Why We Exist
Small and medium businesses are disproportionately targeted by cyber attacks, yet most lack dedicated security resources. The average data breach costs South African businesses millions in recovery, fines, and reputational damage.
AKWEBSEC was built to bridge that gap. We combine industry-standard scanning tools with smart automation to deliver continuous security monitoring at a price that makes sense for local businesses.
We're South African based, operate in South African time, and understand the local threat landscape. No offshore call centers. No confusing jargon. Just clear, actionable security intelligence.
What You Get
Every security plan includes these core capabilities, designed specifically for South African business needs.
Fast Detection
Known vulnerabilities identified within hours of public disclosure. Our pipeline updates daily with the latest threat intelligence.
POPIA-Aligned
Data handling practices aligned with South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act. We help you understand your compliance posture.
Plain English Reports
Reports written for humans, not just technical teams. Every finding includes context, risk explanation, and actionable remediation steps.
OWASP Aligned
Testing mapped to the industry-standard OWASP Top 10 framework. We speak the same language as enterprise security teams and auditors.

About AKWEBSEC
Built by a South African engineer who believes every local business deserves enterprise-grade security without the enterprise price tag.
"Every South African business deserves to know if they're vulnerable — before the bad guys do. We make that possible with transparent pricing, continuous monitoring, and zero corporate BS."
AKWEBSEC was founded to solve a simple problem: South African SMEs need security, but can't afford R50,000+ annual retainers or offshore consultants who don't understand local regulations like POPIA.
We combine automated vulnerability scanning with manual penetration testing to give you coverage that rivals enterprise solutions — at a fraction of the cost. And because we're local, we understand the unique challenges facing South African businesses, from load shedding resilience to POPIA compliance.
