Only 5% of SA orgs are "mature"
Cisco's 2024 Readiness Index puts 95% of SA organisations in the exposed bucket. Defaults you trust today were never enough.
Cybersecurity Assessment · Durban & South Africa
Find the holes before someone else does.
A plain-language audit of your network, devices, accounts, and public footprint. Written report, risk rating, fix-it-first checklist. Inside 48 hours.
The problem
Most SA SMEs already have gaps. They have not been told yet.
Attackers go after the easiest target, not the biggest. Here is why SMEs keep ending up on that list.
SMEs are the target, not collateral
Attackers prefer SMEs precisely because they lack enterprise defences. A single breach runs into hundreds of thousands of rands once you count downtime, data loss, and lost clients.
POPIA is on you whether you know it or not
POPIA expects reasonable security measures. Without a documented assessment, you cannot prove due diligence. Fines hit R10 million.
Our process
Three steps. No drama. No downtime.
Most SME assessments wrap inside 72 hours. You stay in business, we do the digging.
01
Discovery call (30 minutes, free)
We map your business in a single call: team size, systems, what matters most. That shapes the scope so the work is targeted, not generic.
02
The assessment (24 to 48 hours)
We analyse your network, accounts, devices, access controls, and public footprint. Non-intrusive. Your day-to-day keeps running.
03
Report and personal debrief
You get the written report and fix-it-first checklist, then a 30-minute walkthrough. You leave knowing exactly what to do Monday morning.
What you get
A complete picture of your security posture
Not a 200-page consultant's deck. A focused document you can act on, plus a human to walk you through it.
Written security report
Every finding listed with a risk rating, critical down to low, and what it means for your business.
Prioritised action plan
A remediation checklist ordered by urgency. You know what to fix first and what can wait.
Personal debrief call
A 30-minute walkthrough with the analyst who did the work. Ask anything, we answer in plain English.
POPIA readiness notes
Where findings touch personal data, we flag the POPIA angle so you can show due diligence if asked.

Cybersecurity assessment FAQ
01 What does the assessment cover?
Network exposure, account and access configuration, device security, data handling, and what is already public about your business. You get a written report with risk ratings and a fix-it-first checklist.
02 How much does it cost?
Priced for SMEs. The figure depends on team size and scope. An assessment typically costs a fraction of recovering from a single breach. Contact us for a quote.
03 How long does it take?
Scan and analysis run for 24 to 48 hours. Written report and debrief land within 2 to 3 business days of the discovery call.
04 Will it disrupt the business?
No. The work is non-intrusive. We analyse systems and public-facing infrastructure without touching production. Remote assessments need zero on-site time.
