Assessment: After prioritization, each vulnerability is assessed to determine its root cause and potential exploitability.
Remediation: Once vulnerabilities have been identified, prioritized, and assessed, the next step is to remediate or mitigate them.
Validation: After remediation actions have been taken, it's important to validate that the vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed.
Monitoring and Reporting: Vulnerability management is an ongoing process, so it's important to continuously monitor the IT environment.

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

MagicOrange provides insights for on premise, hybrid and cloud asset/service utilisation.

These insights assist enterprises to switch off and/or downsize leading to a reduction in cost and carbon footprint.

Should you be in a position to provide data, we can report and provide trends on your carbon footprint.

Covid-19 recovery

The COVID-19 epidemic brought massive change to the world we know.
It required organisations to make quick pivotal decisions in order to survive and remain in business. It is known that 40% - 60% of organisations are struggling to undersdtand expenditures because they are using multiple spreadsheets and tracking tools in order to quickly understand their business and make decisions.

Problem (Tension): The sheer magnitude of IT expenses has made it challenging to get that unified view. And the systems we are using to track expenses are not scalable. In fact, that patchwork of tracking mechanisms is crumpling under its own weight now.

Implication (Pain): Without an aggregated and holistic view, we are constantly faced with fragmented data, time-consuming manual processes, and ever-increasing risk of errors. This hinders the team’s agility and compromises the reliability and accuracy of data driving our financial and operational decision-making.

How we solved for it: We’ve integrated ALL our disparate data-sources for IT expenses into the MagicOrange platform and now have a simple, scalable, multi-dimensional view of all our expenses that delivers answers to financial questions in minutes, not days.

Tackling economic inequality

MagicOrange takes pride in the support and development of small businesses. In line with this commitment, we align ourselves with South Africa's Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment program that promotes financial support to small black owned businesses and suppliers.

Equal opportunity

MagicOrange takes pride in the development of previously disadvantaged groups. In line with this commitment, we align ourselves with South Africa's Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment program. This aims to provide employment and training for disadvantaged groups.
