Cybersecurity and compliance in Cameroon: protect your data before the incident
Shared accounts, factory passwords, a backup nobody has ever restored: we find your real risks and fix what exposes you most first, without tools you do not need.

Common situations
Ordinary gaps, very real losses
One mailbox shared by three people, and a former employee who can still open the files.
The only backup is an external drive sitting next to the server, and nobody has ever restored from it.
The router still has its factory password.
What we deliver
Assessment, hardening and a prioritised action plan
Effective cybersecurity starts from the business’s real risks, not from a catalogue of tools.
Security assessment
An inventory of critical assets and risks, and an improvement plan ranked by priority.
Hardening and endpoint protection
Secure configurations, managed antivirus or EDR, tracked updates.
Access management
One named account per person, multi-factor authentication, least privilege, protected admin accounts.
Backup, monitoring and compliance
Backups with restore tests, logging, vulnerability management and compliance support.
First steps: the 3-2-1-1-0 backup rule
- 3 copies of your data
- on 2 different media
- with 1 off site
- and 1 copy that is immutable or offline
- 0 errors in the last restore test
Controls are proportionate to your operations, budget and responsibilities; the tools are chosen after that.

Frequently asked questions about cybersecurity
Where do we start?
With an assessment: an inventory of your critical assets and risks, then a prioritised improvement plan. The cheapest measures, such as multi-factor authentication, often come first.
Do we need to buy a lot of tools?
No. Recommendations are adapted to your context, without an oversized security stack.
What is the 3-2-1-1-0 rule?
Three copies of your data, on two different media, one of them off site and one immutable or offline, and zero errors in the last restore test.
Do I need to share documents and data during the first contact?
No. Start by describing your business and your problem. We will then tell you which examples or files are useful, and you decide what you share.
