BlueVoyant a US-based cybersecurity services firm, has expanded its UK footprint with the acquisition of Marclay Associates. To fund the deal and fuel further UK growth, BlueVoyant will receive a US$30 million war chest from its existing investors.
“The UK is of critical strategic importance to BlueVoyant; extending our regional presence through this acquisition strengthens BlueVoyant’s support for customers in the UK and beyond,” said Robert Hannigan, chairman, BlueVoyant International.
“Marclay Associates’ expertise is well-recognised throughout the industry; combining our capabilities to help customers best protect their environment made absolute sense,” he added.
Marclay Associates’ range of services are centered around its digital forensics and incident response team, as well as its governance, risk and compliance practice. Supporting its professional services is Marclay One – a secure cloud-based communications platform.
“The acquisition of Marclay by BlueVoyant combines the global cyber expertise of our former UK intelligence and security services personnel, and our services, with BlueVoyant’s advanced cybersecurity portfolio,” said Jake Hockley, senior partner, Marclay Associates.
“With the support of BlueVoyant we can continue to help both new and existing customers meet their cybersecurity requirements with an exciting UK service offering,” he added.
