Red Helix, a cybersecurity company located in Aylesbury, has purchased the security consultancy firm Risk Crew. The acquisition, backed by investor LDC, is part of Red Helix’s strategy to expand its services and pursue acquisitions.
Based in London, Risk Crew offers services to businesses across the UK and Europe, including information and security governance, risk and compliance (GRC), and security penetration testing. Red Helix initially received investment from LDC in 2021 to grow its product and service offerings.
Marion Stewart, chief executive of Red Helix, said: “The sheer scale of the cyber risks faced by businesses has never been greater and we are committed to supporting our clients in the fight against cybercrime. Adding broader cyber assurance services and skills to our business bolsters our ability to deliver on this mission.”
Richard Hollis, chief executive at Risk Crew, commented: “Both our team and our clients will benefit from being part of the integrated Red Helix business. The alignment of our goals, and the depth of knowledge and experience amongst our teams, will make us an exceptional provider of cyber services. The threat landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and being able to continually develop our capabilities and cyber offering is both exciting to us and critical for our clients.”
