Smartcomply, an African cybersecurity and compliance solutions provider, has launched a new partner initiative designed to create a robust security alliance that will transform the continent’s digital defence landscape.

The Smartcomply Partner Programme, announced in a statement on Monday, aims to build a dynamic ecosystem of consultants, technology firms, and security providers by equipping them with cutting-edge tools and comprehensive support.

It is expected to help partners tap into Africa’s rapidly growing cybersecurity market, which analysts project will exceed $10bn  by 2030.

According to the Chief Executive Officer, Gbemisola Osunrinde, the launch marks a strategic shift towards proactive and collaborative security solutions at a time when the continent faces increasing cyber risks driven by accelerated digital transformation and fintech expansion.

She said the programme moves away from fragmented and reactive cybersecurity practices, offering a unified framework through which partners can deliver intelligent, integrated, and locally relevant protection for enterprises.

Smartcomply is introducing the programme with an initial group of partners including TechHive, Commercio, Tech Falcon Holding, Platview Technologies, and enov8 Solutions Limited. These organisations are already deploying Smartcomply’s technology to broaden their reach and improve value delivery across Africa and the Middle East.

The partner programme offers multiple tiers of engagement with no upfront costs. Affiliate partners can earn recurring commissions for referring clients, while Smartcomply handles sales and technical support.

Reseller partners, on the other hand, are empowered to sell and manage client relationships directly, with access to training, sales tools and dedicated support. For more established firms, the white-label partnership tier offers full branding of Smartcomply’s solutions, full client ownership, and a larger share of revenue.

Group Chief Operating Officer of Solutions Benchmark Marine, Erigha Henry, described the programme as a well-structured ecosystem that goes beyond traditional, transactional models.

He noted that it fosters genuine collaboration and positions partners to deliver transformative solutions rather than just sell products.

The company said the strength of the alliance rests on its AI-driven suite of security tools.

Partners will gain access to Adhere, a platform for transaction monitoring, fraud detection, and KYC/AML compliance. They will also be able to use Secure, a governance and compliance solution that simplifies alignment with global standards such as ISO 27001, NDPA, GDPR, and PCI DSS.

In addition, the programme includes Intel, a proactive threat intelligence engine that provides dark web surveillance, breach detection, and brand protection. Partners will also benefit from Academy, a dedicated training platform designed to upskill cybersecurity teams and executives.

Osunrinde explained that the combination of advanced technology, simplicity of engagement, and strong revenue potential sets the initiative apart from others in the industry.

She noted that the firm is now actively seeking new partners with the ambition to lead cybersecurity transformation across Africa and the Middle East.
