Aspire has formed a strategic partnership with CSS Assure, working together to provide integrated, end-to-end support to organisations looking to strengthen their cyber resilience.
The new agreement joins together Aspire’s managed security service with CSS Assure’s specialist expertise in compliance frameworks, breach response, and regulated environments.
The announcement comes as high-impact cyber incidents grow across the UK, with recent attacks affecting everything from supply chains to customer data.
It also follows a period of expansion for Aspire over the past 18 months, through acquisitions in Scotland and Yorkshire.
The company now supports more than 2,000 organisations across the UK, with continued investment in its services to meet growing demand from both public and private sectors.
Adam Veitch, Head of Product and Commercial at Aspire said: “This partnership builds on the strength of our cyber security services and reflects the broader challenges our customers are dealing with.
“By working with CSS Assure, we’re enhancing the support we offer around risk and compliance at a time when organisations are being tested on every front, technically, operationally and reputationally.”
To support businesses navigating these pressures, Aspire will host the Aspire Cyber Summits this autumn across Newcastle, Leeds and Glasgow, with key partners including CSS Assure to explore how organisations can strengthen their ability to respond to incidents and recover quickly.
The summits form part of the wider partnership’s commitment to helping organisations confidently manage growing cyber risk.
