about technova

Software and security shouldn't be two different vendors.

Technova Kenya was founded on a simple frustration: development teams ship fast, security teams find problems late, and the gap between them is where breaches happen. We closed that gap by building both disciplines into one team.

our approach

Secure by design, not by accident

Security reviews don't happen after launch — they happen during design, during code review, and again before every release. It's slower in week one and far faster by month six, because we're not retrofitting fixes into production code.

who we work with

Businesses that can't afford downtime

From fintechs and SACCOs to e-commerce platforms and NGOs handling sensitive data, we work with organisations across Kenya and East Africa for whom a breach or an outage isn't just embarrassing — it's existential.

what we value

Three principles behind every engagement.

Transparency over theatre

No padded reports. You get the real findings, prioritised by actual risk, with plain explanations of impact.

Ownership, not handoffs

The engineers who build your system are the same ones who secure and support it. Nothing gets lost in translation.

Built for the long run

We write code and architecture we're willing to maintain in three years, not just demo today.
