LONDON & HELSINKI, Finland (PRWEB) May 17, 2018 -- Ubisecure, a leading Customer Identity & Access Management software provider and cloud identity services enabler, has today announced that it has secured significant growth capital from Octopus Investments to fuel expansion in Europe and accelerate category-defining innovation and product development for its Customer Identity & Access Management (CIAM) platform.

Ubisecure’s customers speak exceptionally highly of the world class expertise of the team and its CIAM platform, which allows companies to achieve security, productivity and workflow efficiencies at a much larger scale.

Driven by privacy regulation such as GDPR and PSD2, as well as digital transformation and customer experience improvement initiatives, Ubisecure provides a powerful Identity Platform to connect customer digital identities with customer-facing SaaS and enterprise applications in the cloud and on-premise. The platform consists of productised Customer IAM middleware and API tooling to help companies connect, manage, secure and streamline the use of customer identities to reduce the efforts and cost of delivering connected, business-critical applications across all devices.

Simon Wood, CEO of Ubisecure, commented: “With the number of breaches involving personal information increasing and with GDPR going into effect on May 25, 2018, the subject of how companies handle identity data has become a particularly hot topic this year. Our identity platform not only protects and manages identity data, but also helps make the most of existing digital identities to create frictionless customer experience and bring about organisational efficiencies. When considering investment partners, we chose to partner with Octopus because of its track record in supporting the growth of successful enterprise software businesses across Europe, and we are very excited about our next phase of expansion.”

Grant Paul-Florence, Head of Intermediate Capital at Octopus Investments, commented: “There is a huge opportunity for Ubisecure to expand its European presence, and we are thrilled to have been brought on board to support the company in this next stage of growth. Ubisecure’s customers speak exceptionally highly of the world class expertise of the team and its CIAM platform, which allows companies to achieve security, productivity and workflow efficiencies at a much larger scale. This unique technology combined with the growing market opportunity makes it an exciting opportunity for our investors and we are looking forward to working with the team.”

Notable Ubisecure customers across its target verticals of Telecoms, Retail, Financial & Energy include S-Group, DNA, Neste as well as several Government organisations. Its partners include CGI, Cap Gemini, Tieto and Nixu.

Ubisecure will expand personnel across the Nordics and immediately establish local presence in the UK to support new customers and partners and plans to open a local German office in late 2018.

Richard Court and Paul Davidson of Octopus Investments will join Ubisecure’s board of directors.
