HOW IT WORKS

No lock-in sales process. A working relationship in four steps.

You'll know the scope, the fee and the first month's plan before you sign anything — and you keep the assessment findings whether you proceed or not.

STEP 01 · 60 MINUTESFree assessment

We spend an hour with you — on-site in Johannesburg or remote — looking at how your IT actually runs: devices, backups, security basics, and where you stand against POPIA.

  • No preparation needed from your side
  • We look, we don't touch — read-only, no changes to your systems
  • You receive a written findings summary within two days, yours to keep
STEP 02 · WITHIN 3 DAYSFixed-scope proposal

One page. Which tier fits, what's covered, what's explicitly not, and the fixed monthly fee. If a once-off project makes more sense first, we quote that instead.

  • Fixed monthly fee — no hourly billing surprises
  • Month-to-month after the first three months
  • Anything out of scope is quoted before work starts, always
STEP 03 · FIRST 30 DAYSOnboarding

The first month is about visibility and closing the dangerous gaps. We document what you have, deploy monitoring, and fix the things that can't wait.

  • Full asset and licence register built
  • Monitoring and alerting live across your estate
  • Backups verified with a test restore
  • Critical patches and security basics (MFA, admin accounts) closed first
STEP 04 · EVERY MONTHSteady state

Support runs in the background; the report proves it. Every month you get one page in plain English, and a standing call if you want to talk through it.

  • Uptime, patch status and backup results — verified, not assumed
  • Security events raised and what we did about them
  • Licence and asset changes, plus spend you can cut
  • Recommendations ranked by risk, each with a cost

Common questions

Asked before, answered here.

Are we locked into a contract?

Three months to start — onboarding is front-loaded work — then month-to-month with 30 days' notice. If we're not earning the fee, you shouldn't be paying it.

We already have an IT person. Does this replace them?

Not necessarily. We often work alongside an internal person or incumbent provider — taking the monitoring, security and compliance layer while they handle the hands-on daily work. If you do want a full takeover, we manage the transition.

What size business is this for?

Roughly 5–50 seats. Below that, the free assessment plus a once-off fix is usually more honest than a retainer. Above that, we'll tell you if you need something bigger than us.

How fast do you respond?

Response times are agreed in your proposal by priority — a down server is not a printer query. They're measured, and the numbers appear in your monthly report.

Do you do once-off projects?

Yes — POPIA implementations, Microsoft 365 migrations, automation builds and security clean-ups are all quoted fixed-price after the assessment. No retainer required.

Where do you operate?

On-site across Johannesburg; remote support nationwide. Most steady-state work is remote — that's what keeps the fees small-business-sized.
