Advantio joins Integrity360 

​

As part of its Pan European expansion plan Integrity360 (https://www.integrity360.com) acquires leading European PCI QSA (Payment Card Industry Qualified Security Assessor) and cyber security services company Advantio to provide an additional cyber services practice focused on PCI compliance – complementing Integrity360’s existing service practices which include cyber risk and assurance, cyber security testing, incident response, infrastructure, end-point and SIEM professional services and a highly comprehensive range of cyber security managed services.

Advantio will continue to operate from its existing wide ranging European facilities but with the benefit of the full resources and capability of the existing Integrity360 business.  In addition, Integrity360 has formed a strategic partnership with the Advantio founders to expand the footprint of ZeroRisk, an innovative SaaS platform providing compliance and cyber risk management profiling services for the payment industry.
 
“We are delighted to be welcoming the Advantio team to Integrity360.  The enhanced group will now significantly expand our existing activities and cyber services throughout continental Europe, and further develop Advantio’s considerable expertise in PCI compliance,” says Ian Brown, Executive Chairman, Integrity360.  “The combination of the two businesses provides a powerhouse of technical cyber and security payments expertise for the group’s customer base including preparing for the impending arrival of the new PCI DSS 4.0 standard which requires comprehensive threat detection and incident response services.  The two companies are highly complementary, with common strengths in cyber assurance, cyber security testing and managed detection and response and share the same customer service ethos.  We look forward to delivering our expanded and extensive range of services for the benefit of our combined customers over the coming weeks and months”.
 
“I am delighted that Advantio is joining Integrity360 and continuing the growth journey that we started some 14 years ago.  Thanks to the support of our customers and employees Advantio has become a leading QSA and provider of cyber services across Europe and other overseas markets,” adds Marco Borza, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Advantio.  “Advantio is excited to continue that journey but also with Integrity360’s support, allowing us to expand our services and market coverage.   Our skills combined with those of Integrity360 will provide an extension of our portfolio of professional, support and managed services.  This is great news for employees, customers, and partners.   I am also delighted that we are forming a strategic partnership with the wider Integrity360 group to expand ZeroRisk’s merchant management platform, currently enabling merchants and merchant service providers to measure risk and manage compliance.  I look forward to working closely with Ian and the wider Integrity360 team over the coming years”.

Advantio’s existing SOC (Security Operations Centre) operation in Naples will be combined with Integrity360’s other three SOC’s in Dublin, Sofia, and Stockholm – now operating with over 100 dedicated engineers, consultants and cyber experts in delivering a wide-ranging set of managed services for customers including EDR, XDR and MDR (Endpoint Detection and Response, Extended Detection and Response, and Managed Detection and Response).
