SCANIT ME FZ LLC, a Dubai Based information technology (IT) security consulting company, has entered into a strategic partnership with Ascendsys Sdn Bhd to jointly tap the Malaysian, Indonesian and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets.

The tie-up is aimed at addressing the lack of best practices and industry standards for security management, especially in markets where there is currently a strong demand for end-to-end security consultancy services, Scanit said in a statement in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

“This is a win-win partnership which completes both Scanit and Ascendsys’ portfolio of security offerings, while maintaining the quality by which we have both grown in the market”, said Scanit chief executive officer David Michaux.

Michaux said the partnership announcement was timely as Scanit would be setting up operations in Kuala Lumpur by year end.

MSC Malaysia-status Ascendsys meanwhile recently opened an office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and is also in process of building full-fledged security operations centre to provide security monitoring services.

Ascendsys chairman Mohd Noor Amin said the tie-up with Scanit would offer its customers a complete portfolio of security services, ranging from training to promote security awareness to complete security management.
