We build the systems businesses actually run on.

Bytepath designs, builds and operates software for organisations in Ghana and across West Africa — including ESTA, which runs an organisation's security compliance from inside its own infrastructure.

Our product

ESTA

ESTA runs the whole ISO/IEC 27001 management system: the scope, the risk register, the Statement of Applicability across all 93 Annex A controls, and the evidence behind each one. It maps the same evidence to Ghana’s Data Protection Act and Bank of Ghana directives at the same time, so one control answers to more than one obligation.

Deployed inside your own infrastructure, so configuration, log and access-review data never leaves it.

Currently in user acceptance testing.

What we do

Custom management systems

Your operation runs on a process that no product you can buy actually fits, so it runs on spreadsheets and people remembering.

  • Requirements and process mapping
  • Data model and workflow design
  • Role-based access and audit trails

Operational automation

Closing the month takes four days, and three of them are spent moving numbers between systems by hand.

  • Process instrumentation
  • Scheduled and event-driven jobs
  • Integration between systems that don't talk

Security and compliance engineering

You have logs nobody reads, a scan report nobody worked through, and a customer starting to ask for evidence.

  • Management system design and implementation
  • Control and evidence automation
  • Regulatory mapping

Digital presence and operations

The site was delivered, invoiced and never touched again — and nobody is certain who holds the domain.

  • Site design and build
  • Hosting, monitoring and backups
  • Ongoing content and technical maintenance

How we think about this

Measure before building

If we cannot say what the problem costs you, we are guessing about the fix.

The cheapest system is the one you already own

Often the answer is a configuration change, and we will tell you when it is.

A system nobody maintains is a liability

We agree who operates a thing before we agree to build it.

Bytepath is small and recent. If you want to talk to someone who has run the kind of system you are asking about, email hello@bytepaths.io and ask.

Name the process that costs you the most

Tell us which one, and roughly what it costs you in hours or cedis. We'll come back with either three questions or a proposed 30-minute call.
