In today’s fast-moving market, the most serious threats often sit in a business’s “blind spots”. Under Europe’s new regulatory reality (NIS 2 and DORA), digital security is shifting from a technology choice to fundamental infrastructure. It is the critical element without which sustainable growth is impossible.
In line with our investment thesis of backing companies with a proven product and high added value, RED Group Capital has completed the acquisition of a 10% stake in GIT Protect.
Assessing the potential: why GIT Protect?
Our investment in the Sofia-based company (founded in 2018) is the result of an in-depth analysis of market needs. GIT Protect stands out for its ability to turn data security into a predictable business asset.
The key factors behind our decision:
- A validated business model: the company works with real customers and a clearly defined business logic in a sector where trust is the main currency.
- Expertise in critical areas: from audits and Disaster Recovery implementation to strict compliance with international standards, GIT Protect covers the full spectrum of digital protection.
- Scalability and synergy: integration with global leaders such as Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud opens the way to fast international expansion.
“We are entering a segment that is only just starting to reshape itself and will become increasingly important for business. We see it not as a stand-alone service, but as a core part of the digital infrastructure that companies build on and grow from,” says Petar Dyaksov, Board Member at RED Group Capital. “We look for companies that solve real, critical problems for business. Today data is one of the most valuable assets, and protecting it is directly linked to the resilience of, and trust in, every company. A breach has not only financial but also reputational consequences. That is why we believe cybersecurity solutions will become ever more important and in demand in the coming years.”
More than capital: the RED Growth Framework™
At RED Group Capital we do not believe in being a passive investor. We are partners in the true sense of the word. With this deal, GIT Protect gains not only resources for growth but also access to our proprietary methodology, the RED Growth Framework™.
It is our tool for lighting the way to international markets, optimising sales and building strategic brand positioning. We already see the framework working for companies such as Zenterra AI, and we are confident it will be a catalyst for GIT Protect.
“This kind of partnership shortens our path to new markets. It lets us stay focused on innovation while we build scale together with RED Group Capital.” — Sotir Hristov, GIT Protect
A vision for the future
The cybersecurity and cloud services market is on the verge of a major reshuffle. The companies that build their resilience today will be tomorrow’s leaders. This investment confirms our commitment to innovation that solves real, critical problems for business.
