We started with a panic button. Now we protect the whole chain.
Afri-Tec is a South African safety and security technology company headquartered in Illovo, Sandton, and part of the EPF Ecosystem.
Fast detection, fast response
Afri-Tec began in personal safety. Our Afri-Tec Alert app and ICASA-approved panic devices help people raise an alert and share their location the moment something goes wrong.
The principle behind that product is simple: the sooner the right people know, the less damage is done. That principle applies just as much to a fake identity at onboarding, a tampered payment terminal or a compromised login.
As South Africa's economy moves onto digital channels, we are applying it across four layers: people, identities, transactions and systems.
Security solutions by sector. We scope, combine, deploy and support. You deal with one partner.
Identity, analytics and workflow. Verification, case management and reporting platforms from the EPF portfolio.
IoT hardware. Panic devices, wearables, trackers and tamper sensors.
Specialists where it counts. Cyber security firms, data providers and registered response companies.
We don't build every component ourselves. We combine proven technology into solutions that fit a specific sector, which means faster deployment and less risk for you.
Our principles
Say what we can deliver
We tell you what is available now and what we deliver through partners. No inflated claims.
Privacy by default
Location and personal data are shared only when a service needs them, in line with POPIA.
Built for here
Designed for South African networks, regulation and the realities of crime and fraud in our market.
Safety is bigger than technology
We work alongside organisations focused on gender-based violence prevention and personal safety awareness. Protection technology does the most good when it connects to people who can help: family, community structures, support services and responders.
Afri-Tec is part of the EPF Ecosystem, a Pan-African innovation, venture and social impact organisation based at 35 Ferguson Road, Illovo.
