  • Special Audit of the eCitizen Platform 2024
    Government of Kenya (Office of the Auditor-General)

    Following a major DDoS attack in July 2023 and concerns over revenue transparency, the Auditor-General conducted a special audit of the eCitizen portal. The audit identified critical vulnerabilities in system governance, vendor control, and data ownership.

    The audit report provided a roadmap for strengthening the national digital infrastructure, emphasizing the need for regular independent security audits of public-facing systems.

  • SASRA Cybersecurity Compliance Directive 2024
    Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA)

    In 2023 and 2024, SASRA issued directives to all regulated Saccos to conduct mandatory cybersecurity audits and system monitoring. This was prompted by an increase in cyber-attacks targeting the Sacco sub-sector's mobile money and third-party integrations.

    Mandatory offline backups and 24-hour surveillance were implemented across 176 deposit-taking Saccos to protect member funds.

Sector-level context showing where this capability is relevant in Mombasa.

01

Maritime & Port Logistics

The Port of Mombasa is one of the largest and busiest in East and Central Africa, with direct connectivity to over 80 ports worldwide, making maritime logistics the city's dominant economic sector.

02

Tourism & Hospitality

Mombasa is Kenya's premier coastal tourism destination, with beach resorts, marine parks and proximity to Tsavo and Shimba Hills driving a large hospitality workforce.

03

Manufacturing & Refining

Mombasa hosts a cement plant, oil refinery, steel mill and aluminium rolling mill, forming an industrial base linked to the port's import-export flows.

04

Telecommunications & BPO

Training venue

Mombasa offers a range of hotels from international-standard beach resorts in Nyali and Diani to business-class properties on Mombasa Island, many of which have conference and training facilities. Delegates should confirm venue AV equipment and room layout in advance, as standards vary.

Getting there

No direct flights operate from Portugal to Mombasa; typical one-stop connections are available on Turkish Airlines via Istanbul or Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa to Moi International Airport (MBA), with a total journey time of approximately 13–16 hours.

Visa

Portuguese passport holders need a Kenya Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before flying to Kenya; one source for Portuguese citizens says the stay is up to 30 days on a single-entry e-Visa/eTA, while other travel guidance says Kenya eTA applications should be submitted online before travel and may require at least 3 business days' processing.

Safety

Mombasa is generally welcoming to visitors, but delegates should use licensed taxis or rideshare apps rather than informal transport, especially after dark. Keep valuables discreet, stay aware in crowded market areas, and carry a copy of your passport rather than the original.
