CWG Ghana achieves Tier-1 Cybersecurity Service Provider status

 CWG Ghana, a leading technology solutions provider, has been licensed by the CyberSecurity Authority (CSA) as a Tier-1 Cybersecurity Service Provider (CSP).

The 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 in a statement issued in Accra yesterday.

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.

“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.
