Sekur Private Data Ltd. (CSE: SKUR, OTCQB: SWISF, FRA: GDT0), a Swiss-hosted cybersecurity provider known for its privacy-first communication tools, has formally launched operations in Africa. The company appointed Christophe Kabeya as Director of Government & Corporate Sales for Central and Southern Africa, signaling a focused push into Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) — two high-risk regions with a combined population exceeding 150 million.
Africa Rollout Begins in Angola and DRC
In July 2025, Sekur set its sights on launching full-scale operations in Africa by September 2025, with Kabeya expected to spearhead government and telecom partnerships. This expansion is timely:
- Over 90% of African businesses are operating without basic cybersecurity protocols, according to Interpol
- Cybercrime cost the continent an estimated $4 billion USD in 2021
- Mobile internet penetration is projected to hit 51% by the end of 2025
Sekur’s pitch of Swiss-hosted, non-Big-Tech, encrypted platforms has strongly resonated in preliminary talks with government entities, positioning it as a viable privacy-first alternative in a region underserved by robust data protection standards.
Leveraging a Larger Continental Strategy
This expansion isn’t isolated. Sekur has been laying the groundwork for months, initiating conversations with local referral partners in:
- Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Mozambique, Uganda, and Zimbabwe
While Angola and DRC are first in line, the company views the continent as a long-term growth engine.
Strategic Edge: Swiss Jurisdiction and Data Privacy
Sekur’s offerings are built on the promise of:
- Zero data mining
- No third-party hosting
- Full independence from U.S., U.K. or EU data laws
- Full privacy and security while communicating within and outside of Sekur platform
This makes it particularly attractive to African governments and enterprises wary of cyber attacks, foreign surveillance or compliance risks.
Potential Market Growth & Revenue Outlook
Africa’s digital economy is booming, with mobile internet penetration projected to surpass 50% in 2025 and cybercrime losses steadily increasing. Sekur’s entry into Angola and the DRC puts it at the center of a high-need, low-competition environment.
Let’s break down the revenue potential based on different market penetration rates among corporate and governmental users in Angola and DRC (estimated addressable pool: 60 million connected individuals):
- 0.05% adoption (30,000 users) → US$5.4M–US$9M annually
- 0.1% adoption (60,000 users) → US$10.8M–US$18M annually
- 0.5% adoption (300,000 users) → US$54M–US$90M annually
- 1% adoption (600,000 users) → US$108M–US$180M annually
These estimates assume an average revenue per user (ARPU) of US$15–US$25/month, which reflects Sekur’s new consumer pricing structure and feature set announced in July 2025.
Business and Corporate accounts have an ARPU of US$35 to US$120/month, and Sekur is targeting at least 500,000 business and government users in Angola and the DRC, generating annual revenues between US$17.5 million to US$60 million.
With regional expansion into Nigeria, Mozambique, Kenya, and Uganda on the roadmap, Sekur could tap into a significantly broader customer base, pushing total African revenues beyond $100 million annually within the next 3–5 years.
The takeaway? Even a fractional share of Africa’s digital security market could make Sekur’s African operations highly profitable — and potentially game-changing for the company’s global financial outlook.
Price Hike Signals Confidence in Value
In tandem with this expansion, Sekur raised its subscription prices by 35% to 110% in July 2025 across all plan tiers. This includes significant upgrades like:
- 20 alias email addresses 📧
- SEC-compliant archiving 🗄️
- White-labeling and multi-user controls
These enhancements have increased the company’s expected average revenue per user (ARPU) by 50%, adding a significant boost to revenue potential as it scales globally.
Bottom Line
Sekur’s methodical entrance into Africa — backed by strong leadership, regional partnerships, and a globally competitive product suite — positions the company to fill a critical privacy void in the continent’s cybersecurity space. As adoption grows, Sekur could soon evolve from a niche Swiss provider into a continental privacy leader — and investors are taking notice.
