BoT Cybersecurity & Compliance Readiness
Turn the Bank of Tanzania Cybersecurity and Cloud Computing Guidelines into an infrastructure position you can evidence to an examiner.

Why this matters
Most mid-tier institutions are not non-compliant on purpose. They are compliant on paper and undocumented in practice: policies exist, but segmentation, privileged access, logging, and tested recovery cannot be evidenced on the day an examiner asks. The gap only becomes visible under supervision — when it is expensive.
The risk of doing nothing
- Examination findings that require remediation on the regulator's timeline instead of yours.
- Cloud services adopted by business units without the due diligence the guidelines require.
- Privileged access that cannot be attributed to a named individual.
- Recovery capability that has never been tested against a stated recovery objective.
Our approach
How the work runs
- 01
Understand
Map your regulatory obligations against your actual infrastructure, not your policy library.
- 02
Assess
Test controls: segmentation, identity, logging, backup, recovery, and third-party exposure.
- 03
Report
Deliver a written gap analysis with findings ranked by supervisory and business impact.
- 04
Remediate
Sequence and execute fixes, then re-verify and document the evidence.
Expected business outcomes
What changes after this work
- A documented, defensible compliance position
- Findings closed before the next examination, not after
- A board pack that translates technical risk into business risk
- Remediation sequenced by exposure, not by vendor convenience
Frequently asked questions
Questions we are asked first
- Is this an audit?
- No. An audit tells you where you failed. This is a readiness assessment: it identifies the gaps before an examiner does and gives you a sequenced plan to close them.
- Do you replace our internal IT team?
- No. We work alongside them. Most internal teams know where the weaknesses are; they lack the mandate, time, or independent documentation to escalate them to the board.
- How long does the assessment take?
- Typically two to four weeks depending on the number of sites, systems, and third-party services in scope. You receive a written report either way.

Network & Security
Secure, segmented connectivity between your people, systems, and branches — designed to satisfy both attackers and auditors.
Server Infrastructure

Backup & Resilience
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.
