ESG/Data Protection & Privacy

Data Protection & Privacy

Protecting information through clear controls and accountability.

We take data privacy seriously. Our security framework ensures the confidentiality, integrity and availability of all client information, personal data, customer records, intellectual property and operational records, throughout the engagement lifecycle.

Our approach

Privacy is part of delivery design.

Adept is registered with Kenya's Office of the Data Protection Commissioner as both a Data Controller and Data Processor, and adheres to Kenya's Data Protection Act (2019) as well as international data-protection principles including GDPR.

Data-protection requirements are considered when designing workflows, assigning roles, providing system access and handling client information.

Strict access controlsRole-based permissions aligned to job responsibilities and the information required to perform the work.
Secure transmission & storageEncrypted storage and secure data transmission across systems and engagements.
Weekly security auditsRegular audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and close gaps early.
Comprehensive NDAsConfidentiality and non-disclosure obligations for all staff and partners.

Responsibility across the lifecycle

From access to closure.

Responsible data handling is not limited to technology controls. It also depends on clear ownership, controlled access, documented expectations and the people performing the work. We therefore combine governance, process controls and employee responsibilities across the lifecycle of an engagement.

For clients managing sensitive or regulated data, we offer customised data-handling protocols and client-specific compliance workflows to ensure maximum protection.

Specific security architecture, technical safeguards and client data-handling protocols are agreed according to the nature and risk profile of each engagement.
