We are seeking the UK’s best boutique cybersecurity companies. Become one of them to help shape the future of testing and assurance
AI-Driven change
The value in your security business is shifting
As AI scales the manual work that cybersecurity testing and auditing firms have done for years, their value concentrates in what can’t be automated: experience, knowledge, and the trust placed in certified practitioners.
Working with investment partner Ansor, we are acquiring these capabilities – bringing together outstanding businesses in pen testing, GRC, red teaming, appsec, secure development and more. We help each company grow and, uniquely, provide them with an innovation platform.
Ansor’s deep experience in strategic M&A and business transformation delivers targeted investment, sustainable growth and effective innovation.
Targeted investment
Organisational risk requirements are mapped to market data to identify boutique UK security companies with the expertise required by large organisations. This ensures a focussed mix of certifications, technical abilities and sector specialism
Sustainable growth
Acquired companies are given the resources to grow their businesses. Provided with tools, investment and strategic guidance, we help them upskill teams, develop capabilities and grow service lines
Effective innovation
Using a unique internal innovation model, acquired companies help build new products and services alongside entrepreneurial talent, engineering resource and senior security leaders. This collectively shapes the future of UK security testing
