Website Defacement Monitoring in Kenya

Service Description

Website Defacement Monitoring by Black Shepherd Technology is a 24/7 high-fidelity surveillance service designed to protect a candidate’s official website from “hacktivists” and cyber-vandals. In the digital age, a campaign website is a candidate’s virtual headquarters; if an attacker replaces your manifesto with offensive imagery, fake scandal reports, or an opponent’s logo, the reputational damage can be instant and viral. Our system acts as an automated “night watchman,” constantly scanning the site’s visual appearance, source code, and file integrity to detect any unauthorized changes the second they occur.

Instead of relying on a staff member to manually check the site, Black Shepherd uses AI-powered visual and signature-based detection. The system takes a “golden snapshot” of your clean website and compares every live version against it. If a hacker injects a single line of malicious code, changes a headline, or uploads a “hacked by” banner, the system triggers an immediate response. This includes firing off emergency alerts to your IT team via SMS or WhatsApp and, if pre-configured, automatically rolling back the website to a safe, uncorrupted version from our secure cloud backups.

This service is particularly critical during “high-alert” periods such as the nights before a major rally or on Election Day itself. Hacktivists often use defacement as a “Digital Smokescreen”—while the campaign team is distracted by a visible website hack, the attackers may be trying to slip into your backend databases to steal voter or donor data. By maintaining a 24/7 watch, Black Shepherd ensures that your public image remains untarnished and that your website stays a reliable source of truth for your supporters. For an annual investment of KES 350,000, you secure a robust defense line that preserves your credibility and prevents embarrassing viral headlines before they can even start.
