Deimos & TrueWatch Partner to Tackle Cloud Observability Gaps in Africa’s Multicloud Future

As cloud infrastructure becomes more fragmented and regulated, continuous visibility and governance are fast becoming strategic imperatives for modern IT teams. In response, cloud-native engineering firm Deimos has partnered with TrueWatch, a unified cloud observability platform with security monitoring capabilities, to deliver real-time cloud visibility, configuration and posture insights, and automated detection of deviations across environments - with a sharp focus on Africa’s rapidly evolving cloud ecosystem.

This partnership reflects a major shift underway across the continent: African enterprises are not merely adopting the cloud; they are designing purpose-built, multicloud architectures from day one. Driven by data sovereignty requirements, sector specific compliance mandates, and the rise of industry specific and AI optimised platforms, organisations now require deeper visibility than ever before. But with distributed cloud environments comes a visibility gap that traditional tools simply cannot keep up with.

The Visibility Gap in Cloud First Transformation

Many African organisations are now operating across multiple cloud providers; most commonly GCP, AWS, Azure, and Huawei Cloud. While this approach offers flexibility and cost advantages, it introduces blind spots: misconfigurations, policy drift, and fragmented security postures across platforms.

This is the problem the Deimos–TrueWatch partnership sets out to solve.

“Security and compliance can’t be an afterthought after deployment. These measures need to be visible, enforceable, and adaptive from the outset,” said David Anderson, Co-Founder of Deimos. “Partnering with TrueWatch further strengthens our ability to deliver observability as a core capability within our engineering-led cloud strategies.”

Instead of treating visibility as a separate layer, Deimos is embedding TrueWatch’s capabilities directly into cloud architecture and DevSecOps pipelines. This integrated approach gives organisations continuous insight into security posture, automated governance controls aligned to regulatory frameworks, and proactive detection of vulnerabilities before they escalate.

“TrueWatch enables organisations to go beyond visibility and act on what they see,” said Michael Loong, CEO of TrueWatch. “They can detect risks early, resolve them quickly, and ensure every workload meets the required controls.”

Multicloud Isn’t Optional. Neither Is Observability.

As enterprises adopt industry specific platforms and AI accelerated workloads, multicloud is no longer a strategic experiment - it’s the de facto operating model. But without unified observability, organisations face escalating risks, compliance exposure, and operational inefficiencies.

Deimos has long championed an engineering-first model that helps businesses build smarter, spend better, and scale securely. With TrueWatch integrated into its delivery, African organisations can:

• Gain full visibility across their entire cloud estate, regardless of provider or region
• Prevent costly misconfigurations and eliminate undetected vulnerabilities
• Stay continuously audit ready in regulated industries
• Maintain consistent performance and security as architectures evolve

And as agentic AI and real-time decision-making become embedded in critical systems, the need for secure, observable infrastructure will only grow.

Looking Ahead: A Secure Framework for Africa’s Multicloud Future

The rise of purpose-built clouds, tailored to specific industries, workloads, and compliance requirements, is ushering in a new era of multicloud adoption across Africa. In this next chapter, organisations will depend on specialised partners and tools to ensure visibility, governance, and engineering discipline remain tightly integrated.

The Deimos TrueWatch partnership represents a forward looking blueprint for how African enterprises can navigate that future with confidence. By pairing deep cloud engineering expertise with continuous security observability, the two companies are helping organisations operate securely, efficiently, and compliantly across every cloud platform they use.
