BEE Level 1 Services Provider
Government departments that prioritise broad-based economic empowerment in their IT procurement benefit most from engaging BEE Level 1 suppliers. In our experience working with departments such as the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA), the Department of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, and National Treasury, BEE scoring carries significant weight in tender evaluations — often 20 to 30 points out of 100.
Departments with large Apple estates, including the Presidency, GCIS, and certain units within the South African Secret Service, require IT partners who combine technical Apple expertise with full BEE compliance. This is precisely where ZA Support excels. We are not a generalist IT company that happens to support Apple — we are Apple specialists first, with 16 years of focused expertise in Mac and iOS ecosystems.
Our BEE Level 1 status means government procurement officers receive the maximum available preferential points when selecting ZA Support. We are fully CSD registered and meet every compliance requirement for government IT procurement under the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act. Contact us for our CSD supplier details and BEE certificate.

Specialised Government IT Services
Every service we deliver to government clients is built on the understanding that public sector IT operates under unique constraints: strict procurement rules, heightened security requirements, POPIA obligations, and public accountability. Our rate is R899 per hour, with assessments starting from R599.
Secure Apple Fleet Management
Zero-touch deployment, automated policy enforcement, and compliance monitoring across government Apple estates. We have managed fleets from 10 devices in municipal offices to 500+ across national departments.

FileVault enforcement, remote wipe, application whitelisting, and full audit trails. Our security protocols meet the requirements of intelligence and defence environments where classified data handling is mandatory.

End-to-end technical controls for Protection of Personal Information Act compliance. Encryption, access control, data retention automation, breach notification workflows, and consent management tailored to government operations.

From procurement advisory through deployment, maintenance, and secure decommissioning. We ensure government assets are tracked, maintained, and disposed of in compliance with PFMA and National Treasury asset management guidelines.
Apple MDM for Government Offices
Industry-standard Mobile Device Management configured for government security requirements. Remote configuration, application distribution, security policy enforcement, and real-time compliance dashboards for IT managers.
Staff Training and Awareness
Hands-on training programmes for government employees transitioning to Apple platforms. Includes cybersecurity awareness, POPIA data handling protocols, and productivity workflows aligned with government standard operating procedures.
Security
Government-Grade Security Requirements
Working with the South African Secret Service and the Presidency has shaped our approach to data security. We understand that government IT environments often handle classified, restricted, or personally identifiable information that demands controls far beyond standard commercial practice.
In our Hyde Park workshop at 1 Hyde Lane, Second Floor, Office E2004, Johannesburg 2196, we maintain secure handling procedures for government hardware. Devices containing sensitive data are processed in isolated environments with full chain-of-custody documentation. For departments requiring on-premises servicing, we deploy our technicians on-site with appropriate security clearance documentation.
The most common mistake we see in government Apple deployments is treating Mac devices like consumer products rather than enterprise endpoints. Without proper MDM configuration, FileVault enforcement, and application whitelisting, government Macs become security liabilities. Our managed service eliminates these gaps from day one.
Full-Disk Encryption
FileVault enforced on every device via MDM policy. Non-compliant devices are automatically quarantined.
Remote Wipe Capability
Instant remote erase for lost or stolen government devices. Activation lock prevents unauthorised reuse.
Audit Trail Logging
Every device interaction logged with timestamps, technician ID, and action taken. Exportable for AGSA audits.
Application Whitelisting
Only approved applications permitted on government devices. Sideloading and unauthorised installs blocked at MDM level.
Secure Decommissioning
NIST 800-88 compliant data sanitisation before hardware disposal. Certificate of destruction provided for asset registers.
Government Compliance
ZA Support is a BEE Level 1 contributor, fully CSD registered, and compliant with all National Treasury procurement requirements. For our CSD supplier numbers, BEE certificate, and company registration details, please contact us directly.
