Why small and medium businesses in Accra and beyond are the new favourite target for cybercriminals — and the five controls that stop 90% of attacks.
Small and medium enterprises in Ghana handled a record volume of digital transactions in 2025, but fewer than one in five had a documented incident response plan.
Cybercriminals have noticed.

In this guide we walk through each control, the realistic cost in Ghana cedis, and how to phase them in over 90 days without disrupting operations.
