Non-Executive Chairman Mike Read, commented: “The market conditions for growth of Cyber Security and Intelligence for the new year are extremely favourable. The Board anticipates Falanx Group will reach breakeven within twelve months, with another period of client acquisition and robust, organic growth. Cyber and political risks continue to dominate our headlines and are highly likely to grow, placing security issues at the forefront of people’s minds. Unaffected by Brexit, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force in May 2018 and will impact all businesses across the UK and Europe, forcing management to address their security requirements or potentially face fines of up to €20m or 4% of global turnover.”

Falanx Group Ltd CEO, Stuart Bladen, commented: “Falanx has experienced robust revenue increases across all lines of business driven by geopolitical instability, rising cyber-crime, and increasing regulatory requirements such as GDPR, PCI-DSS and the Cyber Essentials programme.”
