IT, cloud and security services in Westlands
Westlands hosts the highest density of B2B corporate headquarters in Nairobi — financial services, professional services, technology firms, and embassies cluster along Waiyaki Way, Ring Road Westlands, and Rhapta Road. Many of these organisations run business-critical workloads that don't tolerate the firefighting model most local IT vendors default to. From our office on Rhapta Road at SK Offices, 912 delivers the same services we run across anonymized manufacturer, residential-property, and professional-services engagements — managed IT retainers, SAP HANA DR, server virtualization, FortiGate cybersecurity, IT audits, 3CX telephony, and CCTV with same-day response across the Westlands corridor. The engagement model is consistent across every service: scope first, document everything, ship on a defined timeline, and keep one team accountable end-to-end.

Infrastructure context
Westlands has stable grid power vs. the Kenyan average but still benefits from UPS + generator backup for mission-critical workloads. Fibre last-mile is widely available; Safaricom MPLS coverage is strong; multiple ISP redundancy is straightforward to architect here.
Compliance considerations
- •KRA ETIMS — VAT-registered businesses require ETIMS-compliant invoicing; our SAP HANA DR scope explicitly tests ETIMS after failover.
- •Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) — Data Protection Act 2019 compliance shapes endpoint policy, log retention, and breach reporting workflows.
- •Sector regulators — CBK directives for banks, IRA for insurance, CMA for capital-markets firms.
