AFINUM takes majority stake in SEQURIO

Afinum took control of Sequrio, the Frankfurt-based provider of data protection, information security and cybersecurity services, in a transaction announced in April 2026 and made through its Afinum X fund. It was the third platform investment of that vehicle, and was structured to fund the company’s acquisition strategy alongside its organic growth. Lilian Halex and Alexander Greis continued as managing directors. At the time of the deal, Sequrio had already brought together three businesses, aigner business solutions, msecure and scope & focus, employing more than 40 specialists and serving over 500 clients. Afinum based its investment on the fragmentation of a market where no clear leader had emerged, and on the prospect of building a national player through further acquisitions. KPMG, Lark and Singular advised on the transaction, while Houlihan Lokey acted as debt adviser to Sequrio, arranging the financing for its next phase of growth.
