The Opportunity

Problem

Kenyan hotels face rising data breaches that expose sensitive guest information due to outdated hospitality software without modern security features.

Solution

SecureStayKE overlays modern encryption and access controls on existing hospitality PMS via simple API integrations. It automatically encrypts sensitive guest info like IDs and payments at rest and in transit, while logging all access for audit trails. Real-time alerts notify managers of suspicious activity, preventing breaches proactively.

Target Audience

Owners and managers of Kenyan hotels relying on legacy hospitality management software

Differentiator

Seamless integration with legacy Kenyan PMS like Opera or Fidelio in under 30 minutes, no data migration needed.
