Data Protection & Privacy Compliance in Kenya
Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019 established a comprehensive data protection framework that applies to all organizations processing personal data of individuals in Kenya. The Act, modeled on the EU's GDPR, imposes obligations on data controllers and data processors including registration with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC), obtaining consent, implementing security measures, and respecting data subject rights.
LHK Advocates provides end-to-end data protection compliance services, helping organizations understand their obligations, build compliant data processing practices, and respond to regulatory inquiries and data breaches. We advise across all sectors including financial services, healthcare, technology, telecommunications, and e-commerce.
With the ODPC actively enforcing the Act and issuing guidance on specific compliance requirements, organizations that have not yet achieved compliance face increasing regulatory risk. Our team helps you move from assessment to implementation efficiently, providing practical solutions that integrate with your existing business processes.
