Livingstone has advised ReeVo, a leading European provider of managed cybersecurity services (MSSP), on the acquisition of Hispasec Sistemas S.L. (Hispasec), a leading Spanish cybersecurity services firm with over 25 years of experience. The transaction strengthens ReeVo’s presence in the Spanish market and is a key step in its international expansion plan.
Hispasec is a Spanish company specializing in comprehensive cybersecurity services, currently serving more than 300 clients in Spain and Latin America. With a wide range of advanced consulting services, cybersecurity audits, SOC services, and AI-powered solutions, Hispasec is recognized for its technical expertise and commitment to protecting critical IT infrastructures.
ReeVo is a European provider of cloud and managed security services (MSSP) offering an integrated “secure-by-design” approach, combining cloud services, cybersecurity, cloud-native capabilities, and DevOps to ensure business continuity and data protection for its clients. The company provides its services in accordance with more than 20 top-level international quality standards and certifications and operates them through nine Tier IV (ANSI/TIA-942) data centers distributed throughout Europe.
The acquisition of Hispasec is part of ReeVo’s strategic plan to consolidate its presence in key markets and accelerate its growth in Europe. This transaction represents ReeVo’s first M&A operation in Spain and its second outside Italy, reinforcing its investment capacity, its focus on innovation, and its combined value proposition of managed services and advanced consulting. The combination of Hispasec’s strengths with ReeVo’s scale and technical resources will enable it to offer more robust and scalable cybersecurity services to customers across Europe.
“In Hispasec, we have found a team and values that are very much in line with our vision for growth. This acquisition represents a milestone in our international expansion and allows us to strengthen our capabilities in advanced consulting and managed services, always with a focus on customer proximity and measurable results,” said Salvatore Giannetto, Co-CEO of ReeVo.
“It has been a very positive experience working with both teams on this transaction, and the close collaboration between our Livingstone offices in Spain and Italy has been instrumental in successfully managing the cross-border aspects of the process. We are proud to have helped ReeVo and Hispasec advance their strategic objectives,” adds Neil Collen, Partner at Livingstone.
The acquisition completed by ReeVo, a portfolio company of White Bridge Investments, also represents an effective example of cross-border collaboration between Livingstone offices.
Umberto Rossi, Partner at Livingstone Italy, commented: “We are pleased to have supported White Bridge Investments, working in close collaboration with the Spanish team to successfully complete the transaction.”
