Integrity360 has announced that it has acquired European PCI QSA (Payment Card Industry Qualified Security Assessor) and cyber security services company Adsigo, as part of its Pan European expansion plan.

The acquisition will enable Integrity360 to expand further into continental Europe and provide additional skilled resources to its existing substantial PCI and cyber security compliance teams.

How Adsigo will aid Integrity360

Adsigo is a highly respected and well-established consultancy founded in 2013 and serves customers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

It operates out of Stuttgart, Hamburg and Zurich from which it provides services to a wide range of financial, industrial and services organisations.

Adsigo will complement Integrity360’s existing substantial PCI practice which operates as the Number One most chosen QSA organisation by Visa and Mastercard service provider organisations across Europe.

The company will also complement Integrity360’s existing regulatory and cyber framework services capability including ISO27001, cyber security strategy and third-party risk management.

Investment and services

Integrity360 will invest further in Adsigo to become a regional hub for the full suite of Integrity360 services during 2025 including the addition of a new SOC (“Security Operations Centre”).

The centre is based in Germany, which will be combined with the existing 130 people Integrity360 SOC resources based out of Dublin, Stockholm, Naples and Sofia.

The SOC teams deliver 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’).

“Both organisations share the same passion”

Ian Brown, Executive Chairman, Integrity360 commented “We are delighted to be welcoming the team from Adsigo to Integrity360.

“We have known Ralph and Stephan for some time and both organisations share the same passion for technical excellence and customer service as we do.

“The enhanced group will now significantly expand our existing activities and cyber services across the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland)  as well as offering the wider range of Integrity360 services to the existing customers of Adsigo.

“With the addition of Adsigo, group revenues in 2024 will exceed €135m significantly up on 2023 and group resources to approx. 550 employees,” concluded Brown.

“Continuing the journey”

Ralph Woern, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Adsigo commented: “I am really delighted that Adsigo is joining Integrity360 and continuing the journey that we started some 20 years ago.

“Thanks to the support of our customers and employees, Adsigo has become a leading QSA and provider of cyber services in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

“Adsigo is excited to continue that journey but also with Integrity360’s support, allowing us to further expand our team, our services and our market coverage.

“Our skills, combined with those of Integrity360, will provide an extension of our portfolio of professional, support and managed services.

Woern added: “This is great news for employees, customers and partners. I look forward to working closely with Ian and the wider Integrity360 team over the coming years”.
