Fime, a portfolio company of Gallant Capital Partners since 2024, has acquired Red Alert Labs, a French cybersecurity and compliance company, to strengthen its position as a global digital trust provider. The acquisition adds cybersecurity evaluation, certification expertise, and compliance automation to Fime’s existing capabilities in payments, smart mobility, and digital identity. Red Alert Labs brings its CyberPass platform, which enables manufacturers to assess compliance readiness and manage certification processes at scale.

Under the deal, Red Alert Labs will operate as an accredited independent laboratory under the new identity “Red Alert Labs, cybersecurity by Fime.” Founder Roland Atoui will continue leading the business with an expanded remit. The timing aligns with the enforcement of the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act, whose reporting obligations took effect on September 11, 2026, with full requirements applying from December 11, 2027. Together, Fime and Red Alert Labs aim to support customers across the full lifecycle—from advisory and security design through testing, evaluation, certification, and continuous assurance.
