Cybersecurity Baseline for Ghanaian SMEs in 2026
Ten controls every SME should have before scaling ads, payments, or customer data — mapped to how attackers actually target Ghanaian businesses.
SME breaches in Ghana still start with the same patterns: stolen email passwords, exposed admin panels, and untested backups. Fancy tools matter less than MFA on email, patched dependencies, and logs you can actually search when something looks wrong.
Minimum viable programme: MFA everywhere privileged, weekly backup restore test, dependency patching within 30 days of critical CVEs, phishing awareness for finance and HR, and a one-page incident contact list shared with leadership.
If you process payments or personal data, add vendor inventory, privacy notices that match reality, and payment callback verification. Use our free security self-assessment to score gaps, then prioritise the next 90 days with a partner who understands local rails and regulators.
