Assuria Ltd is a UK cyber security software technology company. The company specialises in automated compliance and information assurance solutions and log management solutions. The products are sold world-wide, especially to the financial services and government sectors.[1]

History

The company's roots date back to 1991 and the foundation of March Information Systems Ltd. This company developed the Security Manager product, and both company and product were acquired by Internet Security Systems in 1998, with Security Manager being rebranded as System Scanner. In 2004, the original team that was responsible for both Security Manager and System Scanner founded Assuria Ltd. The company took over the support and further development of that product, now branded Assuria Auditor.[2][3]

The company has been based since its foundation on the Whiteknights campus of the University of Reading, in the English city of Reading. Initially occupying offices in the, now demolished, Reading Enterprise Hub, the company relocated to offices in the Science & Technology Centre in 2007, before moving to the new Enterprise Centre in 2011.[4]

Between 2010 and 2012, Assuria was a partner in the iGRC consortium, a collaborative project with HP, Nexor, Infogov, Cranfield University, Loughborough University and Birkbeck College of the University of London, to automate threat level and control status changes for real-time management of the complexity, risk and resilience of secure information infrastructure.[5]

In late 2010, the company received inward investment from BAE Systems' Investment in Innovation fund. In 2011, the Assuria Log Manager product was awarded the CESG Claims Tested Mark (CCTM) by the Communications-Electronics Security Group (CESG), the United Kingdom's national technical authority for information assurance. In 2014, the company's Log Manager product was named Cloud Security Solution of the Year in that years Computing Security Awards.[1][6][7]
