The challenge

A large citrus operation in Limpopo was losing significant water through undetected pipe breaks and inefficient irrigation scheduling. Their existing infrastructure had no real-time monitoring capability, and the farm manager was making decisions based on weekly manual readings. Load-shedding was causing pumps to run dry and destroying motors.

Our solution

Gito deployed a LoRaWAN-based smart metering network across the farm with 47 flow sensors feeding into a centralised IoT dashboard. We integrated automated pump control with load-shedding schedules via the Eskom API and configured threshold alerts via SMS and WhatsApp. A backup communications path via LTE ensured data continuity during power outages.

The challenge

A mid-sized logistics company operating out of three Gauteng depots had grown rapidly but their IT infrastructure had not kept pace. They were running a flat network with no segmentation, using consumer-grade routers, and had suffered two ransomware incidents in 18 months. Remote access for their dispatch team was done via an unsecured RDP connection exposed to the internet.

Our solution

Gito conducted a full network audit and rebuilt the infrastructure from the ground up. We deployed Fortinet FortiGate firewalls at each site, implemented VLAN segmentation separating OT, user, and CCTV traffic, and replaced the RDP exposure with FortiClient VPN with MFA. Endpoint protection was rolled out across 280 machines. We also configured centralised logging and a 24/7 monitoring alerting policy.

The challenge

A Pretoria-based accounting firm with 65 staff was running on an ageing on-premise server that was approaching end-of-life. Staff were increasingly working remotely but access to financial systems was slow and unreliable. The firm faced a looming POPIA compliance deadline and had no formal data backup or DR policy.

Our solution

Gito scoped and executed a phased migration to Microsoft Azure, moving file storage, email, and the firm's practice management system to cloud infrastructure. We implemented Microsoft 365 with Intune device management, Azure AD with conditional access policies, and automated nightly backups with geo-redundant storage. A POPIA compliance framework was implemented covering data classification, access controls, and an incident response procedure.
