To investigate how legal frameworks affect the risk preparation tactics used by the massive telecom company, this research employs the Safaricom Head Office in Nairobi, Kenya, as a case study. The study adopts a descriptive methodology to thoroughly explore and describe the current cybersecurity legal landscape, including its conceptualization and subsequent impact on risk management within the company. This study is significant because of the rising reliance on digital technologies and the frequency and sophistication of cyber threats. Because the telecommunications sector is an essential backbone for many sectors, knowing the legal frameworks governing cybersecurity is critical to guaranteeing the reliability and security of communication networks. This includes determining how well Safaricom's cybersecurity policies correspond with regulatory requirements, identifying any gaps, and investigating compliance concerns. The study aims to gain a thorough understanding of the relationship between legal frameworks and risk management strategies, ultimately contributing to the improvement of cybersecurity practices in the telecommunications industry.
