SecureData has acquired fellow cybersecurity specialist Cygnia Technologies for an undisclosed sum. The deal adds circa £9m revenues to SecureData's bottom line and also brings offices in Birmingham and central London. All of Cygnia's employees will remain with the group.
Both companies boast a strong pedigree in the cybersecurity space and are well known to each other, sharing many of the same partnerships with global cybersecurity equipment and software manufacturers.
Ian Brown, Executive Chairman at SecureData, commented: "In a world where the security threats to businesses are increasing almost daily, having a trusted cybersecurity partner is becoming a critical board room issue.
"The combination of SecureData and Cygnia positions the group well to provide that partnership for both private and public sector organisations.
"The enhanced group is now positioned as one of the leading independent cybersecurity services businesses throughout the UK and selected overseas markets, providing services to approximately 1,000 customers.
"With over 210 employees including 150 cybersecurity engineers, analysts and consultants, the group is well positioned to offer business customers a one-stop-shop service for all of their cybersecurity needs."
Cygnia MD Jon Busfield added: "With SecureData's range of professional, support and managed services, the enhanced offering is great news for our customers and partners."
