What TRINEXIA does
TRINEXIA is a PAN-EMEA specialty value-added distributor of cybersecurity, digital forensics, governance, risk, and compliance solutions, founded in 1999 and operating across Southern Africa and broader Africa through two principal entities: TRINEXIA SOUTH AFRICA (registered in South Africa, headquartered in Bryanston, Sandton) and TRINEXIA AFRICA (registered in Mauritius with its regional headquarters in Port Louis). The company operates a pure-play distribution model, selling exclusively through a select network of specialist resellers rather than direct to end customers, and represents globally recognized, award-winning vendors including ZeroFox, CyberArk, Rapid7, and Trellix.
The company's solution portfolio is organized around six core pillars: Digital Forensics & Incident Response, Identity/Payments/Data Security, Continuous Adaptive Risk & Trust Assessment, Anti-Phishing & Security Awareness, Privacy/Security/Data Governance, and Application Security DevSecOps, with additional coverage in cloud, endpoint, threat intelligence, and cyber resilience. Beneath the distribution core, TRINEXIA offers higher-value services including Training, Counselling, Advisory, and Managed Services, positioning itself as a consultative value-add partner rather than a transactional box-mover.
Revenue is generated from margins on vendor product resold through channel partners, supplemented by professional services fees. The company markets through a corporate website with regional variants (South Africa, Africa, Africa French), LinkedIn, YouTube, industry events, and PR-driven news publishing. TRINEXIA maintains POPI and GDPR compliance for its own data handling, and serves public and private sector enterprises across Africa via its two-tier channel structure. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent or institutional investor ownership; it is led by Managing Directors Nicholas Applewhite (South Africa, joined 2019) and Gina Sewpaul (Africa), supported by a lean management team of approximately 25-40 employees distributed across South Africa and African regional offices.
