About Market Light
Who we are, and why we exist.
Market Light is a Nairobi-based cybersecurity and technology company protecting the financial institutions that power the East African economy.
Our story
Built where it matters
Market Light Business Solutions was founded to close a gap our team kept seeing across East Africa: regulated institutions buying world-class security technology but lacking the local, accountable expertise needed to operate it.
We assembled a senior team that had led security at Kenyan banks, telcos and regional financial groups, paired it with partnerships across the global vendors that matter, and built a service model that puts named, local engineers behind every customer.
Today we secure banks, microfinance institutions, SACCOs and selected enterprise across Kenya and the wider East African Community — combining global-grade technology with deep local context.
Our Mission
To protect and strengthen the institutions that power East Africa's economy by combining trusted global technology with deep local expertise and dependable support.
Our Vision
To be East Africa's most trusted cybersecurity partner — the first call regulated institutions make to defend, detect, respond and improve.
Core values
What we hold ourselves to
Trust & integrity
We hold ourselves to the standard our customers' regulators demand.

Compliance & governance
Frameworks we live in
We operate to the standards we hold our customers to: ISO/IEC 27001 aligned controls, the Data Protection Act 2019, and the relevant Central Bank of Kenya and SASRA guidance our customers fall under. Our team's certifications include CISSP, CISM, CISA, OSCP, CREST, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor and the Microsoft Security stack (SC-100, SC-200, SC-300).
