About StoneGuard
A next-generation data protection platform designed specifically for African businesses and organizations.
Our Mission
At StoneGuard, our mission is to democratize access to enterprise-grade data protection solutions for businesses across Africa. We believe that robust data security and protection should be accessible to organizations of all sizes, not just multinational corporations with large IT budgets.
We are committed to helping African businesses safeguard their most valuable asset—data—through innovative, affordable, and easy-to-implement solutions that meet both local and international compliance standards.
Our Story
StoneGuard was founded in 2023 by a team of cybersecurity experts and business leaders who recognized a critical gap in the African market: while data breaches and cyber threats were increasing, most local businesses lacked access to affordable, comprehensive data protection solutions.
After witnessing numerous small and medium-sized enterprises struggle with data breaches and compliance issues, our founders decided to create a solution specifically tailored to the African context—one that addresses unique regional challenges while adhering to global best practices.
Our Approach
Simplified Protection
We believe data protection shouldn't require a PhD to implement. Our platform offers enterprise-grade security with a user-friendly interface that even non-technical team members can navigate.
African-focused
Our solutions are built with an understanding of African business realities, including considerations for bandwidth constraints, power fluctuations, and regional compliance requirements.
Comprehensive Security
We provide end-to-end data protection that covers encryption, backup, disaster recovery, access control, and compliance monitoring in one integrated platform.
