Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Legal Services in Kenya– Safeguarding Your Digital Future
In today’s hyper-connected world, data is one of the most valuable assets a business owns and one of the most vulnerable. The rise of digital platforms, fintech solutions, cloud computing, e-commerce, and artificial intelligence has transformed how businesses operate, but it has also introduced significant data security and regulatory challenges.
At Thomas Louis Advocates (TLA), we help businesses navigate the complex legal landscape of data privacy, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies. Whether you’re a startup building your first platform, a fintech scaling across East Africa, or a corporate managing sensitive customer data, our legal team provides forward-thinking, practical, and tech-aligned solutions.
The Growing Importance of Data Privacy
With the enforcement of Kenya’s Data Protection Act (DPA), organizations now face stricter obligations on how personal data is collected, stored, and used. From financial institutions handling sensitive client information to startups processing customer sign-ups, businesses must prioritize compliance or risk penalties, lawsuits, and reputational damage.
We guide organizations in understanding and meeting these obligations, ensuring your business processes are legally sound and aligned with industry best practices.
