London, UK, 25 September 2012 MISTDLP and Becrypt, specialist supplier of certified cyber security solutions to Government, public sector and industry, have today announced a strategic partnership in the Gulf Commercial Community (GCC). MISTDLP is recognised as a specialist in cyber security and data loss prevention, and will now be reselling Becrypt's full range of cyber security solutions in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Dubai and Oman.

Chris Forgan of MISTDLP said; "Our customers require best-of-breed security tools, solutions that have been CESG approved or won acclaim from independent analysts. Becrypt, with its impressive track record of working with the UK government supplying innovative cyber security solutions that are certified for use at the highest levels, is an ideal partner for MISTDLP for this market."

MISTDLP works with customers throughout the GCC region, analyzing the threat landscape, and providing solutions to mitigate the risk. The company also provides information governance strategy, information security guidance and advice on data protection legislation such as ISO 270001 and PCI-DSS.

Becrypt supplies a range of award winning, innovative cyber security products designed to protect sensitive information throughout the organisation on the desktop, at the end point and when in transit or being shared with trusted third parties. Becrypt DISK Protect Foundation was the first product to be certified under CESG Commercial Product Assurance (CPA) scheme, and is suitable for protecting data up to Impact Level 3 (RESTRICTED) for public sector organisations and commercially sensitive data in the private sector. DISK Protect Foundation generates its own key material making it suitable for use in overseas markets where CESG key material would not normally be made available.

Bernard Parsons, CEO of Becrypt said; "As Becrypt looks to expand into new regions our strategic partners have a key part to play. We are delighted to be working with MISTDLP who are market leaders in the GCC region. The UK government pedigree of our data assurance products means that they are highly sought, and MISTDLP are able to leverage their resources in the area, to ensure successful implementations."
