Cybersecurity and application security for South African organisations
Security starts in the code and the configuration. We design and review applications, APIs and infrastructure for the threats they actually face, harden what runs in production and help you respond when something goes wrong.

Capabilities
What we deliver
Secure engineering
Threat modelling, secure coding, dependency management and security tests in the pipeline, as part of the definition of done.
Application and API reviews
Reviews of web applications and APIs for common weaknesses such as broken access control, injection and exposed secrets.
Infrastructure hardening
Least-privilege services, firewalls that actually apply to containers, closed ports, current patches and secure defaults.
Vulnerability management
Tracking of framework and library advisories, with upgrades planned before they become emergencies.
Incident response support
Containment, investigation, clean rebuilds and a written report, then the fixes that stop it happening again.
Data protection controls
Access control, audit trails, encryption and retention settings that support your POPIA security safeguards.
Approach
Security that survives real operations
We treat security as engineering: the same controls are designed, tested, documented and maintained like any other feature. Findings come with clear fixes and priorities, and we explain risks in language a board or an audit committee can act on.
- Least privilege by default
- Patching cadence agreed
- Audit trails
- Supports POPIA section 19 safeguards

FAQ
Common questions
A structured review of a web application or API for weaknesses that attackers exploit, such as broken access control, injection flaws, insecure configuration and exposed secrets, followed by prioritised fixes.
Keep frameworks and dependencies patched, run services with least privilege, monitor for unusual activity, test backups and review access regularly. Most serious incidents start with an outdated component or an exposed service.
Yes. Section 19 requires appropriate, reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, and section 22 requires notification of security compromises.
