Founded in 2016 by Trishneet Arora, TAC Infosec offers risk-based vulnerability management and assessment solutions, and other SaaS cybersecurity solutions to enterprises and small businesses. 

The company listed on NSE’s SME platform on April 5. Its initial public offering (IPO) received an overwhelming response from investors, closing with a 392.5X oversubscription. The startup raised INR 29.9 Cr through the IPO, which comprised a fresh issue of 28.29 Lakh equity shares.

The Vijay Kedia-backed startup posted a 23% jump in its net profit at INR 6.33 Cr in the financial year 2023-24 (FY24) from INR 5.12 Cr in the year-ago period. 

Revenue from operations also surged 17% to INR 11.84 Cr during the year under review from INR 10.09 Cr in FY23.

The startup has been consistently expanding its client base, having added 250 new customers in the month of July. The same month, the board at TAC Infosec also approved the formulation, adoption and implementation of a new employee stock option (ESOP) plan, TAC ESOP 2024.

Recently, it was also reported that TAC Infosec has signed a share purchase agreement to acquire US-based cybersecurity startup Cyber Sandia for $25,000 (about INR 20.95 Lakh). The acquisition will help the startup to expand its service offerings and strengthen its direct engagement with government clients.
