⚠ Cybersecurity for Nigeria & Africa
Nigerian businesses lost $2.4 Billion to cyber attacks last year.
Most of those losses were not inevitable. They were the product of absent strategy, untested systems, and compliance obligations treated as paperwork rather than protection. QuotientSec works with SMEs and growing organisations across Nigeria and Africa to close those gaps, practically, without the pricing overhead designed for organisations ten times their size.
Security Strategy Consulting
Before you can secure anything, you need to know what you are protecting and why. Most Nigerian SMEs move straight to tools and controls without a strategy connecting them. The result is patchy protection and no credible answer when investors, partners, or regulators ask whether the business is actually secure.
A security strategy consulting engagement produces a documented, executable cybersecurity roadmap tailored to your organisation. We assess your current security posture, map it against your business objectives and the threat landscape relevant to your sector, identify priority gaps, and deliver a strategy you can act on immediately.
Security strategy consulting is the right starting point for any organisation that has never had a formal security review, is entering a new market or regulatory environment, or needs to present a credible security posture to investors, partners, or regulators.

- Gap analysis against the NDPA, ISO 27001, and relevant industry frameworks

Penetration Testing
A vulnerability assessment tells you what might be wrong. A penetration test tells you what an attacker can actually do with it. The distinction matters.
Our penetration testing engagements simulate real-world attacks against your web applications, mobile platforms, internal networks, cloud infrastructure, and APIs. Every test is manual-led, not automated checkbox compliance work. Reports are written for two audiences: technical teams and executives.
We work across fintech, healthcare, professional services, and e-commerce. All engagements are conducted under formal written authorisation, with full scope agreement before any testing begins.
Incident Response
When a breach hits, the speed and quality of your response determines whether you are dealing with a contained incident or a prolonged operational crisis.
We provide incident response support for organisations actively dealing with an attack and for those building readiness before one occurs. On the reactive side, we handle immediate triage, forensic investigation, and remediation. On the proactive side, we build plans, run tabletop exercises, and offer retainers.
Speed is the variable that separates manageable incidents from catastrophic ones. Organisations on retainer with us get priority response.
✓ What is included
- Reactive: Initial triage, containment, and forensic investigation
- NDPA breach notification drafting and NDPC submission
- Proactive: Incident response plan development
- Tabletop exercise facilitation
- Retainer arrangements with guaranteed response SLA
- Root cause analysis and post-incident reporting

Compliance Support
The NDPC has issued enforcement actions totalling over 5.2 billion naira. Compliance is no longer optional for Nigerian SMEs.
Our compliance support services are designed for businesses that need to get compliant and stay compliant without building an in-house legal and data protection function. We handle the operational work: data mapping, privacy documentation, and NDPC registration.
Any organisation collecting customer names, emails, or payment details is within scope of the NDPA. We help you navigate these requirements practically.
Cloud Security
Cloud deployment in Nigeria is growing fast, but speed of adoption rarely matches rigour of configuration.
We assess your cloud infrastructure against current security best practices, identify misconfigurations and access control gaps, and implement the controls needed to protect your data. We cover both AWS/Azure/GCP technical security and NDPA cross-border data transfer compliance.
Whether you are migrating to the cloud for the first time or have an existing environment that has never been formally reviewed, we start from where you are.
✓ What is included
- Cloud architecture security review
- Identity and access management (IAM) assessment
- Misconfiguration audit (Compute, Storage, Network)
- Data classification and protection controls
- NDPA cross-border transfer compliance check
- Remediation roadmap with implementation support

Enterprise Backup
Ransomware is the most financially damaging cyber threat facing Nigerian SMEs today. A backup that has never been restored is just an assumption.
We design, implement, and test backup systems built for operational resilience. This includes appropriate frequency, offsite isolation, and documented recovery procedures that confirm your backups actually work when the primary network is compromised.
For businesses subject to the NDPA, we align backup practices with the Act’s data security requirements to ensure business continuity.
