Irish security VAR Integrity360 bolsters UK presence with acquisition

VAR plots further acquisitions after snapping up Metadigm

Dublin-based VAR Integrity360 has beefed up its UK presence with the acquisition of Security firm Metadigm.

Integrity360 currently has offices in London and Birmingham after starting its UK operation in 2012, and plans to increase its UK operation via a "twin strategy" of organic growth and acquisitions.

Metadigm was founded in 1989 and expects to see turnover hit £3m in 2017.

Eoin Goulding, CEO at Integrity360 said: "It's fantastic to be integrating Metadigm's expertise into our overall business, reinforcing our growth strategy and introducing a further skill set for our clients in Ireland.

"Metadigm has a strong reputation in the UK and we look forward to welcoming them to our team.

"The people and skill sets at Integrity360 are fundamental to the cybersecurity services that we deliver internationally."

Aside from its Dublin headquarters and UK offices, Integrity360 also has an office in New York.

In 2016, the firm says it saw revenue jump 53 per cent to €37.5m (£33m).

Metadigm has already been rebranded to Integrity360.

Jason Simper, director at Metadigm, said: "This is a great opportunity for us to be part of a leading cybersecurity organisation, positioning the UK team to offer enhanced IT security services with greater reach."
