CWG Ghana, a leading technology solutions provider, has been licensed by the Cyber Security Authority (CSA) as a Tier 1 Cybersecurity Service Provider (CSP). This prestigious recognition places CWG Ghana among the first companies to receive this accreditation under the Ghana Cybersecurity Act, 2020, marking a significant milestone in its journey and reinforcing its position as a regional cybersecurity leader.
"This is an immensely proud moment for us. It validates our relentless commitment to working hard and smart while following best practices for the best interests of our clients and stakeholders. This recognition is not just an accolade, but a responsibility we take very seriously,” Harriet Attram Yartey, Managing Director of CWG Ghana, said.
CWG Ghana offers a comprehensive suite of cybersecurity services that address current challenges in the national digital landscape. These services include Identity and Access Management, Penetration Testing, Breach and Attack Simulation, Data Protection, Email Security Solutions, Enterprise and Endpoint Security, Threat Intelligence & Digital Risk Protection, Enterprise Fraud Management, Anti-Money Laundering, and Governance, Risk and Compliance solutions.
Mrs. Yartey elaborated on the company's approach, explaining that it deploys context-aware, customer-aware, real-time, cross-channel solutions that monitor enterprise-wide 360º, digesting all transactions and actions for necessary intervention and prevention. “This is particularly crucial at a time when Ghana has already experienced 4 million data breaches halfway through the year. Our goal is to create a robust defence against the ever-evolving cyber threats,” she added.
To meet the stringent requirements of the Cybersecurity Act, 2020, CWG Ghana has implemented a series of robust measures. These include conducting regular internal and external audits, providing continuous employee training on cybersecurity best practices, establishing incident reporting systems, and maintaining thorough documentation of all compliance activities.
The company is also at the forefront of adopting advanced technologies to stay ahead of cyber threats. "We are investing in AI-driven security analytics and machine learning algorithms to identify and respond to threats in real-time," Mrs. Yartey explained. "We are also implementing a Zero Trust security model and enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication for all access points to add extra layers of security,” she added.
Looking to the future, CWG Ghana has ambitious plans to contribute to strengthening Ghana's cybersecurity infrastructure, including the launch of a robust cybersecurity training and awareness drive through our CWG Training Academy.
"This initiative aims to empower corporate institutions and individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to protect themselves in the digital space. We believe that investing intelligently in AI-driven solutions and human capacity building is key to staying ahead of the curve in protecting individuals and businesses in both the real and digital worlds,” the CWG MD stated.
The company's future strategy also includes closer collaboration with the CSA and participation in national and international cybersecurity initiatives. This approach aims to ensure that CWG Ghana remains at the cutting edge of cybersecurity practices and continues to meet the highest standards in the industry.
As cyber threats continue to evolve and the line between the physical and digital worlds becomes increasingly blurred, CWG Ghana is positioned to play a pivotal role in safeguarding Ghana's digital future. "We are not just protecting data; we are securing Ghana's digital future, and this Tier 1 CSP status is a testament to our capabilities, but more importantly, it is a pledge to our clients and Ghana that we will continue to innovate, educate, and protect against the cyber threats of today and tomorrow."
