Innovation Matrix Assessment
An established consultancy-led offensive-security practice with no evidence of a fast-moving product roadmap; growth was service-delivery expansion.
Provided hands-on penetration testing and security consultancy that directly validates client defenses against real attack techniques.
Acquired by Viatel Technology Group in July 2026 to expand its UK cyber-resilience roadmap and Scottish/UK presence.
Consultancy-led penetration testing and security advisory is an established service category; no distinctive technology or approach was identified.
Retained leadership team and brand post-acquisition and inclusion in an active acquirer's UK strategy suggest reasonable service quality.
Consultancy-led penetration testing and security advisory remain a durable requirement for organizations validating defenses against real attackers.
Why CISOs Should Care

What Makes It Different
A Glasgow-headquartered, consultancy-led cybersecurity specialist now combined with Viatel's connectivity, digital infrastructure, and managed IT services to offer a broader cyber-resilience proposition across the UK and Ireland.
