What Becrypt Limited does

Becrypt Limited is a UK-based, privately held cybersecurity SME founded in 1996 and headquartered in London, specialising in high-assurance products for organisations operating in classified or elevated-threat environments. Its portfolio centres on three product pillars: a secure desktop built around Becrypt OS (a measured-execution endpoint operating system designed in collaboration with UK Government), Cross Domain Solutions led by the APP-XD high-assurance API gateway, and Secure Mobile products including MDM+, Becrypt Docs and Calendar Sync. Supporting services include the Collaborative Work Environment (CWE) hosted private cloud, an OS Management Service (DaaS), a Secure Mobile Service and bespoke national-security R&D.

The company monetises primarily through enterprise licensing with annual subscription/support contracts (typically up to three years), supplemented by recurring managed services and bespoke consulting. Revenue mechanics are quote-based, reflecting the bespoke integration required for accredited deployments. Customers are concentrated in UK Central Government, Defence and Critical National Infrastructure organisations, with additional penetration into FTSE-grade enterprises and selected transport operators; named logos include the UK Home Office (Accelerated Capability Environment), UK Defence, CNI organisations and rail operator EWR. Becrypt is currently being acquired by Leonardo through Leonardo UK Ltd, with closing expected in Q2 2026.

Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with a broad UK reseller network (Softcat, Computacenter, CDW, Bytes, Storm, Boxxe, SoftwareOne) and strategic technology alliances (AWS, VMware, Dell, Sopra Steria, Glasswall, Vodafone). The business has grown to approximately 100 employees, reported 30% year-on-year revenue growth in both 2024 and 2025, and recently achieved NCSC Cyber Resilience Testing (CRT) certification for Becrypt OS under Principles Based Assurance, alongside ISO 27001/9001/14001, Cyber Essentials Plus and JOSCAR accreditations.

Core offering

Becrypt develops and sells a platform of high-assurance cybersecurity software products for endpoint, cross-domain and mobile environments, anchored by Becrypt OS (a tamper-detecting secure operating system), Becrypt APP-XD (a High-Assurance Cross Domain API Gateway), and Becrypt MDM+ (cross-domain mobile device management), supported by an Enterprise Manager console and modules for secure email, document transfer, VDI protection and device authentication. The company complements its software with managed services (OS Management Service, Secure Mobile Service, Collaborative Work Environment hosted Private Cloud) and bespoke R&D consultancy for government and Critical National Infrastructure customers.

Product overview

Becrypt Limited offers a platform-plus-modules architecture of High Assurance cybersecurity products and services. The core portfolio centers on three product pillars: Secure Desktop (Becrypt OS secure operating system, Thin Client, Enterprise Manager), Cross Domain Solutions (APP-XD High Assurance API Gateway, VDI Guard, Mail, Calendar Sync), and Secure Mobile (MDM+ mobile device management, Docs). Supporting services include cloud offerings (CWE Private Cloud, Private Cloud Infrastructure), managed services (OS Management Service, Secure Mobile Service), and bespoke development services. These products integrate together within Zero Trust architectures, with APP-XD serving as the cross-domain connectivity backbone and DAS providing device authentication across the endpoint ecosystem.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Thales: Global defence and security prime with cross-domain solutions, encryption products, and classified-government cyber offerings. Comparable because Thales serves similar Five Eyes and European government buyers with overlapping CDS and high-assurance capabilities.
• Darktrace: UK-founded AI cybersecurity vendor serving enterprise and government customers globally. While focused on AI-driven threat detection rather than high-assurance endpoint OS, both companies are prominent UK cyber champions targeting government and CNI buyers.
• NCC Group: UK-headquartered cybersecurity services and software firm focused on assurance, escrowed source code, and government-grade cyber consulting. Overlaps with Becrypt in serving UK Government and CNI clients with high-assurance cyber offerings, though primarily as a services player.
• QinetiQ: UK defence and security company providing cyber, intelligence, and secure communications services to government and defence customers. Overlaps with Becrypt in UK defence cyber procurement and high-assurance communications solutions.
• BAE Systems (Applied Intelligence): Large UK defence prime with a substantial cyber security division serving UK Government, defence, and CNI customers. Overlaps with Becrypt in government-grade cyber solutions and offers broader scale and bundling power across defence programmes.

Direct peers

• Forcepoint: Global cybersecurity vendor with a strong Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) portfolio (formerly Trusted Thin Client, Forcepoint CDS). Directly comparable because both companies serve classified government environments with CDS, secure access, and high-assurance data transfer products.
• Garrison Technology: UK-based provider of high-assurance secure web browsing and endpoint isolation solutions for government and defence customers. Comparable as a UK high-assurance cybersecurity specialist serving similar classified-environment and CNI buyers with similar delivery models.
• Owl Cyber Defense: Specialist US provider of Cross Domain Solutions, data diodes, and high-assurance network security for government and defence. Directly comparable to Becrypt's APP-XD product line as a focused CDS vendor serving classified environments.

Regional players

• Advenica: Swedish provider of high-assurance cybersecurity solutions including cross-domain solutions and encryption products for government and critical infrastructure customers in Europe. Comparable technology focus but primarily serves Nordic and European markets rather than UK/Five Eyes.

Others

• Atos (Eviden): European IT services and cybersecurity firm serving defence, government, and CNI customers. Overlaps indirectly via systems integration, secure infrastructure, and digital workplace services that compete with Becrypt's broader managed and OS-as-a-service offerings.
