Mature, established data-transfer security specialist rather than a fast-iterating new entrant.

Acquired by Acora in May 2026 as part of the group's push toward £100M in run-rate revenue.
Managed file transfer/data orchestration is a mature, well-established category.
Long operating history across regulated markets suggests real-world reliability, though no independent benchmark data was found.
Secure data transfer remains a core, persistent requirement for regulated enterprises moving sensitive data internationally.
Why CISOs Should Care
HANDD is a specialist secure data-transfer, automation, and orchestration provider serving regulated enterprises across the UK, Malaysia, Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
What Makes It Different
Deep, long-running specialization in managed file transfer and data-movement security rather than a broad security-platform play.
