Saepio acquires Ruptura to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities

By Vriti Gothi

Saepio has acquired Ruptura to help organisations safeguard their most critical systems and data in an increasingly complex threat environment.

Having previously collaborated through a successful partnership, Saepio and Ruptura already share a proven track record of delivering robust cyber defences for clients. The acquisition brings Ruptura’s advanced penetration testing (pen testing) skills directly in-house, further enhancing Saepio’s ability to simulate real-world attacks and fortify clients’ cyber resilience.

As part of the transaction, Tom Heenan, Founder and Managing Director of Ruptura, will join Saepio’s leadership team as Director of Offensive Security, continuing to oversee the delivery of industry-leading penetration testing services.

Daniel Cardenas-Clark, Co-CEO of Saepio, commented, “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.”

The move reflects the growing demand for advanced cyber defence services amid an unprecedented rise in sophisticated and persistent attacks. The UK alone now faces an average of four nationally significant cyber incidents each week. At the same time, organisations are navigating increasingly complex compliance obligations and evolving regulatory frameworks.

Amir Nooriala, Co-CEO of Saepio, said, “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.”
