Global Identity and Access Management Specialist, Rock Solid Knowledge acquired by Jonas Software UK

Right in the heart of practical cyber security

Rock Solid Knowledge, known as RSK, is a B-Corp certified, market leader in software, web and app development with a specific focus on Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Single Sign On (SSO) solutions. As a commercial support partner for Duende’s IdentityServer, the company has consistently delivered solutions to its high-profile, international client base.

RSK supports growing customer security requirements in international B2B and B2G markets including utilities, transport networks and national government. Their differentiation has been built on their own suite of products using in-house IP developed over 35 years.

Entrepreneurs Hub, with their specialist knowledge of the technology and software sector, was selected by the shareholders of Rock Solid Knowledge to assist them in finding an acquirer, enabling them to accelerate into a new phase of life. As a buy and hold investor with a growing global portfolio, Jonas Software was the ideal acquirer for this business.

Richard Blewett and Andrew Clymer, owners of Rock Solid Knowledge, said: “I don’t think we appreciated how long and complex it is selling a business. Entrepreneurs Hub explained the process and guided us through each stage with experienced hands. We would definitely not have been successful without their help.”

Andrew Shepperd, Director and Co-Founder of Entrepreneurs Hub, said: “This was a fascinating project to work on. The technology is compelling, and the disruption provided through this UK entrepreneurial business yet again demonstrates the vibrant capability of UK SME businesses. The fuel needed for the next phase of the RSK journey was to become part of a bigger technology family with broader commercial networks and reach. Each of us are aware of the increasing need for sophisticated protection against malign actors. So, it’s a privilege to work with owner/founders, like Andy and Rich, who have focussed their life’s work on building robust cyber defences.”
