FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Where do I start?
Start with the free Cyber Insurance Readiness Check. 18 questions, 3 minutes, no signup required. It returns your Business Trust Score and recommends the right plan for your gaps.
Can I switch Protect tiers?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade any time from your dashboard. Changes take effect at the start of your next billing period.
Is Verify included in Protect?
Yes — and that is where it is most powerful. Protect Plus includes 5 checks/month; Pro includes 15/month, plus supplier-change detection and shared fraud reports from the network. You can also buy single checks standalone.
What payment methods do you accept?
M-Pesa, card (Paystack), and bank transfer. Codec8 never stores your card or PIN — all payments are processed by our licensed payment partners.
Can I buy protection without a subscription?
Yes — Protection Passes let you buy 1, 3, or 12 months upfront with no auto-renew. Or go weekly (airtime-style) via M-Pesa and cancel any time.
Are Prove products available now?
Trust Page and Readiness Certificate are available. Compliance Pack and Sector Trust Pack are in development — join the waitlist to be notified.
Trusted by business owners
Real protection for real businesses
No jargon. No fear. Just results.
“I recommend Codec8 to every client now. Before they pay a new supplier, they check the paybill. It takes 30 seconds and it's cheaper than one bounced payment. Three of my clients have caught suspicious paybills in the first month.”
“We needed cyber insurance but our insurer wanted proof we had basic protections. The Codec8 Readiness Certificate showed exactly what we had in place and what to fix. We got the policy approved in two weeks instead of three months.”
