Scope: Information Regulator South Africa, Annual Report for 2023/24 Financial Year and Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025. The 590, 1,727, and 2,374 values are security compromise notifications received by the Information Regulator for the stated financial years and must not be presented as confirmed compromises, confirmed breaches, successful attacks, unique affected organisations, unique affected data subjects, criminal case counts, or all cyber incidents in South Africa. These metrics are reported under the Information Regulator's POPIA mandate and must not be presented as general cybersecurity incidents, a national cyber incident registry, or a South African CSIRT incident registry. Year-to-year increases in notification volumes may reflect regulatory maturity, awareness growth, portal changes, and changes in notification behaviour — not only changes in underlying attack volume. The 5 enforcement notices value refers to enforcement notices issued in respect of POPIA investigations and assessments in 2024/2025 and must not be presented as five resolved incidents, five confirmed cyberattacks, five certified organisations, or five protected organisations. Do not present any admitted indicator as total South African cybercrime prevalence, total business incident prevalence, hidden incident prevalence, all-sector incident rate, breached-organisation count, resolved incident count, protected-organisation count, compliance achievement, certification, proof of security, or guaranteed protection.
