IBM UK announced on September 24, 2026, the acquisition of Logiq Consulting, an NCSC-assured cybersecurity consultancy based in the UK. Logiq Consulting brings specialized capabilities in cybersecurity assurance, Secure by Design, secure systems engineering, digital transformation, and secure managed services, particularly serving the UK Defence Industry, Critical National Infrastructure, and wider Public Sector.
Logiq Consulting also operates DISX®, a managed sovereign collaboration platform for secure information exchange with UK Government and Defence organizations. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Logiq Consulting’s existing clients in the UK defence and critical national infrastructure sectors are directly affected, as their cybersecurity services are now under IBM ownership. Additionally, competitors in the UK regulated-sector cyber consulting space face new competition from IBM’s expanded portfolio. SDRs targeting these clients should note the potential for service changes or integration risks following the acquisition.
Monitor whether Logiq Consulting’s DISX platform sees changes in pricing or governance under IBM’s sovereignty agenda, and track if any key Logiq talent departs post-acquisition—both could trigger procurement reviews by defence and CNI clients.
