Capital A Investment Partners has realized an investment in leading cybersecurity independent software vendor QS Solutions. With the support of Capital A, QS Solutions will be able to further leverage on its strong offering of unique products and flagship solutions in the cybersecurity space, hereby responding to the ongoing growth in investment in the sector.

Headquartered in Amersfoort, Netherlands, QS Solutions offers software services and solutions to help to increase productivity and improve security at the same time. Working with a worldwide partner network of distributors, including ALSO, Ingram Micro and Tech Data to sell its proprietary software products, the Microsoft Gold- certified partner’s SaaS products include the Cyber Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) and PortalTalk, a security and governance add-on for Microsoft Teams. The combination of these products provides clients with a uniquely comprehensive cloud security and governance solution and encourages ongoing cloud adoption. In the next few years, the company aspires to grow its subscription base to six million global users.

Oaklins’ team in the Netherlands acted as the exclusive sell-side advisor to QS Solutions. This transaction builds on Oaklins’ strong track record in the Microsoft Ecosystem, business apps and cybersecurity space, which previously included deals such as GAC Business Solutions, HSO, Insite Security Groep, DearBytes and SurfRight.
