MexilTech

Cybersecurity · Based in Kenya · Working globally

Clear-eyed cybersecurity for organisations anywhere.

We help you see what is happening on your systems, respond when something goes wrong, and find weaknesses before attackers do. Clear findings, plain language, no scare tactics.

What we do

Services

Start with the area that worries you most. Every engagement is scoped with you first and tailored to your needs.

pentest

Penetration testing

Find the weaknesses before someone else does.

Authorized, scoped testing of your applications and networks, followed by a report your developers and managers can act on.

  • Web application and API testing aligned to OWASP guidance
  • Android mobile application assessments
  • External and internal network testing
  • Wireless network assessments
  • Retest of fixed findings, where agreed

Signed authorization and an agreed scope before any testing begins.

monitoring

Security monitoring & SOC services

See what is happening on your systems.

We design, deploy and tune security monitoring on your SIEM or detection platform, so alerts are useful rather than noise. Ongoing monitoring options are agreed per client.

  • SIEM deployment or health review
  • Log onboarding from Windows, Linux and network devices
  • Detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
  • Alert triage runbooks and dashboards
  • Monitoring scope and hours agreed per engagement

Access to the systems to be monitored and a named internal contact.

incident response

Incident response & digital forensics

Something has gone wrong. Now what?

When you suspect a compromise, we help you contain it, collect evidence properly, and understand what happened and how to stop it recurring.

  • Initial triage and containment guidance
  • Endpoint evidence collection, disk and memory analysis
  • Timeline and root-cause analysis
  • Written incident report and remediation steps
  • Incident response plans and tabletop exercises

Response arrangements are agreed with each client in advance.

vulnerability

Vulnerability & attack surface management

Know what you expose to the internet.

We map your internet-facing assets, identify known weaknesses, and help you prioritise what to fix first.

  • External asset and subdomain discovery
  • Vulnerability scanning and validation
  • Risk-based prioritisation of fixes
  • Periodic re-assessment options

A list of domains and IP ranges you own and authorize us to assess.

grc

Governance, risk & compliance

Turn requirements into a practical plan.

We help you understand where you stand against recognised frameworks and data protection laws such as the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 and the EU GDPR, then build a realistic roadmap.

  • Gap analysis against NIST CSF and ISO/IEC 27001 controls
  • Data protection readiness (Kenya DPA 2019, GDPR)
  • Security policies and procedures
  • Risk assessments and remediation roadmaps

We support readiness work; we are not a certification body and do not issue certificates.

cloud

Cloud & network security reviews

Check the configuration, not just the perimeter.

Reviews of cloud accounts and network setups to catch misconfigurations, excessive access, and missing logging.

  • Cloud identity, storage and logging configuration review
  • Firewall rule and segmentation review
  • System hardening guidance for Windows and Linux
  • Prioritised findings with fix guidance

Read-only access to the environments in scope.

training

Security awareness training

Your people are part of the defence.

Practical, plain-language sessions that help staff spot phishing and social engineering and know how to report it.

  • Staff awareness sessions
  • Management and board briefings
  • Phishing simulation exercises (with written approval)
  • Format and length tailored to your team

Phishing simulations are only run with written sign-off from your management.

automation

Security automation

Less manual work, faster response.

Automated workflows that enrich alerts, open tickets and notify the right people, so your team spends time on decisions, not copying data.

  • Alert enrichment with threat-intelligence lookups
  • Ticketing and notification pipelines
  • Repeatable investigation playbooks
  • Handover documentation

Automation never takes containment actions without human approval unless you explicitly decide otherwise.

How we work

Scope

We agree goals, systems in scope, timelines and, for testing work, written authorization.

Execute

We do the work using recognised methods (such as OWASP, NIST and MITRE ATT&CK) and keep you updated.

Report & hand over

You get prioritised findings, practical fixes and a walkthrough with your team.

  • Authorization first: we only test with written permission
  • Confidential by default: findings go only to agreed contacts
  • Honest scope: if it is outside what we do well, we say so
