extension of our assessment and assurance work.
Healthcare, NGOs & Education
Availability, privacy, and capability-building — the latter connects directly to our Training Academy.
