Full KDPA compliance engagement

Most Kenyan businesses think KDPA compliance is just a form you file. It's not. The ODPC is actively enforcing. Fines are real. And the gap between "we collect data" and "we're compliant" is bigger than most businesses realise. De4sec closes that gap.

ODPC enforcement is active from 2023. Fines for non-compliance can reach KES 3 million or 1% of annual turnover. Data breaches without proper protocols attract criminal liability.
