Daisy completes acquisition of ECSC to further strengthen cybersecurity services

The reseller is hoping to enhance its customer proposition by further expanding its cybersecurity services

Daisy Corporate Services has announced it has completed its acquisition of cyber security service provider, ECSC.

Daisy said the ECSC acquisition provides "highly complementary" services to its current operational resilience offerings, therefore providing an enhanced customer proposition.

In addition, the reseller hopes the acquisition - which has been in the making since April 2023 - will deliver significant opportunities to include cybersecurity services into Daisy's wider managed service customer base, supporting their long-term corporate development strategy.

Cybersecurity is still one of the most talked-about issues in the industry and despite economic pressures worldwide security spending is set to reach $219bn according to a study by IDC.

Established in 2000, ECSC provides security breach prevention, detection and response support to almost 425 customers across all sectors and including a range of corporate and blue-chip organisations.

Neil Thompson, CEO of Daisy said: "Cyber security is a major priority for organisations, as the severity of threats and vulnerabilities continues to grow.

"By combining Daisy's existing capability with ECSC's depth of experience and expertise, we can help organisations manage the growing complexity around security detection and response - delivering a new standard in cyber security services to mid-market and Enterprise organisations in the UK."

Matthew Briggs, CEO of ECSC also commented on the acquisition: "ECSC has established itself as a trusted and innovative cyber security service provider over the last 23 years.

"Daisy shares the same ethos, and as a leader in IT services we feel the two organisations are a great fit. We firmly believe that together we will become the UK's leading cyber security organisation."
