About this business
A young IT security business set up in 2024, offering vulnerability testing, security monitoring, staff awareness training and incident response to organisations in and around Aberdeen. It employs 9 people, based in leased offices on a suburban business park. Turnover has been steady at about £790k since it began, while EBITDA has climbed from £164k to £187k, a margin close to 24%. Clients tend to renew testing and monitoring each year, so a buyer inherits specialist skills and a client list built in a short time.
