Protection against ransomware, phishing and data loss. Automated backups so a stolen laptop never means a lost business. Managed security plans are priced per user.
Professional email, shared calendars and file storage set up properly and kept running, so your team can just work.
Reliable internet, secure Wi-Fi and routers configured to handle a busy office — no more dead zones or mystery dropouts.
New-staff onboarding, laptop setup, software installs and sourcing the right kit at the right price.
Practical advice on what to upgrade, what to leave alone, and how to spend your IT budget where it actually matters.
No drawn-out sales process. We find the gaps, fix what's urgent, and keep it running.
We look at your setup — security, backups, email, network — and give you a clear written summary of what's working and what's at risk.
We sort the urgent gaps first, then put proper backups, security and monitoring in place so problems get caught before they hurt.

Pick a plan that fits where your business is today. Move up a tier as you grow — never locked in. Every plan includes the security baseline; add a per-user security plan when your insurer, your regulator or your biggest client starts asking.
Add-ons when you need them: new-staff onboarding from R500 each · router / network setup from R1,200 All prices in South African Rand and are the full amount payable — Stellenbyte Solutions is not a VAT vendor, so no VAT is added. Retainers run month to month with 30 days' notice to cancel and no lock-in. Full detail in our Terms of Service.
Insurers, medical schemes and large customers have started sending small businesses security questionnaires. We make the answers true — and give you the document that proves it.
A proper look at your Microsoft 365 tenant and at your office — accounts, mailbox rules, admin rights, backups, firewall, remote access, and the people using all of it. You get a written report that names every finding in plain English, says what it would cost your business if someone used it against you, which POPIA duty or insurance control it fails, and a fixed price to fix it.
Cyber cover is underwritten against a short list of controls. Score well and you get competitive quotes; score badly and you get exclusions, a bigger excess, or an argument at claim stage. These are the ten we work through with you — and the honest answer to each one is what the Cyber Health Check gives you.
These sit on top of your support plan. Priced per person, so what you pay tracks the size of your team instead of being a number nobody can explain.

MFA on every account, conditional access, legacy sign-in blocked, admin accounts separated, a proper leaver process, mailbox forwarding audited, patching enforced and backups verified. It runs on the Microsoft licences you already pay for, so there is nothing extra to buy. The plans above are what you add when someone outside your business starts asking for evidence.
Security plans are priced per user per month and sit alongside a support plan — minimum 5 users, or 10 on Protect+ Comply. Prices exclude Microsoft 365 licences, which are billed by Microsoft or quoted separately. Security plans require an active Stellenbyte support plan and a signed service agreement. As with our retainers, no VAT is added and the plan runs month to month with 30 days' notice. Because the underlying tools are priced in US dollars, we review these prices once in any 12-month period on 30 days' written notice — full detail in our Terms of Service.
Book a free, no-obligation 20-minute IT health check. You'll get a clear written summary of what's working, what's at risk, and what to fix first — whether or not you sign up.
Book my free check →A relaxed 20-minute look at your current setup — security, backups, email, network and devices. You walk away with a short written summary of what's solid and what's at risk, whether or not you sign up.
No. Plans are month-to-month. The idea is to earn your business every month, not lock you in.
That's fine — many clients start with a second opinion. The free check will tell you honestly whether your current setup is in good shape.
Yes. Windows, Mac, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, common business apps, printers, networks and the day-to-day tools small teams rely on.
Cape Town — based in Kuils River, working across the city, the Northern Suburbs and the Winelands. Most support is handled remotely for speed, with on-site visits available on the Business plan or by arrangement.
All sorts. Professional practices, trades and contractors, shops and restaurants, medical rooms, schools, non-profits, agencies, small manufacturers — if your business runs on computers and you don't have someone in-house looking after them, you're the right fit. Most of our clients have between 3 and 60 people. The work is the same; only the details change.
It's a full assessment: a read-only scan of your Microsoft 365 tenant plus an on-site look at your backups, network, firewall and remote access. You get a written report where every finding is explained in plain English, tied to the POPIA duty or insurance control it fails, and given a fixed price to fix. It takes a day of work and a week of write-up, and it's yours whether or not you take a plan afterwards. If you do take a security plan within 30 days, the full R6,500 comes off your first three months.
Microsoft 365 gives you the tools; it doesn't switch them on, tune them, or watch them. Most of the businesses we assess are paying for protection they've never had configured. The security baseline that's included in every support plan turns on what you already own. The paid plans add the things Microsoft doesn't include at all — round-the-clock detection and response, awareness training, dark-web monitoring, and a proper backup of your Microsoft data, which Microsoft does not keep for you.
Yes, and this is where we'd start. Send it over and we'll go through it with you at no charge. You'll get an honest answer to every question, and a clear picture of what's missing. Some clients fix the gaps themselves from that list — that's a perfectly good outcome.
A specialist security operations centre, working under our account, monitors the alerts around the clock on the Protect+ plans and escalates anything real to us. You get enterprise-grade monitoring at small-business prices, and you still have one person who knows your setup and answers the phone. We're upfront about which parts are ours and which are our partners'.
