CII cybersecurity advisory at the intersection of IEC 62443 and Kenya's Critical Information Infrastructure Regulations — where technical security meets regulatory obligation.
Two principles underpin every port254 engagement.
IEC 62443 is the only international standard purpose-built for securing industrial control systems. Every assessment, recommendation, and remediation roadmap we deliver is anchored to it — not ISO 27001 adapted for OT, not a generic framework stretched to fit. We hold ISA/IEC 62443 Expert certification across all four domains: fundamentals, risk assessment, system design, and maintenance.
Kenya's CII Regulations (Legal Notice 44 of 2024) are in force. The compliance deadlines have passed. NC4 has audit powers and can enter premises with 30 days' notice. We understand the regulation in detail — the obligation stack, the CISO requirements, the 24-hour incident reporting window, the data localisation rules — and we build that into every engagement so clients aren't managing two separate programmes.
port254 engagements are delivered by practitioners certified across the full CII security lifecycle — from regulatory compliance and risk assessment through to offensive security and industrial control system design.

We work with operators across Kenya's designated CII sectors where the security of operational infrastructure directly impacts safety, service delivery, and national resilience.
Power generation, transmission and distribution, and petroleum/gas networks. SCADA, EMS, DCS, and energy management system security. Kenya Power, KETRACO, KPLC and sector peers.
Water treatment, distribution, and wastewater management systems. Process control and remote site security across county and national water authorities.
Rail, aviation, maritime, and road transport control systems. Signalling, fleet management, port operations, and air navigation security.
Banking infrastructure, payment systems, and stock exchange technology. Critical systems underpinning Kenya's financial market integrity.
Kenya's energy, water, and transport infrastructure is undergoing rapid modernisation. World Bank and DFI-funded SCADA upgrades, smart grid deployments, and digital transformation programmes are connecting operational technology environments that were previously air-gapped — expanding the attack surface at the same time that Kenya's CII Regulations create enforceable compliance obligations.
The gap between IT security maturity and OT security maturity is significant. Most critical infrastructure operators have IT security functions — very few have OT-specific capability. IEC 62443, combined with the CII regulatory framework, provides the structure to close that gap systematically.
