Frequently asked
Does this work for resellers and ISPs, not just licensed networks?
Yes. The engine distinguishes an individual licence from a class authorisation and from reselling under a licensed party's authority, so each operator sees the obligations that actually attach to it — including the wholesale agreement file a reseller must be able to produce.
Does TefCo file my ICASA compliance report?
No. TefCo is a compliance management platform — it tracks the report, the fee and the supporting evidence, and warns you before the due date. The filing is made to ICASA by you or your advisor.
How does it handle RICA?
RICA subscriber registration records, retention of communication-related information and the interception assistance obligation each sit as tracked requirements with their own evidence slots, so an inspection request can be answered from one place.
How is it priced?
R399/month as a Single Specialist engine alongside CIPC, SARS, POPIA and HR, or included in Full Stack Specialist at R1,200/month.
