IBM UK said it completed plans to acquire Logiq Consulting, a UK cybersecurity consultancy. The move focuses on expanding capabilities tied to cybersecurity assurance and secure technology delivery in regulated environments.

IBM UK described Logiq Consulting as an NCSC-assured consultancy with experience in highly regulated settings, including the UK Defence Industry, UK Critical National Infrastructure and the wider Public Sector. IBM also said the acquisition adds capabilities to SiXworks (an IBM Company) digital transformation expertise in Defence and the Public Sector.

Under the described scope of work, Logiq Consulting’s capabilities span cybersecurity assurance, Secure by Design, secure systems engineering, digital transformation, and managed services. The business also developed and operates DISX®, described as a managed, sovereign collaboration platform for government suppliers to securely exchange sensitive information with UK Government and Defence organisations while maintaining control over where and how information is managed.

The companies said Logiq Consulting’s Secure by Design and assurance expertise applies across the UK public and defence sectors across the technology lifecycle. Rhodri Arrowsmith, Managing Partner for IBM Consulting in UK & Ireland, said, “Cybersecurity, governance and resilience are absolutely critical to organisations as they increasingly accelerate their transformation and adopt AI at scale,” said Rhodri Arrowsmith, Managing Partner for IBM Consulting in UK & Ireland. “Logiq Consulting brings highly specialised expertise in Secure by Design and cybersecurity assurance that complements our existing capabilities and supports our ability to help clients across the UK99s most security-conscious sectors transform with confidence.” Mark Hughes, Global Managing Partner for IBM Consulting Cybersecurity Services, said, “Protecting mission-critical systems has never been more important,” said Mark Hughes, Global Managing Partner for IBM Consulting Cybersecurity Services. “This acquisition strengthens our ability to help clients manage risk, protect critical services and navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape.” Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
