In a deal led by Reading based M&A Advisors EvolutionCBS, NTA Monitor, one of the UK’s most established independent cybersecurity and compliance service providers, has been acquired by Intertek Group plc.

NTA Monitor is a founder member of several recognised security regulatory bodies and has operations in the UK and Malaysia.

Formed in 1996 the company is a trusted supplier to both public and private sector organisations and has a first-class reputation for quality of service and customer care.

Intertek is a leading Total Quality Assurance provider delivering bespoke Assurance, Testing, Inspection and Certification solutions to a global client base

There was considerable synergy between the two companies as Evolution’s client director, Steve Barry, who led the deal, commented:

“Whilst there was a huge amount of interest from a broad range of potential buyers, there was an obvious fit with Intertek and NTA Monitor will complement their growing cyber security services operation”.
