About
We help organisations define where technology should take them, and then get them there securely.
MITS Institute was established in 2010 in Johannesburg. We provide specialist business and ICT consulting, services and solutions.
Our business consulting covers strategy, planning, analysis, improvement, governance, risk, compliance, performance, change and solution consulting. Our technology advisory work spans strategy, architecture, value, governance, risk, compliance, security, continuity, service, information, application and infrastructure.
Our cyber offerings include IoT, cloud, web, application delivery, data science and cyber security, and our CloudTrack services include SIEMaaS, PTaaS, BUaaS, DRaaS and PERaaS. Our services and methods are based on industry best practice, we partner with technology vendors so clients have access to sustainable solutions, and we offer certified training.

Examples of the work we have delivered. Client names are withheld.
Business services
A business services organisation needed an ICT strategy tied to its business plan, and a way to deliver it.
We defined the ICT strategy and then managed the programme that implemented it.
ICT service provider
A large ICT service provider needed a security operations centre (SOC) to monitor and respond to threats.
We defined the SOC solution and managed the programme that put it into operation.
ICT service providers
Outsourced information security services had to move between two large service providers without gaps in cover.
We managed the transition programme from the outgoing provider to the incoming one.
Large enterprise
A large organisation needed a structured way to meet ICT and privacy compliance obligations.
We defined an ICT compliance framework and architecture, including privacy compliance.
Utilities
A large utility needed an information and cyber security architecture to guide its security investment.
We defined the information and cyber security architecture for the organisation.
Enterprise
The organisation needed confidence that it could keep operating and recover its systems after a disruption.
We defined and implemented business continuity, disaster recovery and backup strategies, plans and solutions.
