Saepio’s acquisition of Ruptura boosts its growth ambitions and ability to meet demand in the face of ever-increasing cyber threats

LONDON, Monday 3rd November — Saepio, a leading provider of cyber security services and solutions, today announces the acquisition of offensive security specialist Ruptura. The deal will enable Saepio to better serve its clients in testing resilience against cyber threats by bringing Ruptura’s penetration testing — known as pen testing — into its suite of services. 

The acquisition is a logical next step for Saepio after a successful partnership in which Ruptura conducted pen tests for its clients to ensure that Saepio’s cyber security recommendations are resilient and robust. 

Tom Heenan, Ruptura’s Founder and Managing Director, will continue to oversee the high quality of penetration testing and will become Saepio’s Director of Offensive Security.

 “Ruptura’s team is highly-skilled and our clients have continually been delighted with their work. We are really excited to have the opportunity to bring these capabilities in-house. Ultimately, we are securing our clients’ most critical assets – their systems and their data – and this acquisition enables us to do that even more effectively.”  

Daniel Cardenas-Clark, co-CEO of Saepio

The acquisition points to the growing demand for Saepio’s services as organisations face rising, persistent and sophisticated cyber threats — with the UK alone facing four nationally significant cyber-attacks every week. At the same time, Saepio’s clients have a greater compliance burden, with complex regulatory requirements to contend with. 

“The timing of this acquisition is excellent. We will expand the penetration testing business, and offer additional offensive security services to match the needs of our clients and fulfil our ambition of becoming the largest independent cyber security provider in the UK and Europe. Our clients face an evolving set of cyber challenges, and we are on a mission to help them solve as many as possible. Additionally, Saepio is committed to maintaining the high quality of work that Ruptura’s clients have come to expect.” 

Amir Nooriala, co-CEO of Seapio

Ruptura’s penetration testing skills have been recognised in global industry competitions, with its team being ranked 1st in the UK in the Hack the Box Capture the Flag event for 2023 and 2024, and 14th and 9th in the world, respectively. 

Saepio’s acquisition brings Ruptura’s Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus solutions and certification body status — part of the UK government’s certification scheme — to its clients. 

“The expertise that Ruptura has in these frameworks fits well with Saepio’s cyber resilience consulting practice and enables us to offer a fully-integrated compliance and governance solution”
