Assured Data Protection Expands to France with New MSP Service Launch
Assured Data Protection Launches MSP Service in France
Assured Data Protection, a leading IT managed services provider specializing in cloud data protection, has officially expanded its services to France. This strategic move brings robust enterprise-level cyber recovery solutions to mid-sized and larger businesses within the region. The announcement was made on June 2, 2025, marking a significant growth step for Assured in the European market.
To facilitate this expansion, Assured has entered into a collaboration with I-TRACING, a prominent managed cybersecurity services provider in France. This partnership aims to address the critical cybersecurity needs presented by their clients, especially those in high-demand sectors such as manufacturing and luxury retail.
Unique Offerings of the Partnership
The collaboration aligns the strengths of both companies, with I-TRACING offering its unique security operations center (SOC). This SOC provides round-the-clock monitoring and protection for complex IT environments. The integration of Assured's second site data replication infrastructure enables I-TRACING to deliver Rubrik's esteemed data protection platform as part of a comprehensive managed service offering.
Erwan Jouan has been appointed as the France Country Manager for Assured, bringing a wealth of experience in cybersecurity to spearhead operations in the region. His expertise will ensure that the company's operations are adapted to the unique characteristics of the French market.
A Focus on Localized Support
One of the standout features of this launch is the guaranteed 24/7 availability of French-language backup and disaster recovery (DR) support. This commitment is crucial for enabling seamless operations for French businesses requiring dependable data protection services. Rob Mackle, EVP EMEA APJ at Assured, emphasized the importance of this venture, stating, "The French market is very receptive to in-country managed service solutions and recognizes the value that we offer."
As cyber threats continue to escalate globally, businesses are increasingly seeking proactive measures to safeguard their data. This announcement comes at a time when many organizations require enhanced backup and recovery capabilities that are both effective and cost-efficient. Théodore Michel Vrangos, Co-founder and CEO of I-TRACING, expressed that customers were previously limited by financial constraints and complexity, stating, "Partnering with Assured allows us to deliver the gold standard in data protection at attainable prices for our clients."
A Global Perspective
The launch in France is part of a broader global strategy that Assured initiated after securing new capital from Oakley Capital in 2024. The company is not only expanding within Europe but also looking at opportunities in North America, Latin America, the Middle East, North Africa, and Australasia. Assured aims to deliver robust managed services that ensure businesses can protect and recover their essential data in the event of unforeseen disruptions, whether they be natural disasters, technical outages, or sophisticated cyberattacks.
Through its partnership with Rubrik, clients will receive a comprehensive managed Rubrik service, covering the entire gamut from design and implementation to recovery, accompanied by ongoing proactive support. As cyber risk continues to be a persistent threat for organizations of all sizes, the introduction of Assured's services comes at an opportune time to enhance cyber resilience in France.
Conclusion
Assured Data Protection's entry into the French market heralds a new era for data security solutions within the region, empowering businesses to leverage advanced technology and dedicated support to protect their critical data assets effectively.
