Yes, we are happy to execute non-disclosure agreements before any project engagement or consultation where sensitive information will be shared. Protecting our clients' confidential business information and intellectual property is a fundamental part of how we operate.

We treat all personally identifiable information with the highest level of care, implementing strict access controls, encryption, and data minimization principles. We collect and process personal data only as necessary for the services being provided and in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.

We design and develop systems with data protection compliance in mind, including adherence to the Malawi Data Protection Act and, where applicable, international frameworks such as GDPR. We can work with your legal team to ensure that the solutions we build meet your specific regulatory obligations.

Our development environments are protected through secure access controls, VPN connections, encrypted repositories, and strict separation between development, staging, and production environments. We ensure that sensitive production data is never used in development or testing without proper anonymization.

Yes, we conduct security testing as part of our quality assurance process, including vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and code security reviews. For applications handling sensitive data or financial transactions, we recommend and can facilitate independent third-party security audits as an additional layer of assurance.

All user passwords in our systems are hashed using strong, industry-standard algorithms such as bcrypt or Argon2 and are never stored in plain text. We implement secure password policies, account lockout mechanisms, and support multi-factor authentication to provide robust protection for user accounts.

Yes, we implement SSL/TLS certificates on all websites and web applications we deploy, ensuring that data transmitted between users and the server is encrypted. We configure HTTPS by default and can manage certificate procurement and renewal as part of our hosting and maintenance services.

We deploy applications behind content delivery networks and web application firewalls that provide DDoS mitigation capabilities. We also configure rate limiting, traffic analysis, and automated alerting to detect and respond to volumetric attacks quickly, minimizing potential impact on service availability.

We implement role-based access control systems that ensure users can only access the features and data appropriate to their role. Administrative functions are restricted to authorized personnel, and all access changes are logged for audit purposes. We follow the principle of least privilege across all systems.

Backups are encrypted, stored in secure off-site locations, and tested regularly to verify integrity and recoverability. Access to backup data is strictly controlled and audited. We implement retention policies that balance data protection requirements with storage efficiency and regulatory obligations.

For projects involving payment processing, we adhere to PCI DSS guidelines and best practices. We integrate with reputable, PCI-compliant payment gateways and ensure that sensitive cardholder data is never stored on our servers, reducing the scope and risk of payment-related security concerns.

We maintain an incident response plan that defines procedures for identifying, containing, investigating, and recovering from security incidents. In the event of a breach or security event, we notify affected clients promptly, conduct a thorough root cause analysis, and implement corrective measures to prevent recurrence.

Yes, we have experience building systems that comply with various industry regulations including financial services standards, healthcare data requirements, and educational data privacy rules. We work closely with your compliance and legal teams to ensure that technical implementations satisfy all applicable regulatory controls.

We take the trustworthiness of our team seriously and conduct appropriate vetting for all team members who may have access to client systems and data. Our staff are bound by confidentiality clauses in their employment agreements and receive regular training on data protection and security best practices.

All API integrations are secured using authentication tokens, API keys, OAuth protocols, and encrypted communication channels. We implement input validation, rate limiting, and logging on all API endpoints to prevent unauthorized access, data injection, and abuse of integrated services.

We maintain business continuity plans that include redundant infrastructure, automated failover mechanisms, regular data backups, and documented recovery procedures. Our goal is to ensure that critical services can be restored within defined recovery time objectives, minimizing the impact of any unforeseen disruptions on your operations.
