Integris Acquires MSP Blue Jean Networks, MSSP Security7 Networks

National MSP Integris has acquired Blue Jean Networks, a managed service provider, and Security7 Networks, an MSSP.

In August, Channel Futures named Integris the No. 1 fastest-growing MSP on our MSP 501 list. The Integris network now has offices in 10 states with nearly 500 employees. They offer enterprise IT services and round-the-clock security monitoring for the SMB market.

Integris didn’t say how much it’s paying for the two companies.

Rashaad Bajwa is Integris’ CEO.

“The addition of Blue Jean Networks and Security7 expands Integris’ capabilities and emphasizes our commitment to clients who need the highest possible levels of security for their businesses,” he said.

New Skills, Offerings for Integris Clients

Both acquisitions signify an expansion in skill sets and offerings to Integris’ current and future clients, Bajwa said. With Blue Jean Networks, Integris gains new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and managed cybersecurity experts.

Sunny Lowe is Blue Jean Networks’ founder and CEO.

“Joining Integris adds the ability to serve remote clients effectively,” he said. “This is a win for our existing clients, as well as those around the country seeking help with CMMC. Integris is a fantastic company. And we can’t wait to see what this new partnership can bring to the CMMC community,” 

Security7 Networks brings new and expanded cybersecurity practices. It allows Integris to add more CISOs, vCISO services and capabilities to provide compliance and regulatory consulting for more clients.

“Integris’ company culture, focus on integrity and exceptional reputation fell perfectly in line with Security7 values,” he said. “Now that we’ve joined forces, we’ll be able to provide broader services and deeper security offerings for our clients with the backing of a large, fast-growing premium MSP.”

Early this year, Iconic IT and Integris merged, combining the company under the Integris name. The merger made it one of the largest MSPs dedicated to the SMB sector.

Integris has partnered with Frontenac, a Chicago-based private equity firm, to build a national MSP platform.
