Ubisecure Announces Growth Funding from Octopus Investments to Accelerate

Growth & Meet Demand for Customer Identity & Access Management Solutions
Across Europe

Founded on the principles that digital identity data should be private and protected and that
connecting digital identities to applications should be straightforward and effective, Ubisecure, the
established market leader in Finland, is taking its customer digital identity, authentication and
management solution to a wider European customer base.

London, United Kingdom, May 17, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Ubisecure (ubisecure.com), a leading Customer
Identity & Access Management software provider and cloud identity services enabler, has today
announced that it has secured significant growth capital from Octopus Investments to fuel expansion in
Europe and accelerate category-defining innovation and product development for its Customer Identity &
Access Management (CIAM) platform.

Driven by privacy regulation such as GDPR and PSD2, as well as digital transformation and customer
experience improvement initiatives, Ubisecure provides a powerful Identity Platform to connect customer
digital identities with customer-facing SaaS and enterprise applications in the cloud and on-premise. The
platform consists of productised Customer IAM middleware and API tooling to help companies connect,
manage, secure and streamline the use of customer identities to reduce the efforts and cost of delivering
connected, business-critical applications across all devices.

Simon Wood, CEO of Ubisecure, commented: “With the number of breaches involving personal
information increasing and with GDPR going into effect on May 25, 2018, the subject of how companies
handle identity data has become a particularly hot topic this year. Our identity platform not only protects
and manages identity data, but also helps make the most of existing digital identities to create frictionless
customer experience and bring about organisational efficiencies. When considering investment partners,
we chose to partner with Octopus because of its track record in supporting the growth of successful
enterprise software businesses across Europe, and we are very excited about our next phase of
expansion.”

Grant Paul-Florence, Head of Intermediate Capital at Octopus Investments, commented: “There is a huge
opportunity for Ubisecure to expand its European presence, and we are thrilled to have been brought on
board to support the company in this next stage of growth. Ubisecure's customers speak exceptionally
highly of the world class expertise of the team and its CIAM platform, which allows companies to
achieve security, productivity and workflow efficiencies at a much larger scale. This unique technology
combined with the growing market opportunity makes it an exciting opportunity for our investors and we
are looking forward to working with the team.”

Notable Ubisecure customers across its target verticals of Telecoms, Retail, Financial & Energy include
S-Group, DNA, Neste as well as several Government organisations. Its partners include CGI, Cap
Gemini, Tieto and Nixu.
