ITAudit&InfrastructureinWestlands
Nairobi metro · Kenya
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.

What the numbers say about leaving this alone
An audit is cheap. Finding out what an audit would have told you, during an incident or an inspection, is not.
The ODPC draft Strategic Plan reports 82 audits or inspections, 62 reported data breaches, and 10 penalty notices.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about IT Audit & Infrastructure in Westlands.
What does a 912 IT audit cover?
A 912 IT audit is a 5-day stack review covering five domains: security posture (firewall, identity, endpoint, email), infrastructure (cloud, server, network, backup), licensing and vendor contracts, process and documentation maturity, and ODPC DPA 2019 compliance gaps. Output: a written report with prioritised remediation roadmap and an itemised cost-savings estimate.
How much does an IT audit cost?
Free for prospective clients — we offer a free 5-day IT audit as the entry point to our One Contract model. For existing audit-only engagements (no follow-on managed services), we charge KES 350,000 to KES 1.2M depending on scope. Most audits identify 30–40% duplicate spend or compliance gaps that pay for themselves within 90 days.
How long does an audit take?
Standard engagement: 5 working days of fieldwork plus 3 days of report writing. The fieldwork is non-disruptive — interviews, configuration reviews, and read-only tool deployments. We never make changes during an audit.
What deliverables do we get?
A written executive summary, a detailed findings register (typically 30–80 items prioritised by risk), a 90-day remediation roadmap, an itemised cost-savings projection, and an ODPC DPA compliance gap analysis. All deliverables are presented in a debrief workshop with your leadership team.
Does the audit cover physical security?
Yes — 912's scope is unique in Kenya because we cover physical and digital security under one engagement. CCTV blind spots, electric fence calibration, access control credential hygiene, and server-room environmental controls are all part of the audit.
Who conducts the audit?
A team of 3 senior engineers — one security lead (CISSP or equivalent), one infrastructure lead, and one applications/data lead. All audits are signed off by 912's Head of Engineering. References available on request.
