The Cost of Doing Nothing
The average cost of a data breach in South Africa reached R49.45 million in 2024 — a figure that doesn't include the reputational damage and customer attrition that follow. Ransomware now strikes a South African organisation every 11 seconds globally.
Yet most organisations still rely on ad-hoc backup processes, untested recovery procedures, and single-site data storage. A backup that's never been tested is not a backup — it's a false sense of security.
Syntric Solutions designs backup and disaster recovery architectures around real business continuity requirements: How much data can you afford to lose? How long can you afford to be offline? These two questions drive every design decision.
60% of SMEs close within 6 months of a major data loss event.
