Assured Data Protection expands globally with HSBC support
A Leeds-headquartered global cybersecurity company is expanding internationally with support from HSBC UK’s Growth Lending fund.
Assured Data Protection (Assured) is a backup and recovery technology services business protecting critical data and operations for mid-market companies around the world.
Founded in 2016 and co-headquartered between the UK and US, Assured Data Protection is a managed service provider for cloud data management platform Rubrik.
Using Rubrik technology alongside its own proprietary systems, Assured safeguards businesses against IT disruptions and cyberattacks.
Assured is using an eight-figure funding package from HSBC UK’s Growth Lending fund to support expansion into new markets including France, Canada and Latin America, as well as supporting further development into data protection, cyber resiliency and disaster recovery.
A spokesman said: “Assured is the first North of England business to benefit from HSBC UK’s £250m Growth Lending fund, designed to support high growth UK tech scale-ups.
"It provides access to finance, as well as HSBC’s international expertise, and will help businesses achieve their global ambitions.”
Simon Chappell, the CEO of Assured Data Protection, said: “We go into 2026 with a strong global team in place and ambitions for a positive year ahead.”
Roland Emmans, Head of UK Tech Sector & Growth Lending, added: “In a world of increasing and rapidly evolving cyber risk, disaster recovery and cyber resilience companies like Assured are essential to mitigate risk for their customers.
" Their mission critical services have delivered robust growth, strong recurring revenues and low customer churn, all of which made them ideal for our Growth Lending fund.
"We’re very proud to support Assured and look forward to working with them during their next phase of international growth.”
Jamie McCullough, Senior Corporate Director for HSBC UK, added: “It is fantastic to support Assured through our Growth Lending fund at HSBC UK.
"The business has a clear strategy built on understanding changing global demand, which is why we were so keen to offer this new tech growth lending product.
"With this facility, new innovations in pipeline and a solid strategy, we’re excited to see what the future holds for the business and the strategic value we can add to technology businesses in Northern England.”
