Cybersecurity for Zimbabwe Businesses
1. Securing your website
Many business websites have fixable problems the owner never sees: missing security headers, weak password resets, outdated software. These basics are where many real-world attacks start.
2. Penetration testing
A penetration test is hiring someone to break into your systems (with permission) so you find the holes before a criminal does. Here's what it involves and what it costs locally.
3. The Data Protection Act
Zimbabwe's Data Protection Act is in force, and POTRAZ now licenses data controllers. Almost every business collects customer data, and if you do, you have obligations. Getting compliant is mostly practical housekeeping.
4. When things go wrong
If you discover you've been hacked, the first hour matters more than the panic. A calm, ordered response limits the damage and keeps you on the right side of the law.
5. Email & domain security
Attackers don't only target your website. They impersonate your email and register lookalike domains to phish your customers. SPF, DMARC, and domain monitoring close those gaps.
