Deals

Inflexion-backed Axiom GRC has strengthened its push into the US with the acquisition of AssurancePoint, a specialist provider of SOC and ISO audit and advisory services for mid-sized organisations.

Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Atlanta, AssurancePoint has built a fast-growing business focused on technology-enabled assurance services. 

Following the acquisition, the company will be integrated into IS Partners, Axiom GRC’s US platform, expanding its audit and assurance capabilities and accelerating growth across North America.

The deal marks the London-based firm’s second US acquisition since the group formally launched in May 2025, backed by £500 million of private equity funding. 

It was created as an integrated business resilience platform, bringing together compliance software, consultancy, cybersecurity and audit services under one umbrella to address regulatory and risk management demands.

Since its launch, the business has assembled more than 50 compliance products and supports tens of thousands of organisations globally, ranging from SMEs to large enterprises and public sector bodies. 

Its portfolio includes established brands spanning employment law, health and safety, ISO certification, regulatory intelligence and cybersecurity.

The company now provides software and services to more than 30,000 organisations worldwide, supported by a global workforce of more than 1,500 specialists across the UK, the US, Europe and Israel. 

“AssurancePoint’s impressive growth and exceptional recurring performance reflect the strength of its technology-enabled audit model,” said Alex Dacre, CEO of Axiom GRC.

“Integrating AssurancePoint into IS Partners further internationalises our GRC capabilities and strengthens our position in the U.S. assurance market. 

“This acquisition represents another step in building a unified, integrated GRC platform serving businesses of all sizes.”
