DataExpert Strengthens European Cybersecurity Capabilities Through the Acquisition of Copenhagen-based ADO Security
Today we announced the acquisition of Copenhagen-based ADO Security to strengthen our position as a provider of end-to-end cybersecurity services across Europe.
Cybersecurity has evolved from an operational IT concern into a strategic boardroom priority. As cyber threats continue to increase in sophistication, frequency and geopolitical impact, organizations are seeking security partners that combine deep technical expertise, continuous threat monitoring and the scale to support increasingly complex cross-border security challenges.
These changing market dynamics require cybersecurity providers to broaden their capabilities, invest in advanced technologies and deliver integrated services across the entire cyber resilience lifecycle.
This acquisition represents an important step in DataExpert’s ambition to build one of Europe’s leading cybersecurity organizations. By combining ADO Security’s advanced Managed Detection and Response (MDR) platform and Offensive Security Services with DataExpert’s expertise in Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR), Threat Intelligence, Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) and cyber investigations and its established European network, customers will benefit from a stronger, broader and more integrated cybersecurity offering.
Together, the organizations will offer comprehensive cybersecurity capabilities spanning proactive security assessments, penetration testing, threat intelligence, continuous monitoring, incident response, digital investigations, regulatory compliance and strategic cyber advisory services.
"Cybersecurity has become a strategic business priority that requires more than technical excellence alone. Organizations need partners with the expertise, scale and international reach to help them navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape, while still working alongside them with the responsiveness and personal commitment they expect from a trusted advisor" said Ivo Paul Tummers, CEO of DataExpert Group. "By joining forces with ADO Security, we are combining highly complementary capabilities to create a stronger organization. Together we can help our customers build resilience across the entire cyber lifecycle. From prevention and detection to response, recovery and continuous improvement."
ADO Security has built a strong reputation in the Nordic market through its innovative MDR platform and specialist cybersecurity services, enabling organizations strengthen resilience through a combination of continuous monitoring, threat detection and proactive security testing.
"Joining DataExpert Group marks an exciting new chapter for ADO Security" said Kim Skov Nielsen, CEO of ADO Security. "The combination allows us to accelerate innovation, expand our service portfolio and provide customers with a stronger, truly end-to-end cybersecurity offering across Europe."
Customers of both organizations will continue working with their existing teams while gaining access to broader expertise, additional services and expanded international capabilities. The integration will focus on preserving the strengths of both organizations while creating new opportunities for innovation and growth.
The transaction reflects DataExpert's continued investment in strengthening Europe's cybersecurity ecosystem and supporting organizations with intelligence-driven, end-to-end security services.
