Security for AI Agents

A dedicated practice launches for the newest attack surface in the region: AI agents that read untrusted data, hold live credentials and call real tools on their owner’s behalf.

Why SCIAT AFRICA

We Specialise in Security
at the Highest Standard

Four reasons organisations across the region trust us with their infrastructure, their evidence, and their reputation.

Forensics at the Core

Most security firms can tell you that you were breached. We can tell you how, by whom, what they took, and prove it to a standard that survives cross-examination. Incident response, breach investigation, unauthorised-access detection, malware analysis and expert testimony under one roof.

People Who Go the Extra Mile

We recognise that our team is integral to our success, and we recruit talented, committed professionals. Our engineers are trustworthy, experienced, and will go further than the scope of work to resolve your security problem properly.

24/7Service desk

We offer comprehensive cybersecurity and digital forensics services, including risk assessment, penetration testing, incident response, network and application security, compliance readiness, user awareness training, forensic investigation and — newest of all — security for the AI agents now operating inside businesses.
We assess your current security infrastructure, identify the vulnerabilities that genuinely matter, and implement measures that strengthen your defences against the threats you actually face. You get a prioritised roadmap rather than a list of everything that could theoretically be wrong.
We serve clients across banking, insurance, fintech, healthcare, retail, higher education, manufacturing and telecommunications, as well as government agencies. Each engagement is tailored to the regulatory obligations and threat patterns specific to that sector.
Forensics. Most security firms can tell you that you were breached — we can tell you how, by whom, what was taken, and prove it to a standard that holds up under challenge. Combining that with preventive security under one roof means you are not starting again with a second firm when an incident turns into a legal matter.
Our team consists of skilled, experienced practitioners with a deep understanding of cybersecurity, digital forensics and industry best practice. The people who scope your work are the people who do it.
Both. We focus on proactive measures — risk assessment, vulnerability management, penetration testing and security awareness training — as well as incident response to address and mitigate incidents when they do occur. Most clients start proactive and keep us on retainer for the day they need the other half.
Yes. We have expertise across compliance frameworks and can help align your security practices with the regulation that applies to you — including Kenya's Data Protection Act, GDPR, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS and sector-specific standards.
We prioritise the confidentiality and integrity of client information. We follow strict protocols and industry best practice, and maintain robust security measures around everything we hold. An NDA is available before any technical discussion begins.
Yes. We provide ongoing support, monitoring and maintenance to ensure the continued effectiveness of what we implemented, and to address emerging threats as they appear. We do not hand over a report and disappear.
Reach out through any of our contact channels and our team will discuss your specific needs, provide an initial consultation, and develop a tailored security solution for your organisation. A senior advisor replies within one business day — no sales scripts.
