the decisions.
Start with a PCE Security Readiness Assessment, validate selected telemetry through a focused proof of concept, then agree the ongoing service.
Discuss your Core scope ↗Detect, triage and investigate
Review suspicious authentication, privileged changes, flagged destinations and unusual activity. Correlate signals, validate findings and tune noisy detections.
Coordinate a considered response
Document incidents, escalate to the right people and provide containment recommendations. Response actions follow agreed authority.
Report what matters to management
A monthly executive report and review: findings, trends, priority actions and relevant supporting evidence, including POPIA-related requirements where applicable.
Example service scope. Sources, coverage hours, retention, investigation support and reporting are confirmed for each engagement. Additional automation and specialist capabilities are scoped separately.

CYBERSECURITY FAQs
Clear answers.
For your business.
Understand managed security, threat monitoring and the evidence behind a considered response.
Ask us about your environment ↗What are managed cybersecurity services?
Managed cybersecurity services provide agreed security monitoring, investigation and response support for your business. PCE Cyber connects signals from the systems in scope, assesses suspicious activity and coordinates findings with your IT team. Coverage, service hours and responsibilities are defined before the service begins.
Do we need cybersecurity monitoring if we already have an IT provider?
An IT provider may already deliver security services. The useful question is who connects alerts across systems, investigates suspicious activity and coordinates the response. PCE works alongside your provider to address agreed gaps, with clear ownership and escalation routes.
What is the difference between antivirus and security monitoring?
Antivirus focuses on detecting and preventing malicious activity on supported devices. Security monitoring brings together activity from connected systems so related events can be investigated in context. They serve complementary purposes; the right combination depends on your environment.
What is SIEM monitoring?
Security information and event management (SIEM) brings security logs from different systems together for analysis. It helps investigators connect events such as failed sign-ins, access changes and suspicious device activity. Useful oversight also needs configured detections, human review and an agreed response process.
What is PCE Intelligence?
PCE Intelligence connects security monitoring, AI-assisted investigation and accountable human judgement around your business. Calibrate, Craft and Verify guide how we understand exposure, shape detection and assess evidence. AI assists. People assess.
What happens when PCE identifies suspicious activity?
We assess the available evidence, explain its business significance and coordinate the next steps with your designated team. Agreed escalation contacts and response responsibilities guide the process. Findings help the people responsible decide what action to take.
How does security monitoring support ISO/IEC 27001 and audit preparation?
Relevant access records, security events and investigation reports can help demonstrate how selected controls operate. PCE Compliance Intelligence supports evidence gathering and agreed reporting around connected systems. Your wider compliance programme, certification and independent audit remain separate responsibilities.
Does PCE Cyber serve businesses outside South Africa?
Yes. PCE Cyber is based in South Africa and is geared towards organisations across markets. Integration needs, service hours, data handling and delivery arrangements are confirmed during scoping.
What affects the cost of managed cybersecurity services?
Scope drives cost: the systems connected, data volumes, retention needs, monitoring arrangements, investigation support and reporting requirements. A consultation helps establish what your business needs so the proposal can explain the coverage and responsibilities clearly.
How do we get started with PCE Cyber?
Email info@pcecyber.com to arrange a cybersecurity consultation. We start with Discovery, connect the agreed sources, validate collection and escalation, and move into Go-Live once the scope and responsibilities are clear.
