90% of cyberattacks exploit human error. We're on a mission to make every employee in East Africa — from the CEO to the intern — cybersecurity aware.
ShieldIQ was born out of a simple observation: businesses in East Africa are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, yet most employees have never received a single hour of cybersecurity training.
Expensive enterprise solutions exist — but they're built for Fortune 500 companies in New York, not SMEs in Nairobi. They don't include scenarios about MPESA fraud, local phishing tactics, or threats specific to the East African digital landscape.
We built ShieldIQ to change that. Affordable, AI-powered, built for Africa, and designed to actually work — not just tick a compliance box.
Built for East African businesses with scenarios, threats, and context that matter here. Not a copy-paste of a Western product.
Our neural network identifies individual weak areas and adapts training — so every employee gets exactly what they need, not generic content.
Priced for African SMEs. Starting free, scaling affordably. We believe security awareness shouldn't be a luxury only big companies can afford.
We eat our own cooking — ShieldIQ is built with MFA, email verification, JWT auth, and security-first architecture.
