Arma Partners is pleased to announce that it has acted as exclusive M&A advisor to Accel-KKR on its investment in Securepoint, a portfolio company of Maxburg, through a newly established single-asset continuation vehicle.
Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Lüneburg, Germany, Securepoint is a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions serving SMEs through a well-established indirect channel model. The Company operates a network of approximately 5,800 channel partners and managed service providers, serving more than 125,000 end-customers across the DACH region.
Securepoint offers an integrated suite of cybersecurity solutions spanning network security, endpoint protection, awareness training and managed security services. Since Maxburg’s investment in 2018, Securepoint has evolved from a founder-led business to a professionally managed cybersecurity platform, while significantly growing its recurring revenue profile, expanding its partner ecosystem and strengthening its competitive positioning in the DACH SME cybersecurity market.
The transaction enables Maxburg and the Securepoint management team to continue their partnership through the next ownership cycle, supported by additional capital to accelerate organic growth initiatives, selective M&A and further expansion of the Company’s cybersecurity platform.
This transaction highlights Arma Partners’ track record of delivering landmark outcomes for clients across complex M&A and GP-led transactions. It also underscores the firm’s deep expertise and growing momentum in the cybersecurity segment, having advised on seven transactions over the last twelve months, including Hornetsecurity, Namirial, Bridewell, 1E, MetaCompliance, and Sahar.
