Redsquid has acquired Computer Security Technology (CST), in a move that aims to strengthen the company’s position in the cyber security field ensuring comprehensive protection and robust security measures for clients, and underlines its strategic objective to expand upon in-house security capabilities.
The added team of 15 will bring enhanced skills, assessors and security professionals including an ISO27001 Lead Implementer; an ISO 27001: 2022 Transition Provider; a Cyber Essentials Assessor; a Cyber Assurance Assessor; a Cyber Essentials Plus Assessor; a CISSP - Certified Information Systems Security Professional; a CSTM - Cyber Scheme Team Member; and AWS Cloud Security Specialist.
This strategic move will also bring added value to the group as part of the company’s efforts to bolster its security team and enhance service offerings, alongside providing top-tier security solutions to UK clients.
CST brings expertise and a skilled security team that will integrate into Redsquid's operations, with cybersecurity experience including threat detection, risk management, and incident response.
Redsquid will also add a Liverpool Street-based office that becomes the fifth permanent office location as it continues to expand its geographical reach with offices that include the HQ in Borehamwood, Aberdeen, Pinewood Studios and Warner Brother Studios.
Sohin Raithatha, CEO of Redsquid said: “With an increased security threat level, CST brings the experienced team and technologies into the organisation that allows us to give the best security solutions to our customers.”
Nigel Lewis, founder of Computer Security Technology added: “This move provides Redsquid customers with our cyber security expertise, experience, and associated security portfolio.
“CST’s customers will also benefit from an enhanced portfolio and skill set that has a broader technology appeal such as Microsoft, Managed Services and Communication.”
The acquisition of CST was facilitated with strategic advice from Altenburg Advisory and supported by ThinCats.
It marks the fourth acquisition for the company in the last 12 months, and the first for 2025.
