Virtual CISO and managed SoC, bought as a service
Two services here are worth knowing about even though neither is telecoms. A virtual CISO gives a business security leadership without a full-time executive salary, which is how most mid-sized South African companies can realistically get one. A managed SoC gives you monitoring and incident response without building a 24-hour security team, which almost nobody can staff properly. Both are increasingly what a client contract or an insurer asks for. The training catalogue is the other half of the business and is unusually broad for a firm this size — ISO, ITIL and cybersecurity certification with a published price list. None of it replaces a phone system: for that, compare the verified providers.
Who Jumping Bean is a fit for
- Businesses needing security leadership or monitoring without hiring a full team
- Development teams wanting DevOps or cloud-native re-engineering help and upskilling
- Organisations certifying staff on ISO 27001, ITIL 4 or cybersecurity standards
