Safety & security technology · South Africa

The security layer for a connected South Africa.

Afri-Tec protects people, identities, transactions and systems. We bring physical safety and digital security together under one operator, from the panic button on a wrist to the payment terminal on a counter.

  • ICASA-approved safety devices
  • Built around POPIA
  • Headquartered in Sandton
Why now

The threat has moved online. Security has to follow it.

Payments, onboarding, lending and public services are going digital. Criminals have moved with them, so protecting people now means protecting their identities, their money and the systems they rely on.

Then

Security meant guards, gates and cameras

Risk was mostly physical, and so was the response.

Now

Fraud starts with a fake identity or a phished login

Accounts are opened, loans taken and terminals compromised before anyone notices. Losses show up after the fact.

Afri-Tec

One operator across physical and digital risk

We detect early, alert the right people and respond, whether the threat is at a front door, an onboarding screen or a till.

How we work

From risk review to response

We don't sell boxes and leave. Every engagement follows the same four stages.

  1. Assess

    We review where you are exposed today, across people, identities, transactions and systems.

  2. Design

    We combine devices, software and specialist partners into a solution sized for your risk and budget.

  3. Deploy

    We install, integrate with your existing systems and train your team.

  4. Monitor & respond

    Alerts reach the right people, incidents are logged and you get regular reporting.

For individuals & families

Help is one press away

The Afri-Tec Alert app works with our panic button, Lifeline Watch and Lifeline Pendant. When someone in your circle needs help, you get their alert and location straight away.

  • Free to download
  • Location shared only when you alert or check in
  • Two-way voice on wearables
  • Set up in a few minutes
