Continuing its global expansion plan, and its commitment to the African continent, Integrity360 has acquired Redshift, a well-established and highly regarded cyber security services company operating out of Johannesburg in South Africa.
The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The acquisition comes on the back of Integrity360’s considerable investment in the region following the 2024 and early 2025 acquisitions of the Grove Group and Nclose.
The acquisition brings Integrity360 resources in South Africa to a team of over 230 employees serving the needs of customers across Africa.
Key locations
Integrity360’s operations in Johannesburg and Cape Town also serve as key locations for its integrated “global SOC” (Security Operations Centre) operation which delivers a comprehensive suite of managed services, including EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), XDR (Extended Detection and Response), and MDR (Managed Detection and Response) solutions for both local and international customers.
Founded in 2015, Redshift has developed a reputation for service excellence amongst its customers, specifically for cyber security testing but also a selection of other specialized activities including cybercrime investigations, anti-fraud advisory, scammer group takedowns, cyber intelligence, and a focused range of managed services.
Redshift adds approx. 50 customers including many leading South African finance, banking and telecommunications organizations, and an additional team of approx. 40 employees to the group.
Regional center of excellence
Redshift will serve as a regional center of excellence for the group for cyber security testing, and also be connected up with the existing Integrity360 cyber advisory and managed services teams operating in the region. Integrity360 will invest in the development and expansion of the business utilizing the considerable resources across the group.
Redshift customers will benefit from access to Integrity360’s highly extensive and complementary cyber services portfolio encapsulating cyber risk and assurance, highly comprehensive 24/7 incident response and forensics services, infrastructure and technology services, PCI compliance, OT (operational technology) consulting and solutions, and a highly comprehensive range of cyber security managed services ranging from managing cyber infrastructure, to Managed SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), Managed CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management), and a full suite of innovative XDR/MDR solutions.
Innovative range of services
Integrity360’s innovative range of services have been recognized five times in a Gartner market guide most recently for Incident Response and Forensic services.
Ian Brown, Executive Chairman at Integrity360 commented “We are very excited to be welcoming Sean, Cailan and the entire Redshift team to Integrity360.”
“The reputation and expertise they have developed since their formation in 2015 is highly impressive and we are looking forward to helping them provide an enhanced set of services to their customers and expanding further in the African market over the coming years”.
Significant moment
Sean Howell and Cailan Sacks Directors of Redshift commented: “This is a significant moment for us, and we could not be more delighted that Redshift is joining Integrity360 and continuing the growth and development of the business that was initially started by Sean a decade ago.”
“Thanks to the support of our customers and employees, Redshift has grown enormously during that time, and having spent considerable time with Ian, and the wider Integrity360 leadership team, we are confident will continue to do so being part of the Integrity360 group.”
“We are excited about the future for us as an organization, for our people and in particular for what the enhanced group can provide our customers moving forward.”
