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
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.
Security meant guards, gates and cameras
Risk was mostly physical, and so was the response.
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.
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.
Four layers of protection, one partner
Start with the layer where your risk is highest. Each one works on its own and connects to the others as you grow.
Personal & workforce safety
Panic devices and the Afri-Tec Alert app send location and status to the right people the moment something goes wrong.
Personal safety →Identity & fraud defence
Verify customers at onboarding and catch synthetic and stolen identities before they become losses.
Identity & fraud →Payment & POS security
Know when a terminal is opened, moved or taken offline, and verify the merchants and staff who use it.
POS security →Cyber security
Find the gaps in your systems, protect accounts from takeover and have a response plan ready before you need it.
Cyber security →Built for the organisations that carry the risk
Banks, lenders & insurers
Onboarding checks, synthetic identity detection and fraud case management.

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

We install, integrate with your existing systems and train your team.
Monitor & respond
Alerts reach the right people, incidents are logged and you get regular reporting.
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.
