Integrity360
A Dublin-headquartered, CREST-accredited managed security services provider running seven SOCs across Europe and Africa, formed in part through acquisitions including the UK's Caretower.

Integrity360 is a Dublin-founded managed security services provider that has grown, largely through acquisition, into one of Europe and Africa’s larger independent cybersecurity specialists. Founded in 2005, it now operates seven Security Operations Centres across Dublin, Sofia, Stockholm, Rome, Madrid, Johannesburg, and Cape Town, providing 24×7 managed detection and response, penetration testing, incident response, and payments and regulatory compliance consulting. Backed by UK private equity firm August Equity since 2021, the company has used acquisitions to build regional density — its 2022 purchase of UK MSSP Caretower alone added roughly GBP28M in revenue and pushed combined group revenue past GBP70M, part of a broader roll-up that has since brought Integrity360’s revenues past EUR100M.
The company’s differentiator against pure-play product vendors is breadth of accreditation and regulatory depth rather than a single proprietary detection engine: it holds CREST accreditation for incident response, SOC 2 certification, and delivers audits and advisory work spanning PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST, and SOX, on top of best-in-class third-party EDR platforms operated by its own certified analysts. That makes it a fit for mid-market and enterprise organizations in regulated sectors — finance, insurance, healthcare, government, and utilities — that need a regionally-operated European MDR provider with compliance expertise built in, rather than a US-centric platform.
Because Integrity360 is a services aggregator rather than a technology company, its evaluation criteria differ from product vendors: value comes from SOC coverage, analyst quality, and accreditation breadth rather than a distinctive software architecture, and its growth has been driven as much by private-equity-funded M&A (acquiring firms like Caretower, along with others across its European and South African expansion) as by organic product innovation.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Integrity360's speed shows up in integrating acquisitions and standing up new SOC locations (seven across Dublin, Sofia, Stockholm, Rome, Madrid, Johannesburg, and Cape Town) rather than in software release cycles, since it is fundamentally a services business built on top of third-party EDR platforms.
24x7 managed detection and response across seven regional SOCs, combined with CREST-accredited incident response and certified analysts, reflects a mature, proven operating model for continuous security monitoring at scale.
Since August Equity's 2021 investment, the company has grown through a consistent string of acquisitions -- including the 2022 purchase of UK MSSP Caretower, which alone added roughly GBP28M in revenue -- pushing combined group revenue from the GBP70M range past EUR100M, a clear and independently reported growth trajectory.
As a services aggregator built on best-in-class third-party EDR and security tooling rather than a proprietary detection platform, Integrity360's growth model is roll-up consolidation and regional coverage, not technological disruption of the MDR category.
Efficacy is backed by real third-party accreditation rather than self-reported metrics: CREST accreditation for cyber security incident response, SOC 2 certification, and delivery of PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST, and SOX-aligned audits are all independently verifiable credentials rather than marketing claims.
Regulated mid-market and enterprise organizations across finance, insurance, healthcare, government, and utilities in Europe and Africa have a clear, ongoing need for a regionally-operated MDR and compliance partner, and Integrity360's footprint and accreditation set map directly onto that demand.
Why CISOs Should Care
European and African CISOs who need 24x7 monitoring plus hands-on compliance expertise (PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST) from a provider physically present in their region, rather than a US-based MDR vendor, get both from a single relationship.
What Makes It Different
Its differentiation is regional SOC density and accreditation breadth built through disciplined M&A -- including the absorption of established regional players like Caretower -- rather than a single proprietary detection technology.
The Matrix Verdict
60/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
A well-credentialed, PE-backed European and African MDR consolidator with genuine operational scale and real third-party accreditations, best suited to regulated buyers who value regional presence and compliance depth over platform novelty.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Independently verifiable: CREST accreditation, SOC 2 certification, and the Caretower acquisition revenue figures (reported by Channelweb, IT Europa, and Computer Weekly at the time of the 2022 deal). Revenue figures beyond the reported 2022 GBP70M and more recent EUR100M+ estimates vary by data provider (PitchBook, Tracxn, Owler) and should be treated as approximate rather than audited figures.
