An independent reading of the provider’s public record, operating model and Kenya delivery footprint.

Procurement watchpoint

Confirm Kenya delivery footprint

Current public sources confirm a Kenya-managed workforce but do not disclose its headcount or whether delivery is centred in Nairobi, Mombasa or distributed; confirm the project-specific team location and capacity.

Updated 31 Aug 2026 45

CloudFactory was founded in Nepal in 2010 and now describes itself as an AI company combining technology with a trained workforce across the AI lifecycle. For an outsourcing buyer, the clearest published services are data collection, curation and annotation, followed by human review and model oversight. 12

An official client story confirms delivery through a Kenya-managed workforce, while KenInvest’s March 2026 sector pack lists CloudFactory among the country’s major BPO operators. Neither source gives a current Kenya headcount or city-level delivery footprint. 45

CloudFactory’s certifications page lists ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2. Buyers handling regulated or sensitive data should still request the underlying assurance documents and confirm that their intended delivery model falls within scope. 3
