UK-based Axiom GRC, a business resilience platform offering a governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solution, recently purchased Philadelphia-based IS Partners, a provider of cyber assurance and compliance services.
The purchase is part of Axiom GRC’s international expansion strategy and will strengthen its North American presence and broaden its cyber assurance and compliance offerings. This is the company’s first U.S. headquartered acquisition.
IS Partners complements Axiom’s existing U.S. presence in data privacy and cyber security, enterprise risk and ISO. It also adds to the capabilities Axiom can offer to U.S. clients.
“Our services are central to business resilience, particularly as AI-driven and sophisticated cyber threats continue to rise,” Robert Godard, IS Partners managing director, said. “Becoming part of Axiom GRC gives us the platform to accelerate our success — investing in our people, expanding into new markets and enhancing the technology that underpins our client experience. It’s a partnership that amplifies what we do best while unlocking the scale needed to meet fast-evolving global compliance demands.”
Axiom GRC plans to expand IS Partners’ footprint in the United States and internationally through investments and mergers and acquisitions.
Axiom GRC has eight established brands that offer more than 50 compliance products, serving 40,000 clients and 2 million users globally.
