Watoko protects the data of farmers in remote highlands, cooperatives across the African continent, research universities, biotech partners, and sovereign programs. Encryption, jurisdictional sovereignty, biological sample chain-of-custody, and the discipline of operating in complexity where others cannot — on Earth and beyond.
Security at Watoko is not a checklist. It is a posture — the same posture that allows us to operate in environments that break everything else.
Every farmer who joins the network owns the data their land produces. We hold it in trust. They can withdraw it. We never sell individual-level data.
Sovereign customers — ministries of agriculture, space agencies, central banks — can require in-country residency, dedicated tenancy, and audit rights. We meet them where they are.
Biological samples and biomolecular data move under chain-of-custody discipline derived from clinical trials and aerospace material handling. We do not cut corners on the science of life.
Every agent decision — from a satellite alert to a payment instruction — is logged, signed, and replayable. Customers can inspect the chain at any moment.
We design for the worst environment, not the best demo. Offline operation, degraded network conditions, mesh resilience, encryption at rest and in transit — in the field, on satellites, in sealed habitats.
A production-grade security architecture across data, identity, infrastructure, and application layers.
Most security architectures assume the cloud, the office, and a stable network. Watoko assumes none of them. The platform was designed from day one for the highlands, the harbor, the research lab, and the closed-loop habitat — environments where the cost of failure is measured in harvests, in samples, and in human lives.
Watoko's security and privacy program is built to meet the obligations of every counterpart we serve — from a smallholder cooperative to a research university to a sovereign program.
Continuous audit of security, availability, and confidentiality controls. Report available under NDA to enterprise and institutional customers.
Information security management system aligned to ISO 27001 controls, with formal certification on the 2026 roadmap.
Full compliance with GDPR, the African Union Convention on Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection, and country-level data protection acts across our operating jurisdictions.
Cryptographically verifiable lot passports, satellite-grounded deforestation evidence, and audit-ready due diligence statements for the EU Deforestation Regulation.
Chain-of-custody, consent, and biomolecular data handling aligned to GCP, the Nagoya Protocol, and institutional review board requirements of partner universities.
For closed-loop life-support and astrobiology partnerships, Watoko applies the documentation, traceability, and configuration management practices required of payload-class systems.
Watoko welcomes responsible disclosure from security researchers. We commit to a 24-hour acknowledgment, a clear remediation timeline, and public credit when requested.
Watoko maintains a researcher hall of fame and provides public recognition for valid findings. Cash bounties are offered case-by-case for high-severity issues affecting production systems.
Enterprise customers, sovereign programs, and research partners can request a security review, our SOC 2 report, or a custom data residency arrangement. Write to security@watoko.ai or talk to us directly.
