Regulations are tightening.
Your compliance doesn’t have to fall behind.
SecureWeb helps African small and midsize businesses get clearly documented, regulator-aligned data protection in as little as five business days — then stay protected with calm, ongoing oversight.
Cyber risk and compliance are no longer optional
Across Africa, small and medium enterprises are facing increased regulatory expectations, growing digital exposure, and limited internal capacity to manage both confidently. Most teams aren’t ignoring the risk — they’re simply stretched, unsure where to start, and wary of complexity they can’t sustain.
Practical, business-first security you can trust
SecureWeb delivers a full suite of cybersecurity and compliance services designed for African organizations navigating modern risk, regulation, and growth.
We combine technical expertise with operational clarity — so you can focus on business, not fear.
Compliance-in-a-Box™ — 5-Day Foundations Programme
Led by our Data Protection Lead who is progressing through formal training to become a certified Data Protection Officer (DPO), we:
- Map how personal data actually moves through your business
- Identify your obligations under Zimbabwe’s CDPA and related African regulations
- Create the essential records and policies regulators expect to see
- Highlight your real risks and the quick wins that reduce them fastest
At the end of the sprint, you leave with:
- A clear summary of your regulatory obligations and risk areas
- A Record of Processing Activities (RoPA) structured to match notification requirements
- A starter DPIA register, including any cross-border data flows
- Updated privacy notices and consent language aligned to the law
- A practical breach and incident playbook you can follow under pressure
- A simple roadmap for what to improve next over the following 3–6 months
By the end of the programme, you have a defensible starting position and a clear roadmap for the next 3–6 months.
After foundations: staying compliant, not just getting compliant
- Run with the roadmap internally, using our documentation and playbooks, or
- Ask SecureWeb to stay on as your ongoing security and compliance partner
Our subscriptions focus on:
- Keeping your controls, policies, and records alive, not shelfware
- Watching for changes in your environment that affect risk or compliance
- Providing calm, expert advice when something changes — or goes wrong
That’s where our Ongoing Protection Plans come in.

How we usually work
Most clients start with Compliance-in-a-Box™ to establish the foundation that gets their CDPA obligations, RoPA, DPIAs, and core policies into shape. From there, they choose an Ongoing Protection Plan that fits their risk profile, and COMING SOON in 2026 will be able to add DPO-as-a-Service if the law or their board expects a named DPO.
The result is simple: one partner, a clear roadmap, and calm support when regulators or incidents show up.
.
DPO-as-a-Service – when you need an official Data Protection Officer
Under Zimbabwe’s Cyber and Data Protection Act, many organisations are expected to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) – especially if they:
- Handle large volumes of customer data,
- Process children’s or sensitive data (health, finance, ID, biometrics), or
- Operate as a public body or in a high-risk sector.
Most small and midsize businesses can’t justify a full-time specialist. That’s where outsourced DPO-as-a-Service fits.
When does CDPA expect a DPO?
- You are a public authority or perform public functions.
- Your core activities involve regular, systematic monitoring of people (customers, users, staff).
- You process sensitive personal data at scale – e.g. health, financial, location, children’s or biometric data.
- You rely on multiple processors and cloud services, including cross-border transfers.
In these situations, having a named, competent DPO isn’t just best practice – it’s a key part of demonstrating accountability to POTRAZ and your customers.
COMING SOON!
SecureWeb as your outsourced DPO
- Acts as your official point of contact for POTRAZ and data subjects.
- Monitors compliance with CDPA, your policies, and your RoPA / DPIA register.
- Reviews and advises on DPIAs, especially for new systems or cross-border transfers.
- Leads awareness and training so your team understands their obligations.
- Coordinates breach assessment and DP3 reporting within the required 24-hour window.
DPO-as-a-Service is available as a simple add-on to our Core and Beyond-the-Box™ plans.
You get senior oversight and a named DPO without the cost and risk of hiring in-house.
Our Social Value Engine
That’s why a portion of SecureWeb’s revenue is reinvested into practical digital safety initiatives — designed to reduce risk, build confidence, and expand access without relying on donations or grants.
Our Social Value Engine focuses on:
- Digital safety education for schools, families, and youth
- Subsidised security and compliance support for low-profit and early-stage organisations
- Community awareness programmes that promote safer everyday use of technology
SecureWeb helps African small and medium enterprises manage data protection, cybersecurity and CDPA compliance in a practical, business-friendly way.
We bring your organisation to a clear, documented compliance position, reduce regulatory and breach risk, and give your team straightforward guidance so they can operate with confidence.
Our pricing is transparent and structured around risk, regulatory requirements, and the level of ongoing support you need.
We offer:
- Fixed-scope sprints such as Compliance-in-a-Box™ (a 5-day engagement), and
- Monthly or annual subscriptions for ongoing security and compliance support, with the option to add DPO-as-a-Service where required.
All pricing is agreed upfront, with clear scope and no hidden fees.
Start with a short consultation. We’ll review your environment, understand your risks and goals, and recommend the right next step — usually:
- a Compliance-in-a-Box™ 5-day sprint if you need to get to a defensible position quickly, or
- moving straight into an Ongoing Protection Plan if your basics are already in reasonable shape.
Either way, you leave with a clear roadmap and options for longer-term support.
We identify compliance gaps against Zimbabwe’s CDPA and related regulations, implement the key controls and policies, and create the documentation and oversight regulators expect to see.
Our work covers:
- RoPA, DPIAs, privacy notices and consent language
- Security measures and breach/incident playbooks
- Data controller licensing and, where needed, DPO-as-a-Service
Everything is led by certified professionals and designed to stand up to real regulatory scrutiny.
Not every organisation legally needs a DPO, but many are expected to have one under the CDPA – especially if you process large volumes of personal data, sensitive data, or children’s data, or you’re a public body.
During the Compliance-in-a-Box™ sprint we assess your obligations and tell you honestly whether a formal DPO appointment is recommended. If it is, you can:
- appoint someone internally and let us support them, or
- COMING SOON! use SecureWeb’s DPO-as-a-Service as your named DPO.
Yes. We regularly work alongside internal IT teams and external providers.
SecureWeb focuses on governance, compliance, and risk — defining what needs to be in place and why. Your IT team or provider can then implement many of the technical controls, while we keep the RoPA, DPIAs, policies, and regulator expectations in sync.
