Cyber Security for Businesses
Cyber security for South African businesses: email protection, two-factor authentication, website security, backups, device security and staff phishing training.
Cyber attacks are no longer a big-company problem. Most attacks on South African small and medium businesses are automated: fake invoices, stolen email passwords, hacked websites and ransomware that locks your files. Our cyber security service protects the parts of your business that attackers target first, in plain language and at a price that makes sense for a growing business.
What we protect
- Your email – SPF, DKIM and DMARC records so criminals cannot easily send email pretending to be you, plus spam and phishing filtering
- Your accounts – two-factor authentication on email, banking-related, hosting and website logins, with strong password management
- Your website – firewall, malware scanning, login limits, tested updates and uptime alerts
- Your data – daily off-site backups of your website, email and files, with test restores so you know they work
- Your devices – security settings, updates and protection for staff laptops and phones on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
- Your people – short, practical staff training on spotting phishing, fake invoices and payment-change scams

Cyber security and POPIA
The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) requires businesses to take reasonable security measures to protect the personal information of customers and staff, and to report security compromises. Good cyber security is a practical part of meeting that duty. We help with the technical safeguards; for legal advice on your POPIA obligations, speak to a legal professional.
If you have already been attacked
Act quickly. Change passwords from a clean device, contact your bank if a payment was made, and call our support team on 073 625 5637 or 063 253 5542. For hacked websites, see malware removal and website recovery.

Cyber security FAQs
Is my small business really a target?
Yes. Most attacks are automated and look for any business with weak passwords, missing email records or outdated software, regardless of size.
What is the single most important thing I can do today?
Switch on two-factor authentication for your email and every important login. It stops most password attacks.
Can you guarantee we will never be hacked?
No one honestly can. We reduce the risk significantly, catch problems early and keep tested backups ready so you can recover quickly.
Do you work with businesses outside Johannesburg?
Yes. Most of our security work is done remotely for businesses across South Africa.
How much does it cost?
We start with a security check, then quote a once-off setup and an optional monthly plan based on your number of users, devices and websites.
