About the Division

The value that Deloitte Risk Advisory Africa creates for organisations is synonymous with operational excellence. With security and privacy breaches on the rise, businesses need know that their confidential and valuable information, physical infrastructure, technology, processes and people are secure and under control and that their organisation can both respond to and recover from a security incident.

Deloitte Analytics is the practice of using data to drive business strategy and performance. It includes a range of approaches and solutions, from looking back to evaluate what happened to looking forward to conduct scenario planning and predictive modelling.

We assist our clients in solving a wide variety of data related challenges and define strategies for them to better manage, interpret and monetize their data assets. We are the leaders in analytics both globally and in South Africa and work across all the big companies, with a large focus on financial services and a strong footprint into the rest of Africa.
