Principles that guide everything we ship.

Our technologies are designed around clear commitments — not just to our users, but to the continent's data ecosystem. Every product we build reflects these principles.

QualityCertified

Certified fit for purpose

Every dataset is validated, quality-scored, and certified against international standards. Completeness, accuracy, freshness, and consistency — measured and visible before you commit.

Quality-Scored
GovernanceBy Default

Governance and privacy by default

Access controls, audit trails, lineage, and compliance are built into every product from the first line of code. We adhere to GDPR, Kenya's Data Protection Act, and AU data policy frameworks. Not added later. Not optional.

Privacy-First
LocalSovereign

Data sovereignty and localization

African data should be hosted, governed, and controlled on the continent. Our infrastructure is built to keep data where it belongs — close to the people and institutions it serves.

Africa-First
OpenNo Lock-In

Open standards, no lock-in

We build on open source foundations and open data formats. Your data is yours. You can move it, export it, or query it with any tool — always.

Open Standards

A Nairobi-based data company.

griot Data builds technology products that solve data challenges for organizations operating in and across Africa. We are a product company, not a services company. We ship software. Each product we build addresses a different part of the data value chain — from access and aggregation to infrastructure and operations.

Time-Series DataClear SourcingDonor Reports

Every dataset ships with provenance built in.

Data without context is noise. Every dataset on our platform carries metadata, quality signals, and full lineage — so your team knows exactly what they're building on.

Quality Scored

Every dataset carries a composite quality score — completeness, freshness, consistency, and accuracy. You see the score before you commit. No surprises downstream.

Freshness Monitored

We track source publication schedules and flag stale data automatically. You'll know when numbers are outdated — not discover it when a model breaks.

🔗

Full Lineage

Every data point links to its original source, publication date, transformation history, and methodology. Audit-ready from day one.

Let's talk.

Whether you need structured datasets for analysis or a managed platform to operate on data at scale — we built it for organizations like yours.
