Aries Global acquires IS Decisions to expand its identity & access management capabilities for the hybrid enterprise

London / Biarritz — February 16, 2026 — Aries Global has acquired IS Decisions, a cybersecurity software company that makes access security for Active Directory simple and effective for every organisation.

IS Decisions protects over 3000 organisations globally — from governments and banks to hospitals and manufacturers — with technology that secures identity, controls access, and flags suspicious activity before it becomes a breach. Its products, UserLock and FileAudit, are trusted for their ease of deployment, depth of control, and proven reliability in highly regulated sectors, and IS Decisions is recognised as a top vendor across Gartner review platforms.

The acquisition strengthens a core layer of Aries Global’s security capabilities, adding identity and access protection as a foundational control layer for modern enterprises. IS Decisions delivers rule-based, context-aware authentication and intelligent file auditing that strengthen Aries Global’s growing suite of secure, interoperable software.

Michael Mitterlehner, Co-Founder & CEO of Aries Global, said:

“With the rapid rise of AI and increasingly complex enterprise systems, organisations face relentless pressure to move faster. Adding zero-trust security has often meant adding friction. IS Decisions removes the trade-off between control and usability — locking down access without adding friction across complex enterprise environments.

Identity and access security is a foundational layer of our Security strategy. IS Decisions significantly strengthens that layer and accelerates our move toward adaptive, AI-driven enterprise security at global scale.”

François Amigorena, Founder of IS Decisions added:

“Our mission has always been to simplify access security for IT teams managing Active Directory. With Aries’ platform and AI expertise, we’re scaling that vision to meet the evolving challenges of hybrid networks for every organisation.”

IS Decisions delivers multi-factor authentication, contextual access controls, session management, and real-time monitoring built for modern Active Directory environments — making a strong security posture easy to manage for on-premises and hybrid setups. Key strengths of the IS Decisions platform include:

• AI readiness — A roadmap built around adaptive multi-factor authentication (MFA) and behavioural analytics that align with Aries Global’s long-term vision.

• Regulated-market depth — Deep adoption across defence, finance, and healthcare, where implementing a zero-trust security framework is key for compliance.

• Enterprise-scale trust — Trusted by more than 3,000 organisations worldwide, with exceptional retention and a reputation for reliability.

• Fast deployment — Installs directly on Windows servers, integrates instantly with Microsoft Active Directory, and secures hybrid environments without complexity.

As part of Aries Global, IS Decisions will have access to the Group’s advanced operating platform, and will accelerate its AI roadmap — including adaptive MFA and user behaviour analytics — while deepening on-premise dominance and Entra ID integration, and expand internationally by leveraging Aries Global’s scale and established channel ecosystem.

Aries Global will acquire a majority stake in IS Decisions, with Chris Bunn stepping into the role of the CEO.
