Charterhouse snaps up Pentesec

Charterhouse Voice and Data has acquired Check Point partner and cybersecurity MSP Pentesec.

Pentesec provides cybersecurity managed services, consultancy and training.

Charterhouse claims that Pentesec’s strong Check Point capabilities will complement its existing cybersecurity partnerships with Palo Alto and Rapid7.

The Pentesec acquisition will underpin a planned investment into a security operations centre offering, Charterhouse claims.

The acquisition is the third from Charterhouse this year and its fifth since it first initiated its buy-and-build strategy in December 2019.

Charterhouse is anticipating to hit £100 million in annual revenues over the next few years driven by an aggressive M&A strategy.

The firm acquired two Microsoft partners – Symity and Digital Product Exchange – less than two weeks ago, with CEO Mark Brooks-Wadham claiming that more M&A is slated for this year.
