We started Arcivo
because the alternative
was a dusty filing cabinet.
Records management in South Africa hadn't changed in a generation. The incumbents stored boxes. The consultants wrote slides. Nobody did the actual work. So we built a firm that does.
Built for the
compliance era.*
South Africa's records management industry hasn't changed much in decades. Legacy providers offer box storage and little else. Compliance consultants give advice without implementation. And the businesses that need help most are left to figure it out alone.
Arcivo was founded to change that: a genuinely full-service offering under one roof. One team, one standard, zero excuses.
We operate nationally, but we think locally. Every client gets direct access to people who understand their industry, their regulatory obligations, and the South African business context they operate in.
Clients hand us what's most sensitive about their business: their records, their data, sometimes their reputation. We don't take that lightly. We'd rather tell you a deadline is tight than miss it. We'd rather quote you for what you actually need than upsell you on what you don't. And we'd rather build the records company South Africa needs in 2026 than the one it had in 1996.
If that sounds like a fit, we'd love to hear from you.
We operate in full POPIA compliance: appointed Information Officer, published PAIA manual, compliant processes throughout. We apply the same information security standards to our own data that we apply to yours: encrypted systems, role-based access, regular staff training. And we're B-BBEE compliant, CSD-registered, and actively support transformation through how we hire and who we buy from.
If we ever fall short on any of the above, tell us. We'll fix it before you finish your coffee.
If any of that sounded like something you'd want from a records firm,
— The Arcivo team. We'll be the ones who reply.
