TAC Infosec Post-IPO Performance

TAC Infosec launched its IPO on 27 March 2024 with an issue size of INR 29.99 crore. The IPO got an incredible response from the investors which leads the subscription to 421X. The IPO listed with almost 3X returns on listing day. IPO momentum in the stock continues post listing and shares of TAC Infosec made an all-time high of INR 1,671.50 per share on 23 January 2025, reflecting ~1,476% returns from the IPO allotment price of INR 106 per share. Currently, it is trading around INR 1,040 per share (a correction of 38% from its 52-week high).

Strategic Acquisitions

TAC InfoSec’s growth was heavily driven by three major acquisitions:

  • Cyber Sandia (U.S.): Expands TAC’s footprint in North America, particularly in the public sector via New Mexico’s State-Wide IT agreements — a strategic entry point in a highly regulated market.
    CyberScope (Europe): With 2,780 blockchain and smart contract audits and assets worth USD 134 billion secured, CyberScope gives TAC instant leadership in the Web3 security space.
  • UAE-Based Firm: Marks TAC’s entry into the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, a fast growing cybersecurity hotbed driven by digital transformation initiatives like Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and UAE’s Smart Dubai strategy.

Analysis: Each acquisition is geographically complementary and technologically synergistic, significantly de-risks TAC’s revenue concentration and accelerates domain diversification — from traditional IT security to blockchain and IoT security.

Innovation at the Core

Innovation is at the heart of TAC’s strategy:

  • ESOF AppSec ADA MASA Launch: After partnering with Google, TAC launched its mobile application security assessment solution — putting TAC at the forefront of mobile security.
  • Global Certifications:
    • ioXt Alliance Certified — one of only eight companies globally authorized for IoT device security assessments.
    • ISO 17025 Accreditation — rare in cybersecurity, gives TAC’s testing frameworks immense credibility.

These certifications give customer confidence which is critical when serving Fortune 500 companies and government agencies

Global Clientele and Market Expansion

TAC Security’s client base swelled significantly:

  • 3,000+ organic clients by March 2025.
  • Additional 3,000+ clients post-CyberScope acquisition.
  • Presence across 100+ countries.

Key wins spanned sectors from banking, healthcare, manufacturing to public sector entities, reflecting the universality of demand for TAC’s offerings.

Management Perspective

Commenting on the results, Trishneet Arora, Founder and CEO, stated: “Our strategic acquisitions, combined with innovation and market expansion, have positioned us as a leader in cybersecurity. We are committed to delivering world-class solutions and expanding globally to drive value for stakeholders.

Risks and Outlook

While TAC’s growth trajectory is impressive, it must navigate:

  • Integration risks from multiple acquisitions.
  • Competitive pressure from established global cybersecurity majors like Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, and Fortinet.
  • Regulatory compliance demands — particularly as it scales operations across Europe and North America, regions with stringent cybersecurity laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).

Nonetheless, TAC’s strong cash flows, operational discipline, and expanding global footprint bode well for sustained double-digit growth over the next fiscal.

Management guidance suggests continuing 50–60%+ growth in FY 25-26, underpinned by existing momentum and newer AI-driven security solutions.
