Our History

CWSI are one of Europe’s most experienced cloud security specialists, providing flexibility, security and productivity solutions to the private and public sectors in the UK and Europe. Our purpose is to help organisations thrive, and stay secure, in a mobile world.

CWSI was founded in Ireland in 2010 by Conor Headon, Philip Harrison and Ronan Murphy. The idea for the business was sparked by the launch of the very first iPad and the realisation that few IT teams had the knowledge or skills to get the best from these devices in an enterprise environment.

CWSI originally partnered with MobileIron, one of the first solutions on the market to leverage Apple’s device management APIs to enable enterprise users to maximise the benefits of the smartphone while giving IT teams visibility, control and management of the device.

In 2011, we launched our first channel services when we agreed terms with Telefonica O2 Ireland for the resale of our enterprise mobility services. In 2012, we added Eircom to our channel partners. This was followed in 2017 by the addition of 02 Telefonica UK and Telstra Australia.

In 2018, we established our Microsoft Practice. By August of 2019 we were a finalist in the Microsoft ‘Modern Workplace Partner of the Year’ at Microsoft: Inspire in Las Vegas. The following year we won the Microsoft Ireland Security Partner of the Year award, an achievement we repeated in 2022.

In May 2021 we accelerated our UK growth with acquisition of AVR International. We were also named by Deloitte as one of Ireland’s Best Managed Companies. In 2021 we were also proud to become the first Microsoft partner to be invited to become a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association.

In April 2022, we expanded our footprint further with the acquisition of Dutch security specialist BLAUD. This was quickly followed by a second BeNeLux acquisition Mobco which expanded our footprint into Belgium and Luxembourg. Also in 2022, CWSI was named by Deloitte one of Ireland’s Best Managed Companies for a second year running.
