MorganFranklin Cyber

What MorganFranklin Cyber does

MorganFranklin Cyber, now operating as Arcova following a March 2026 rebrand, is a private professional services firm that delivers cybersecurity advisory and managed security services to enterprise clients. Founded in 2018 as a cybersecurity practice within MorganFranklin Consulting, the firm completed a management buyout backed by private equity sponsor M/C Partners and subsequently rebranded the parent to Highspring. Arcova serves organizations seeking to address enterprise cybersecurity challenges, AI integration, business resilience, and adjacent technology domains, with a horizontal customer-segment approach rather than a vertical-specialized one.

The company's core offering combines two revenue streams: cybersecurity advisory services covering strategy, implementation, and risk management, and managed security services providing continuous monitoring, threat detection, and response. In 2025, the firm acquired Lynx Technology Partners, an acquired brand retained under the corporate umbrella that contributes cybersecurity capabilities and market presence. The underlying technology is described as cybersecurity advisory and managed services rather than a proprietary software platform; no patents, proprietary features, APIs, SDKs, or integrations are disclosed.

Arcova operates from a headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina with 12 additional offices globally, supported by a workforce of 251–500 employees. Revenue mechanics follow a professional services and managed services model; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm is owned by M/C Partners following the buyout, with the only named senior leader being Jatin Arora, Managing Director and Head of Cyber Strategy & Governance, Risk, and Compliance.
