IT and Cybersecurity for Financial Services Firms

Financial services firms in South Africa and Zimbabwe carry strict compliance and data protection obligations. Iteb Co helps firms meet regulatory requirements while keeping client information secure.

Client financial data is a high-value target for cybercriminals, in both South Africa and Zimbabwe.

In South Africa, the FSCA Joint Standard on Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience sets mandatory controls for regulated entities.

In Zimbabwe, financial institutions face growing regulatory expectations around data protection and operational resilience under the Cybersecurity and Data Protection Act (2021).

Non-compliance carries regulatory and reputational risk, while operational continuity is a client-trust issue as much as a technical one.

We support financial firms across both countries with:

  • FSCA Joint Standard compliance gap assessments for South African entities.
  • Vulnerability assessments and penetration testing.
  • Endpoint and email security against phishing and account takeover.
  • Staff awareness training aligned with regulatory requirements in South Africa and Zimbabwe.
  • Backup and business continuity planning.
  • Meeting FSCA cyber resilience deadlines and reporting obligations.
  • Legacy systems that fall short of current compliance standards.
  • Staff falling for phishing and social engineering attempts.
  • Lack of a documented, tested incident response plan.
  • Direct experience with FSCA Joint Standard readiness.
  • Partnerships with Sophos, ESET, Acronis, and Microsoft.
  • A compliance-first approach for regulated entities.
  • Support across both South African and Zimbabwean regulatory environments.
