Integrity360 accelerates global expansion

​

As part of its global expansion plan Integrity360 acquires Grove Group, a long-standing cybersecurity and cloud services company headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, providing Integrity360 with a further 600 additional customers spanning across 51 countries.  The acquisition will bring Integrity360’s group annual revenues to approximately €130 million (up from around €85 million in 2022) expanding the group’s resources to over 500 employees.  

Grove customers will benefit from access to Integirty360’s extensive cyber services portfolio encapsulating cyber risk and assurance, cyber security testing, incident response, infrastructure, end- point, PCI compliance, and a highly comprehensive range of cyber security managed services.  Grove’s technical support operations will serve as another SOC (Security Operations Centre) operation based out of Cape Town and will be combined with Integrity360’s other four SOC’s in Dublin, Sofia, Stockholm, and Naples – together operating with over 140 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).  Together with Integrity360’s deep partnership with leading NDR (Network Detection and Response) vendor Darktrace, and another global SOC (Security Operations Centre) location it brings the group’s SOC locations to five.  

“We are delighted to be welcoming Grove to Integrity360.  The enhanced group significantly expands our existing activities and cyber services across other continents including Africa and the Caribbean in addition to bolstering our existing markets throughout the UK and continental Europe.  The addition of another Integrity360 regional hub in Cape Town will further enable us to serve the local needs of customers, and the SOC will add to and expand our already considerable 24/7 SOC operations,” comments Ian Brown, Executive Chairman, Integrity360.  “Both companies share a passion for customer service and innovation, and we look forward to offering the group’s enhanced range of services to our collective customers and partners over the coming weeks and months.”
 
“I am delighted that Grove is joining Integrity360 and continuing the growth journey that we started some 19 years ago,” adds Pip Witheridge, Founder and Chairman, Grove Group.  “Thanks to the support of our customers, partners and employees Grove has grown and flourished during that time and I am confident will continue to do so being part of the Integrity360 group.”
 
“The connection between Grove and Integrity360 has developed over an extended period of time, and we could not be more delighted to be joining the group and working closely with Ian and the Integrity360 team over the coming years,” adds James Vinton, CEO, Grove Group.  “I am excited about the future for us as an organization, for our people and in particular for what the enhanced group can provide our customers and partners moving forward.”
 
Grove’s expertise in Darktrace solutions will add to that developed by Integrity360 following the partnership that it formed with Darktrace in early 2024.
