Tanosec Cybersecurity

Tanosec is a South African offensive security consultancy specializing in penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, OSINT investigations, phishing simulations, and managed security retainers for small and medium-sized businesses.

We take an attacker's-eye view of your systems — because the only way to know if your defenses hold up is to test them properly. Every engagement ends in a clear, prioritized report: what's exposed, how serious it is, and exactly what to fix first. No jargon, no inflated risk scores designed to scare you into a bigger invoice.

Most of our clients are SMEs engaging a security firm for the first time. We built Tanosec around making that first engagement straightforward — transparent pricing, honest scoping calls, and reports written for business owners, not just IT teams. We also support compliance mapping for POPIA and PCI-DSS where it's relevant to the engagement.
