Astute NSC designs, secures and runs the technology behind small and mid-sized organisations across East Africa, from IT strategy and infrastructure modernisation to day-to-day managed support.
Based in Nairobi. Working with clients across East Africa.
The three letters in our name are the three things we do. Most organisations need a mix, delivered by one team.
Fast, reliable connectivity across your offices, sites and users.
Find and close the gaps in your defences before someone else finds them.
Modern, well-governed platforms your people can rely on, wherever they work.
From setting direction to keeping the lights on, choose the level of support that fits your organisation.
A technology plan that follows your business plan. We review your current estate, costs and risks, then build a roadmap with priorities, budgets and vendor choices your leadership can approve.
Your IT department, without the hiring. For organisations with no in-house IT staff, or a team that needs backup, we provide day-to-day support under an agreed service level.
Senior engineering expertise for the projects that matter most. We lead the work, or guide your team through it, from design to handover.
A defined scope and a written report with a prioritised action plan. The report is yours to keep, whether or not you work with us afterwards.
Scanning and manual verification of your internet-facing and internal systems, with every finding ranked by risk and paired with a fix.
Performance, resilience and configuration review of your LAN, wireless coverage and internet links.
Identity, multi-factor sign-in, file sharing, email protection and admin access, checked against Microsoft's security baselines.
Where personal data lives in your systems, who can reach it, and the technical controls Kenya's Data Protection Act expects you to have.
Which workloads to move, what they will cost to run in the cloud, and what is better left on-premises.
We document your current setup and the risks in it, through structured interviews and hands-on checks.
You get a prioritised roadmap with costs, so you decide what to fix now and what can wait.
We carry out the changes. Hardware and licences come through established local distributors, so warranties and support stay in-country.
Managed services keep your systems patched, monitored and supported under an agreed service level.
Small and mid-sized organisations in:
Microsoft, Fortinet and Cisco, with equipment and licences sourced through local distribution partners.
Part of every engagement goes back into the next generation of East African engineers.
Six-month paid placements for students from diverse backgrounds.
Structured career mentorship, with a focus on young women in STEM.
Working with sponsors to bring computers and internet access to under-served schools.
