Financial institutions
Your regulator does not accept "we thought it was covered."
iDeploy is the infrastructure partner for Tanzanian banks, microfinance institutions, SACCOS, and insurers that must satisfy the Bank of Tanzania cybersecurity and cloud computing guidelines — and must be able to prove it on the day they are asked.
Who we work with
Tier 2 and Tier 3 banks
Supervised, growing, and running on infrastructure designed for a smaller institution.
Microfinance institutions
Branch networks expanding faster than the controls that are supposed to cover them.
SACCOS
Member data and core systems on platforms that were never formally designed.
Insurance companies
Policy administration and claims systems that cannot afford an unplanned day offline.
The regulatory reality
Compliance is an infrastructure question before it is a paperwork question.
Most institutions do not fail because they ignored the guidelines. They fail because the guidelines were answered with a policy document while the network, servers, identity, and backups stayed exactly as they were.
Cybersecurity Guidelines
Segmentation, privileged access, logging, incident response, and continuity — evidenced, not asserted.
Cloud Computing Guidelines
Due diligence, data location, exit strategy, and oversight for every cloud service holding institutional data.
Business continuity expectations
Recovery objectives that have been measured against a real restore, with the test documented.
Board accountability
Technology risk reported in business language, on a schedule, to the people answerable for it.
What we usually find
None of these are unusual. All of them are findable — by us now, or by a supervisor later.
Policies exist, but the controls behind them cannot be produced during an examination.
One flat network carrying the core system, tellers, CCTV, and staff Wi-Fi.
Domain controllers or core servers running an operating system that is out of support.
Backups that run nightly and have never been restored end to end.
Cloud services adopted by business units without a documented review.
Privileged accounts shared between staff and vendors, with no attribution.

Recovery that is tested and documented — because a backup nobody has restored is an assumption, not a plan, and BoT increasingly expects the difference to be provable.
Read more05Managed Infrastructure & Virtual CIO
Ongoing ownership of your infrastructure, plus the senior technology judgement most mid-tier institutions cannot justify hiring full time.

Better infrastructure decisions, made before the money — or the compliance exposure — is spent.
