A LIGN enters Australian cybersecurity market through AssurePoint acquisition
Compliance provider A LIGN acquired Australian cybersecurity firm AssurePoint to expand its Information Security Registered Assessors Program capabilities and consolidate global audit services for enterprise clients
Tampa, Florida - Cybersecurity compliance firm A-LIGN has expanded its services by acquiring AssurePoint, an Australian-based cloud security assessment company. AssurePoint specializes in helping organizations address complex security and compliance challenges and achieve compliance with the Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP).
This acquisition marks A-LIGN's formal entry into the Australian market as its global expansion continues. IRAP is a mandatory assessment for cloud service providers and a crucial requirement for companies pursuing government and municipal contracts in Australia, one of the most strictly regulated markets in the Asia-Pacific region.
As A-LIGN's customers increasingly expand into Australia, demand for IRAP has surged, prompting A-LIGN's CEO, Scott Price, to state that the acquisition will allow the company to provide comprehensive support for clients navigating the IRAP framework alongside their existing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits. This acquisition is A-LIGN's second this month, following the acquisition of Pathfynder, an offensive security firm specializing in advanced penetration testing services.
A-LIGN's recent opening of a new office in London further supports its strategy of broadening its portfolio to cater to the evolving needs of its diverse customer base.
