01 · Problem

CBN Compliance is a Crisis, Not a Checklist

Nigerian institutions face enforceable CBN cybersecurity directives — but have no affordable, integrated tool to assess gaps, prepare evidence, and submit reports.

The CBN Cybersecurity Framework and C-SAT submission requirements are mandatory, yet most banks and fintechs are navigating them manually — wasting months and millions on fragmented consultants with no continuity or visibility.

Manual evidence chasing Fragmented consultants No remediation visibility

02 · Timing

Why Now

Three converging forces are making this the defining window for African cybersecurity.

60%

AI-Accelerated Threats

Increase in AI-assisted cyberattacks in 2024. Manual defenses and point-in-time assessments can no longer respond at the speed of modern adversaries.

$500B

African Digital Economy

Projected African digital market by 2030. Fintech, mobile banking, and e-commerce are creating a massive, largely unprotected attack surface at unprecedented speed.

3 Laws

Regulatory Mandate Wave

NDPR, POPIA, and CBN cybersecurity directives now carry enforceable fines. Enterprises face license risk and board-level liability for non-compliance — creating immediate budget unlock.
