Local team. World-class standards.
Cyber Pravitel is a Lusaka-based technology company that builds software and defends it. We're deliberately small and senior — the people who scope your work are the people who do it.
Why we build and secure under one roof.
We started Cyber Pravitel after watching too many Zambian businesses get their software from one vendor and treat security as an afterthought — usually until something broke. The two shouldn't be separate. Software that isn't secure isn't finished.
So we do both. We design and build the systems companies run on, and we protect them with the same team that understands how they were made. That's a rare combination locally, and it's the whole point of what we do.
We're early in our journey and honest about it. We work closely with a small number of clients rather than spreading ourselves thin — which is exactly why the work holds up.
Four principles we don't bend on.
Honesty first
We'd rather quote you the smaller, right-sized job and keep your trust than oversell and lose it. We say what we can and can't do.
One accountable team
No handoffs between five vendors. One team owns your work end to end, so nothing falls through the gaps.
Security by default
We build with security in mind from the first line of code — not as a bolt-on once something has already gone wrong.
Local & senior
Based in Lusaka, building for the region — with standards and rigour that hold up anywhere in the world.
“We didn't start Cyber Pravitel to be the biggest. We started it so a business in Lusaka could get software that's built properly and defended properly — from people who answer the phone.”
Work with a team that treats your systems like their own.
Whether you're building something new or worried about what you've already got, we're glad to talk it through.
