We’re Bringing the Smartcomply Compliance & Cybersecurity Breakfast Session to Nairobi

Over the last few years, Africa’s digital economy has grown faster than anyone predicted. AI is no longer experimental. Financial services are fully digital. Data is moving across borders every second. But one thing has not grown at the same pace: digital trust.

At Smartcomply, this gap is something we see every day. Organisations are scaling fast, adopting new technologies, and innovating boldly, yet cybersecurity, data protection, and governance are often treated as secondary concerns.

This is why Smartcomply Compliance & Cybersecurity Breakfast Session (SCCB) is back and why we are bringing the conversation to Nairobi.

On 26 February 2026, we will host The Secure Horizon Executive Breakfast at the Radisson Blu Nairobi. This is an invitation-only gathering designed for senior leaders who understand that trust is now a business issue, not just a technical one.

Why Nairobi, and Why Now

East Africa, and Kenya in particular, sits at the centre of Africa’s digital and financial innovation. Banks, fintechs, regulators, and technology providers here are shaping how millions of people interact with digital systems daily.

At the same time, AI adoption is accelerating faster than security frameworks and regulatory readiness. Cyber threats are becoming more coordinated. Data protection expectations are increasing. The cost of getting it wrong is no longer theoretical; it is financial, reputational, and operational.

We believe this moment calls for leadership-level conversations, not surface-level discussions, and that is what the Smartcomply Compliance & Cybersecurity Breakfast Session (SCCB) has always stood for.

Smartcomply Compliance & Cybersecurity Breakfast Session (SCCB) is not a typical industry event. It is a closed-door leadership forum built around one idea: Africa needs proactive, resilient digital systems, not reactive compliance.

The Secure Horizon brings together executives across banking, fintech, technology, regulation, cybersecurity, risk, and compliance to have honest, peer-level conversations about:

• How AI is changing risk exposure

• What cyber resilience really looks like in practice

• How regulation and enforcement are evolving

• What leaders must do today to protect trust tomorrow?

A key moment at the breakfast will be the launch of our new desktop research report: “AI & the Cyber Frontier: Securing East Africa’s Digital Future.”

Developed in collaboration with TechCabal, the research explores how AI adoption, cyber threats, and regulatory expectations are converging across East Africa’s financial and technology sectors.

The report is grounded in real insights from Africa’s cybersecurity ecosystem and is designed to help leaders understand where the real risks are and what practical steps matter most.

The findings will anchor a research-led panel discussion during the breakfast.

The Secure Horizon programme also includes executive keynotes, a regulatory fireside dialogue, and an industry recognition segment celebrating organisations that are actively strengthening cyber resilience and digital trust across Kenya’s financial ecosystem.

Attendance is strictly by invitation, and this is intentional because the quality of the room matters more than the size of the room.

Smartcomply’s Commitment to East Africa

This event also marks Smartcomply’s formal entry into the Kenyan market. Our commitment to East Africa is not transactional or short-term. We are here to support institutions with trusted technology, ecosystem collaboration, and practical capacity development as the digital economy continues to grow.

Smartcomply Compliance & Cybersecurity Breakfast Session (SCCB)  returning this time in Nairobi is part of that commitment.

Join us in the conversation shaping digital trust in East Africa.
