Global Standards — Included in Every Exercise

The International Frameworks Your Organization Already Answers To

From Nairobi to Kampala to Addis Ababa — these are the global standards governing OT/ICS cybersecurity best practice. Every exercise maps to them, ensuring East African operations meet the same bar as global counterparts and satisfy corporate audit requirements.

IEC 62443
Industrial Cybersecurity Standard

The global benchmark for IACS security — referenced by East African energy, telecoms, and water sector operators. Scenarios map to security levels and control domains.

NIST SP 800-82
ICS Security Guide (Rev. 3)

NIST's definitive OT security guide — widely adopted by East African fintech and telecoms multinationals. Threat scenarios reference Rev. 3 controls across all sectors.

CISA CTEP
Cyber Tabletop Exercise Program

All 47 exercises align to CISA CTEP objectives with CPG 2.0 framework mapping and structured After Action Report export for regulatory defensibility.

ISO 27001
Information Security Management

Widely required by East African banking regulators and international investors. Scenarios support Annex A controls for risk assessment and incident response.

NIS2
EU Network & Information Security Directive

European multinationals with East African operations must comply with NIS2 globally. Pro plan includes NIS2 compliance filters for essential and important entities.

DORA
Digital Operational Resilience Act

Pan-African banks and fintech firms with EU exposure apply DORA globally. Scenarios address ICT risk management and resilience testing requirements.

NERC CIP
Critical Infrastructure Protection

Energy sector multinationals with East African geothermal, hydro, and power generation assets apply NERC CIP across all sites globally.

NIST CSF 2.0
Cybersecurity Framework

Exercises cover all CSF 2.0 functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover — the universal baseline applied across the EAC region.

East African Regulatory Context

Layered with Local Regulatory Alignment

Global standards form the foundation — East African regulations add the regional layer. Your teams exercise in context of both, producing evidence defensible to every regulator from Nairobi to Kampala.

Kenya DPA 2019
Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 & CA Cybersecurity Directives

Kenya's comprehensive data protection law and the Communications Authority's cybersecurity directives govern incident notification and data handling for critical infrastructure operators across the EAC hub.

EPRA
Energy & Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Kenya)

EPRA regulates cybersecurity requirements for electricity, petroleum, and renewable energy sectors in Kenya. Energy sector exercises reference EPRA reporting obligations and operational continuity requirements.

EAC Framework
East African Community Cybersecurity Framework & Regional Standards

The EAC provides the regional coordination framework for cross-border incident response across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and South Sudan — exercises reflect cross-border notification complexity.

UCC / TCRA
Uganda Communications Commission & Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority

Telecoms and internet infrastructure operators in Uganda and Tanzania are subject to UCC and TCRA cybersecurity regulations — exercises address incident reporting obligations for regional telecoms operators.

For Multinationals with East African Operations

Global HQ. East African Sites. One Platform.

The Challenge
Your Nairobi, Kampala, or Dar es Salaam facility must meet both: corporate global standards AND Kenya DPA / EAC obligations

Telecoms multinationals, energy developers, and pan-African banks with EAC operations don't choose between IEC 62443 and Kenya DPA 2019 — they answer to both simultaneously. Generic exercises address neither properly.

  • HQ mandates IEC 62443, ISO 27001, and NIST compliance globally
  • Kenya DPA 2019 and CA directives apply to Nairobi operations
  • EAC cross-border incident notification adds regional coordination complexity
  • Geothermal, hydro, and solar energy assets bring EPRA obligations
The Skyhigh Solution
One exercise library. Global standards built in. East African regulatory context layered on top.

Every scenario maps to IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, ISO 27001, and DORA. East African teams run the same quality exercises as European and US counterparts — with Kenya DPA, EPRA, and EAC regulatory framing included.

  • Global compliance evidence for corporate audit and international investors
  • Local context for Kenya DPA 2019, EPRA, UCC, and EAC frameworks
  • After Action Reports defensible to both HQ and East African regulators
  • English support across all EAC member states
