As Ghanaian businesses digitize, they become targets. Fraud, data breaches, and compliance gaps carry real financial and reputational cost. Amentem assesses your risks, closes the gaps, and gets you compliant with Ghana's Data Protection Act — practical security sized for your business.
What we do
We assess your security posture, bring you into line with the Data Protection Act, put fraud and financial controls in place, and train your staff — because most breaches start with a person, not a system.
What's included
Security and vulnerability assessments; Data Protection Act (Act 843) compliance; fraud and internal-control design; access and password policy; incident response planning; and staff security-awareness training.
Why Amentem
We translate security into business terms and prioritise by real risk, so you spend on what actually protects the business rather than on fear.
Who this is for
- Businesses holding customer personal data
- Companies that have had a fraud or a scare
- Organisations needing Data Protection Act compliance
- Teams where everyone shares one password

2. Prioritise
Risks ranked by real business impact, not a generic checklist.
3. Fix
Controls, policies and access management put in place.
4. Train
Staff awareness, because most breaches start with a person.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Data Protection Act and does it apply to me?
Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) governs how you collect and handle personal data. Most businesses that hold customer information are covered. We assess your obligations and get you compliant.
How do I protect my business from fraud?
A combination of internal controls, access management and staff awareness stops most fraud. We design controls that fit how your business actually operates.

Where we work
We are headquartered in Accra and work across Ghana — Kumasi, Takoradi, Tamale, Cape Coast and Ho — and with clients throughout West Africa, including Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal and Togo.
Beyond the region, we support companies expanding into East and Southern African markets such as Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and South Africa under the AfCFTA, and we advise international businesses entering Africa for the first time.
We also work extensively with the diaspora. Whether you are in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands or the Gulf, we act as your accountable team on the ground and report in your time zone.
Working with Amentem
Every engagement is led by a partner, not handed to a junior. You get one accountable point of contact, written updates you can act on, and clear scope agreed before any work starts — so you always know what is being done, by whom, and what it costs.
We work remotely as standard, which means distance is never a barrier. Documents are shared securely, meetings are scheduled around your time zone, and you receive the same standard of service whether you are down the road in Accra or several continents away.
What it costs and how long it takes
Every engagement is scoped and priced before it starts, so there are no surprises. Smaller pieces of work are quoted as a fixed fee; ongoing support is available on a monthly retainer. We will tell you honestly if what you need is smaller than you think, or if it is not something we should be doing for you at all.
Timelines depend on what is involved and on third parties such as registries, regulators and counterparties. We give you a realistic schedule at the outset and tell you promptly when something outside our control changes it.
Why this matters
Most of the expensive problems we are asked to fix were cheap to prevent. A missed filing, an unverified title, a system nobody was trained on, a contract nobody read — each starts small and compounds. Getting this right early costs a fraction of correcting it later, and it removes the risk that quietly limits what your organisation can do next.
