We build sovereign cybersecurity and AI platforms for West African institutions.

Senintel is in production with first government tenants, and BugSecure Africa is live alongside it — sovereign digital intelligence and adjudicated bug bounty on one multi-tenant OAuth 2.1 stack, deployed in Senegal, 100% infrastructure-as-code. Kulinda Research compounds on the same foundation.

Factory

One factory. Multiple verticals.

KLDS is a factory that ships sovereign verticals. Senintel and BugSecure Africa are live. Kulinda Research is next.

Shared foundation

The same TypeScript / OAuth 2.1 / multi-tenant stack that ships Senintel also ships BugSecure Africa and Kulinda Research. Auth, billing, observability, audit trails, and tenant isolation are written once.

Vertical, not horizontal

Each vertical wraps the foundation in a domain-specific surface — CVSS reward grids and mobile-money payouts for one, GenAI extraction templates for another. Generic SaaS does neither well.

Compounding, not parallel

The third vertical doesn't start from zero. It starts at the line where the platform ends and a new domain begins. That is the leverage. That is the bet.

Three verticals. One foundation.

Senintel is operational. BugSecure Africa is live. Kulinda Research is in design.

Senintel

Operational

Sovereign digital intelligence for African institutions.

Five pillars — OSINT across 300+ social platforms, breach detection over 12 billion records (Dehashed), containerized Kali Linux terminal (27+ tools), AI investigation agent (Claude), encrypted collaboration chat. Multi-tenant with JWT RS256 and immutable audit. Dedicated SaaS or on-premise deployment in Senegal.

For CISOs, SOC teams and investigation units at banks, telcos and government agencies in West Africa.

In production. First government tenants active.

BugSecure Africa

Operational

Adjudicated bug bounty for African enterprises.

The bug bounty platform for Francophone Africa, and the only one where severity itself can be appealed. FCFA throughout, French first.

For CISOs of banks, telcos, fintechs and public agencies in West Africa.

Live. Public programmes are open, and the first one is our own.

Kulinda Research

Pitch

Vertical AI for research institutions. Documents → actionable intelligence.

Four pillars — extraction, generation, editor, semantic search. Three adaptive extraction engines (text, complex tables, vision AI) at 95%+ precision. Template-driven document generation cuts authoring time by 60%. Multi-model (GPT-4, Claude). GDPR, audit trail, PII detection, RBAC × 5, sovereign deployment.

For research institutes, public-health agencies, and international funders operating across Africa — anchored on scientific publications, epidemic surveillance, and regulated documentation.

First pitch in flight. Pricing tiers defined: Pilot 15 K€/mo · Institut 35 K€/mo · Enterprise 60 K€/mo.
BugSecure Africa

The detail lives on BugSecure.

Two things set BugSecure apart, and both are documented in full on its own site.

Severity decides the money. So we made severity appealable.

A researcher argues severity, an assessor who is not the paying company sets it, and either side can appeal to a second assessor whose decision binds. The amount then follows the organisation's own published reward grid, on a signed certificate anyone can verify.

How it works, in full

We never hold the money.

The company pays the researcher directly, against our certificate. Nothing passes through us, which is why operating this way needs no BCEAO agrément. Licensed custody is planned, subject to authorisation, and none of it exists today.
