WHAT WE DO
SigOct was founded to help small, medium and micro enterprises understand and pragmatically address the cybersecurity risks they face.
We believe SMMEs are underserved by the current cybersecurity industry, and are most at risk of experiencing a business-ending cyberattack and we want to change that.
Pragmatic solutions for SMMEs
SMMEs face different cybersecurity challenges to large businesses. We focus on understanding our clients’ business, their IT environment, their unique cybersecurity risks as well as their business priorities. This helps us recommend cybersecurity defences that fit your business and tangibly reduce your risk.
IS YOUR BUSINESS SECURE?
SMBs are the backbone of many global economies, but are unfortunately disproportionately affected by cybersecurity incidents. This is typically as a result of having less capacity to hire full-time, specialist, IT and cybersecurity staff to implement the necessary defences, whilst simultaneously having fewer resources at their fingertips to reduce the impact of any cybersecurity incident. This makes it more likely the business will not survive a cybersecurity incident. For those that do survive:
- 75% of SMBs experienced a breach at least once in the company history;
- It took 7.5 months, on average, to recover from the breach;
- Each company spent, on average, R2.6 million to recover from the breach.
