HiQ expands within cybersecurity by welcoming Consign's consultants to the company
HiQ is investing and strengthening its offering in cybersecurity. The company is taking over Consign’s consultants – who bring complementary expertise in secure development of network and infrastructure.
“There is no doubt that the demand for expertise in cybersecurity is significant. Many companies and organizations struggle to access the right expertise to secure their operations against increased threats. We encounter these types of challenges more and more in discussions with clients, and we are making a significant effort to have even better capabilities to be a partner at the forefront of security matters. A crucial step is, of course, to broaden our expertise, and we are very pleased to welcome Consign's consultants with their deep knowledge to HiQ," says Samuel Skott, CEO of HiQ.
For several years, HiQ has supported companies and the public sector in cybersecurity, with a focus on governance, risk and compliance, technical security, and penetration testing. With about ten senior consultants from Consign, HiQ is now expanding its offering with security expertise in network and infrastructure.
“Together with our new colleagues, we are expanding a distinct fourth offering in cybersecurity, with a focus on the competence area of network and infrastructure. Just as in all development, combining expertise is incredibly important to ensure the security aspect is not overlooked. A combination of regulatory requirements and availability also requires a higher layer of security, and with this added group, we strengthen our competence offering in the area, which feels fantastic," says Sofie Höijer, Commercial Manager in Cybersecurity at HiQ.
Second addition to HiQ in 2024
Consign's consultants are the second addition to the HiQ Group this year. Since the beginning of the year, the IT and tech company is also to acquire a leading business unit with nearly a hundred tech consultants specializing in the public sector from Ambientia in Finland.
