Birmingham-based cyber security consultancy Aristi has been acquired by Limerston Capital, marking a significant step in the expansion of Limerston’s UK cyber services platform.
Founded in 2008 by CEO Harj Singh, Aristi provides penetration testing and cybersecurity consultancy services.
The firm joins Limerston’s existing portfolio, which includes Xypher, CyberCrowd, DigitalXRAID, and IntaForensics, extending the group’s capabilities across cyber resilience, digital forensics, incident response, security consultancy, and operational technology security.
Harj Singh, chief executive officer of Aristi said: “This marks an exciting chapter for Aristi. For over 17 years, our mission has been to deliver trusted, high-quality cybersecurity testing and consultancy services that genuinely help our customers strengthen their defences. Joining Limerston Capital’s cyber platform gives us the investment, scale and wider capability to accelerate that mission even further.
“We’re proud of what we’ve built so far, and with the wider group’s expertise, we look forward to expanding what’s possible for our customers and our team.”
Knights advised Aristi on the sale, with partners Gareth Burge and Amy Osbourn leading the transaction and solicitor Michael Kokkinoftas providing support. Corporate finance advice was provided by BSN Associates.
Amy Osbourn, corporate partner at Knights said: “It was a real pleasure to have worked with Harj and the team at Aristi to deliver this transaction alongside a number of our specialist teams from across the business. Aristi are market-leaders in cyber security, and I am proud to have supported a fellow Birmingham-based business with their exciting next chapter of growth and opportunity. I have no doubt the sale to Limerston Group will allow for the long-term success of both businesses, and I look forward to seeing them go from strength-to-strength in partnership.”
