About PCGuard<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology is what we do. Personal service is how we do it.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n

PCGuard provides practical technology solutions and personal support to businesses across South Africa.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Story\n\n\n\n

PCGuard\u2019s roots date back to 1997, when Werner van Brakel established GVB after working as a consultant from 1995. His goal was to use his practical technology knowledge and support experience to help people and businesses solve real problems.

The business later became PCGuard and expanded its services to include IT support, Sage Accounting, web hosting, software solutions, and computer equipment.

Based in Pretoria, PCGuard supports businesses of different sizes throughout South Africa through both remote and on-site assistance. Werner brings more than 30 years of experience in accounting software, technical support and business technology.

Although technology and the business have evolved over the years, the approach remains the same: understand each client\u2019s needs, recommend a practical solution and provide reliable, personal support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPCGuard Computer Bridge Security System\n\n\n\n

One of PCGuard\u2019s early innovations was the Computer Bridge Security System. Its development reflects Werner\u2019s practical approach to technology: identifying a real problem and creating a solution designed to address it.

We will add the full story of how the system worked and what led to its creation once the historical details have been confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
