Integritis, a Midlands-based provider of integrated business operations support, has completed the acquisition of JS Information Governance (JS-IG), a specialised data protection, information governance and regulatory consultancy.
The strategic deal, Integritis’ first since it was launched in April 2025, doubles the company's annual turnover. The acquisition also strengthens its data protection, compliance and information governance capability, while expanding the regulatory support it can offer scaling businesses in the UK.
The acquisition will see JS-IG co-founder Mark Povey join Integritis, where he will lead and scale the social enterprise’s Foundation, the company’s social impact arm focused on supporting military veterans into long-term consultancy careers.
Povey, an eleven-year British Army veteran, is one of four JS-IG team members who will transition to Integritis, taking the buyer’s headcount from eight to 12. This ensures that no roles are lost through the acquisition, while also providing continuity for JS-IG’s client base, who will continue to be served by their existing account teams, with no changes to services or pricing.
Operating for eleven years, JS-IG provides specialised data protection, Data Subject Access Request (DSAR), Freedom of Information (FOIA) and outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) support to a broad UK and international client base.
Kieran Morgan-McGeehan, Co-Founder of Integritis, said: “Bringing Mark and the JS-IG team into Integritis is a strategic acceleration on every front. Commercially, it deepens our data protection, information governance, and regulatory capability and meaningfully strengthens what we can offer growing businesses navigating increasing compliance pressure."
“Just as importantly, it places the Integritis Foundation in the hands of someone who truly understands the people it is built to serve. Mark brings the lived experience, the network and the conviction to make the Foundation what we always intended it to be — a structural commitment to veterans, not a symbolic one.”
Mark Povey, incoming leader of the Integritis Foundation and Sales Director at Integritis, added: “This isn’t a deal driven by numbers alone. It’s driven by trust, by alignment of values, and by a sense that I now have the right partners to lighten the load and take on the work I care most about.”
“My focus now is on making the Foundation free at the point of use, drawing in the networks and relationships I’ve built over decades to underwrite that ambition, and building something that lasts.”
Integritis, which was co-founded by Kieran Morgan-McGeehan and Dave King, was launched last year to address challenges growing businesses face in scaling sustainably without distraction, complexity, or unnecessary cost. Working behind the scenes, the company takes responsibility for the systems and processes that keep businesses on course as they grow.
Since it began trading, Integritis has already secured contracts with start-up and scale-up businesses across digital transformation, cyber, risk, and SaaS sectors. The early traction reflects strong demand from UK organisations seeking a dependable, growth-ready operating partner rather than fragmented outsourced support.
