Nclose was founded in 2006 in Cape Town with a second office in Johannesburg. Its services include managed detection and response on its in-house Cyberfire platform, security assessment and testing, and operational technology security.
Integrity360 announced its acquisition in January 2025, expanding its South African footprint to over 180 employees and establishing the country as a SOC hub.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Developed its own Cyberfire MDR platform, but otherwise incremental.
Offers MDR, security testing, OT security and solution management with SOC delivery.
Acquired by Integrity360 in January 2025, with about 150 customers and ~125 staff reported by RTE.
Standard MDR and consulting mix.
Long operating history and acquisition diligence suggest real delivery, but no independent tests found.
Regional demand and consolidation by global players support relevance.
Why CISOs Should Care
A South African option with a proprietary MDR platform and now the backing of a European MSSP.
What Makes It Different
In-house MDR platform plus offensive testing under one roof.
The Matrix Verdict
58/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
Scores 58/100, placing it in the Incremental Innovator tier. A South African option with a proprietary MDR platform and now the backing of a European MSSP. Scoring is held down by limited independent efficacy evidence and a conventional managed-SOC model.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Headcount and revenue vary between Datanyze and press reports; Nclose is also a testing and consulting firm, so the MSSP classification reflects its MDR focus.
