Data breaches and compliance failures can destroy customer trust and lead to heavy fines. When outsourcing business processes to Africa – or any region – security must be a top priority. Orbital Remote Services has built its operations around enterprise‑grade protection.
Here’s what we do to keep your data safe.
Compliance with International & Local Laws
- GDPR (Europe): We sign Data Processing Addendums (DPAs) and adhere to strict rules on data transfer, storage, and deletion.
- Kenya Data Protection Act (DPA): Orbital is fully registered with Kenya’s Office of Data Protection. The DPA mirrors GDPR principles, ensuring legal compliance locally.
- Industry Standards: While not SOC2 certified (yet), we follow SOC2‑type controls for access management, change control, and risk assessment.
Physical & Logical Security in Our Nairobi Center
Our Crescent Business Center facility includes:
- Biometric access – Only authorized personnel can enter work zones.
- 24/7 CCTV monitoring – Recordings retained for 90 days.
- No personal devices – Agents use company‑issued, locked‑down computers.
- VPN & encrypted connections – All traffic to client systems is tunneled and encrypted.
Data Access & Retention Policies
- Role‑based access – Agents see only the data necessary for their function.
- Automatic session logging – Every action is recorded and auditable.
- Data deletion upon contract end – After project completion, all client data is securely erased (certificate provided on request).
Employee Vetting & Training
- Background checks – Criminal clearance and employment verification for every agent.
- NDA signing – All staff sign confidentiality agreements.
- Annual security training – Phishing simulations, data handling, and breach reporting.
What You Can Do
Even with a secure partner, clients should:
- Use masked or test data during training phases.
- Limit data retention periods – delete what you don’t need.
- Require MFA for any agent access to your systems.
