The IT problems costing
JHB businesses money daily

These are the calls we get every week. If any of these sound like your business, we can fix it — usually faster than you think.

"Load shedding fried our server again"

Power surges on restoration are the #1 cause of server failure in JHB. Most businesses discover their backup was also corrupted — at the worst possible moment.

→ UPS + load-shedding proof backup
📶

"Our WiFi is terrible and kills productivity"

Half the office can't connect, video calls drop every meeting, and the router reboots itself. Business-grade WiFi and structured cabling solves this permanently.

→ Business WiFi & network installation
🔐

"We got a ransomware email — now what?"

Ransomware now targets South African small businesses specifically. Without proper endpoint protection and offsite backups, a single click can shut you down for weeks.

→ Cybersecurity & endpoint protection
🖥

"Our server is slow and nobody knows why"

Old hardware, full disks, unpatched software — servers degrade slowly until they fail. Proactive monitoring catches the warning signs before the crash happens.

→ Server monitoring & maintenance
📋

"Our lawyer says we need to be POPIA compliant"

POPIA has real technical IT requirements — access controls, encrypted storage, audit logs, incident response. Most businesses don't know where to start.

→ POPIA IT compliance implementation
💸

"IT issues are costing us hours every week"

Hiring a full-time IT person costs R25,000–R50,000/month in salary. Managed IT support gives you the same capability for R1,500–R5,000/month with better coverage.

→ Managed IT retainer from R1,500/mo

Load shedding is
destroying JHB
business data

Power surges on restoration are the leading cause of server failure in Johannesburg. Most businesses discover their backup was also affected — on the day they need it most.

01

UPS sizing and installation

Correctly sized UPS with surge protection keeps your server running through outages and absorbs the surge on restoration.

02

Cloud backup independent of local power

Your backups run to an offsite cloud location that operates even when your office is dark. Data survives stage 6.

03

Daily backup verification

We check your backup completed successfully every day — not just assumed it did. Most backup failures go unnoticed until disaster strikes.

Why Cybergenix

We're not a call centre.
We're your IT team.

01

Johannesburg-based engineers, always

Your call doesn't go to a script-reader in another city. Our engineers are in JHB, know the suburbs, and can be on-site in Sandton or Midrand same day.

02

Fixed monthly pricing — no surprises

Flat monthly retainers mean you know exactly what IT costs. No emergency call-out fees for managed clients, no surprise invoices at month end.

03

Built for South African conditions

Load shedding, Eskom surges, local ISPs, POPIA requirements — we design every solution around SA realities, not overseas IT textbooks.

04

No lock-in — cancel with 30 days notice

Month-to-month contracts. We keep clients because the service is good, not because the contract traps them. First month includes a free IT assessment.

What Johannesburg businesses say

★★★★★ Rated 5.0 on Google
★★★★★

"Server was down on a Friday afternoon. Called Cybergenix at 4pm, they were remote and had us back up by 5:30. No drama, no drama charge either. That's the kind of support small businesses actually need."

Marco S.
Operations Manager · Sandton logistics firm
★★★★★

"Finally someone who knows what POPIA actually requires technically, not just the legal side. They set up proper access controls and gave us documentation we can actually show an auditor. Law firm owners — this is who you want."

Director · Midrand legal practice

"Moved offices in Fourways. They handled the entire IT relocation — disconnected, transported, reconnected, tested. We were fully operational by 8am Monday. I was expecting a week of chaos. Highly recommend."

Owner · Fourways accounting firm

"Set up our whole network in the new Sandton office. Clean cabling, proper WiFi coverage, guest network separate from staff. Everything labelled and documented. No dead spots, no issues since day one."

MD · Sandton marketing agency

"Ransomware hit us on a Wednesday morning. Within 20 minutes of calling Cybergenix they had isolated the affected machine. We restored from cloud backup the same day. Without the backup they'd set up, we'd have paid the ransom or lost everything."

"We're a medical practice. Patient data security is not optional. Cybergenix set up proper POPIA controls, encrypted our patient file storage and gave us a written incident response plan. First IT company that actually understood what medical practices need."

Who is Cybergenix for?

Cybergenix is for Johannesburg small businesses with 5–100 staff who need reliable IT support without hiring a full-time IT person. We handle everything from server setup to cybersecurity, with fixed monthly pricing from R1,500/month.

Managed IT support for a Johannesburg small business typically costs R1,500–R6,000 per month depending on the number of users and servers. This covers 24/7 monitoring, monthly maintenance and helpdesk support. Compare that to a full-time IT person at R25,000–R50,000/month in salary — and our retainer includes more coverage than a single employee can provide.
Yes — power surges when electricity is restored are the leading cause of server failure in Johannesburg. Hard drives, network equipment and power supplies are all at risk. Every server needs a properly sized UPS with surge protection. We also set up cloud backups that are completely independent of local power, so your data is safe even when hardware is damaged.
A Johannesburg small business needs: (1) a configured server or cloud storage for shared files, (2) a business-grade network with reliable WiFi, (3) endpoint security on all devices, (4) daily offsite backups, (5) a UPS for load shedding protection, and (6) POPIA-compliant data handling. We assess your current setup for free and tell you exactly what gaps exist.
POPIA requires businesses to implement: access controls on all systems holding personal data, data encryption at rest and in transit, audit logs showing who accessed data and when, regular security assessments, and a documented incident response plan. We implement all of these technical controls and provide the documentation you need if the Information Regulator ever asks. Free gap assessment available.
For managed clients we begin remote triage immediately and aim for on-site response within 4 hours in Sandton, Midrand and Fourways. Many issues are resolved remotely within the hour. For non-clients we offer emergency call-outs — WhatsApp us now and we'll respond within 15 minutes during business hours, and within the hour after hours.
No. All our managed retainers are month-to-month with 30 days notice to cancel. We don't believe in trapping clients — we'd rather earn your business every month by delivering a service you actually value. Once-off projects like server setup and network installation have no ongoing commitment unless you choose to add monitoring.
