We Break In. So Nobody Else Can.
The average breach costs a South African business R53 million. 60% of SMEs that suffer a major breach close within six months. We attack your systems the way real hackers would and find the gaps before someone exploits them. The cheapest breach is the one that never happens.
What We Do
Security Assessment
Full network scan, configuration testing, and policy review. You get a ranked vulnerability list with business impact ratings, specific fixes, and clear priorities.
Penetration Testing
We attack your systems the way real threat actors do. Network, web app, API, social engineering, wireless. We chain vulnerabilities, escalate privileges, and show you exactly how an attacker would move through your environment.
Incident Response
Ransomware, data breach, compromised credentials. We contain the damage first, then investigate. How they got in, what they accessed, what you need to report. Answers, not theories.
Security Awareness Training
93% of breaches start with a phishing email. We run realistic phishing simulations, teach your team to spot social engineering, and make it stick with ongoing practical sessions.
Managed Security (SOC)
24/7 security monitoring without hiring a full team. Wazuh SIEM/XDR, detection rules, alert monitoring, and real-time response. A full SOC at a fraction of the cost of building one.
Compliance Security
POPIA, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, NIST. We implement the technical security controls auditors want to see working: firewall configs, access controls, encryption, logging, and vulnerability management.
What We Protect You Against
These aren't hypothetical threats. They're what we see in the wild, every week, targeting South African businesses.
Phishing & Social Engineering
One click costs an average of R1.4 million in recovery. We test if your team falls for it and train them not to.
Ransomware
Average SA ransom: R2.1 million, plus 21 days downtime. We test your defences and backup recovery before it happens for real.
Supply Chain Attacks
A single compromised vendor can expose every client they serve. Your security is only as strong as your weakest supplier.
Insider Threats
Insider incidents take 85 days on average to contain. We audit access controls and monitor for unusual internal behaviour.
Web Application Attacks
SQL injection, XSS, auth bypass, API abuse. POPIA fines up to R10 million for a data leak. We find the holes first.
Network Intrusion
Average time to detect a network breach in SA: 194 days. We simulate a full attack chain from initial access to domain compromise.
What We Find In Real Assessments
Sanitised examples from real engagements. Names and details changed, but the vulnerabilities are real and we find variants of these in almost every assessment.
Started with a phishing email to a junior employee. Harvested credentials via a cloned login page. Used those credentials to access an internal file share with plaintext service account passwords. One of those accounts had domain admin rights. Full control of the entire Active Directory in under 3 hours.
MongoDB instance running on a cloud server with default credentials and no firewall. Contained 45,000 customer records including email addresses, phone numbers, and hashed passwords. Had been exposed for 8 months. Nobody knew.
Client had a backup system running every night. Green lights on the dashboard. But nobody had tested a restore in 2 years. When we tested it, the backups were corrupted. If ransomware had hit, they would have lost everything while believing they were protected.
Remote access VPN accepting username and password only. No multi-factor authentication. Credential stuffing attack would have given an attacker full network access. 340 employees using it daily. Fixed in one afternoon.
The Arsenal
How We Test
Same structured process every engagement. Rules of engagement signed before we touch anything.
Scope
Define what gets tested. Sign rules of engagement. Agree on targets, timelines, and boundaries. No surprises on either side.
Discover
Map your attack surface. Automated scanning combined with manual reconnaissance. We find what the scanners miss because we think like attackers, not auditors.
Test
Controlled exploitation. Same techniques real threat actors use, under controlled conditions. We chain vulnerabilities, escalate privileges, and prove business impact. We prove business impact, not theoretical risk.
Report
Findings ranked by real business impact. Each finding includes: what we found, how we exploited it, what an attacker could do with it, and exactly how to fix it. Screenshots and evidence included.
Fix
We don't just hand over a report and walk away. Implementation support included. We help your team remediate, verify the fixes work, and retest to confirm. Findings get resolved.
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Security testing is an investment. Here's what it looks like next to the alternative.
Without Testing
With Regular Testing
South African businesses lost over R2.2 billion to cybercrime in 2023. A pentest costs less than a single incident response callout.
Security Doesn't Exist in Isolation
Security works best when it's built into everything.
