Cybervergent, a technology company focused on governance, risk and compliance systems, has released version 3.0 of its platform and expanded operations into Kenya, Ghana and South Africa.

The update introduces a model based on continuous verification, replacing periodic compliance checks with ongoing monitoring of risk and control environments. According to the company, the platform uses an AI-driven engine to validate audit and monitoring findings before they are surfaced to enterprise dashboards.

“We built verification into the architecture,” said Ayomide Daniels, co-founder and chief scientist at Cybervergent. “If a finding is not traceable back to source documentation, it does not reach the dashboard.”

The system brings together risk management, compliance, audit and data security into a single platform that can operate across both cloud and on-premise environments. It also maps more than 4,500 controls aligned with regulatory and industry frameworks, including the Nigeria Data Protection Act, ISO 27001 and SOC 2.

Cybervergent said its first customer deployment in South Africa is part of its expansion into regulated sectors, where organisations are under pressure to manage increasingly complex compliance requirements across multiple jurisdictions.

To support this rollout, the company is adopting a partner-led approach, working with system integrators and local partners in cities such as Lagos, Accra and Johannesburg. The model is designed to scale implementation while adapting to regional regulatory and operational contexts.

The company, which rebranded from Infoprivacy in 2023, previously focused on data privacy compliance in West Africa. Its current platform reflects a shift toward integrating governance and security functions into a single system, with an emphasis on continuous monitoring and verification rather than periodic reporting.
