Cyber security for South African SMEs

Enterprise-grade protection, built for growing businesses.

Practical risk management and virtual CISO expertise that scales with your organisation, without the cost of a full internal security team.

  • Modular services
  • Local expertise
  • International standards

Security that fits your reality

A trusted security partner for small and medium businesses.

Every organisation faces continual cyber threats. For smaller companies, high costs and limited access to specialist skills can make those threats even harder to manage.

Caribou Technologies partners with local and international cyber security providers to offer an affordable, modular and scalable service. We help you understand your exposure, prioritise the right controls and invest where it matters most.

Virtual leadership, real outcomes

CISO as a Service

CISO as a Service gives organisations experienced information security leadership without the overhead of a full-time Chief Information Security Officer or dedicated security department.

01

Understand your risk

Stakeholder interviews, document reviews and technical assessments create a clear view of your security posture.

  • Enterprise risk assessment
  • Vulnerability scanning
  • Configuration reviews
02

Build your roadmap

We translate findings into a practical security strategy, prioritised by risk, business impact and budget.

  • Security strategy and governance
  • Policy and process improvement
  • Compliance guidance
03

Strengthen your defences

Our specialist partner network delivers the protections you need, managed through one trusted point of contact.

  • Security operations and monitoring
  • Cloud and endpoint protection
  • Training and incident readiness

A flexible, pay-as-you-go model. Services are selected according to your risk assessment, so you only pay for the protection your organisation needs.

Security awareness training

Build your human firewall.

Your people are one of the most frequent targets of cyber threats. Our continuous training programme helps every employee recognise risk and respond with confidence.

A closer look at how continuous awareness training helps turn employees into an active layer of defence.

  • Short, ongoing learning Concise modules are delivered throughout the year, making security awareness easier to understand and remember.
  • Simple administration Automated assignments and reminders keep the programme moving, with clear reports for management.
  • Compliance evidence Track participation, test results and individual certificates to support audits and cyber insurance requirements.
  • Practical threat awareness Employees learn to spot suspicious messages, phishing attempts, unsafe links and other common warning signs.

Engagement model

From uncertainty to resilience.

We start with a risk assessment and free vulnerability scan, then turn the findings into focused remedial action.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Identify threats through risk assessment, penetration testing, vulnerability scanning and configuration reviews.

  2. 02

    Respond

    Create a security roadmap, improve governance, remediate cloud risks and prepare your people through training.

  3. 03

    Protect

    Deploy monitoring, endpoint protection, strong authentication, backups and continuous testing.

Workflow and compliance

A clear path to stronger security.

Our work moves through three deliberate stages, keeping technical effort aligned with regulatory responsibilities and business priorities.

Assessment & compliance

POPIA, GDPR, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53 and SSAE 18 SOC 2 readiness.

Testing

Penetration testing, network and cloud scanning, vulnerability reviews and secure code analysis.

Remediation

Secure architecture, threat monitoring, incident response, access control, backups and ransomware protection.

What happens next

Start with a focused assessment.

We send you a questionnaire to establish the scope of your IT environment and business activities. From there, we quote for the risk and threat assessment phase, including a free IT vulnerability scan.

Your report gives you a prioritised view of the actions and services required. As an independent partner, Caribou Technologies stays involved to ensure solutions remain fit for purpose and deliver the strongest protection for your investment.
