Assured Data Protection Collaborates with I-TRACING for Comprehensive Cyber Resilience Solutions
HERNDON, Va. and LEEDS, United Kingdom, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Assured Data Protection (Assured), a leading IT managed services provider specializing in cloud data protection, has announced its entry into France, aiming to deliver enterprise-grade cyber recovery solutions tailored for mid-market and large businesses.
To kick off operations, Assured has partnered with I-TRACING, a top-tier managed cybersecurity service provider based in France. This collaboration is focused on fulfilling essential needs for high-profile clients. I-TRACING differentiates itself through its integrated security operations center (SOC), offering round-the-clock protection for complex environments utilizing a global ‘follow-the-sun’ model. Through this partnership, I-TRACING will provide Rubrik’s data protection platform as a managed service via Assured’s data replication infrastructure.
The new partnership significantly strengthens the offerings available to mid-market and enterprise-level organizations in France, covering sectors such as manufacturing, retail, and luxury brands. Clients can expect 24/7/365 backup and disaster recovery support in French. To lead the operations in this region, Assured has appointed Erwan Jouan as France Country Manager. Jouan brings substantial expertise in cybersecurity and will operate from Paris.
Rob Mackle, EVP of EMEA & APJ at Assured, stated: “Entering France marks a significant advancement for Assured’s footprint in Europe. The French market is eager for local managed services, acknowledging the advantages companies like ours offer. We’re thrilled to expand our team in France and collaborate with a premier cybersecurity expert like I-TRACING to deliver innovative disaster recovery solutions to every French business that requires them.”
Théodore Michel Vrangos, Co-Founder and CEO of I-TRACING, remarked, “Our partnership with Assured in France is an excellent alignment for both parties. Customers demand secure, immutable backup and recovery solutions, but many options have been financially and operationally prohibitive. Collaborating with Assured allows us to provide top-tier data protection through Rubrik at a manageable cost.”
Following a significant capital investment obtained in 2024 through Oakley Capital, Assured is pursuing broad global expansion beyond the UK, encompassing regions such as North America, Latin America, the Middle-East, North Africa, and Australasia. Assured targets businesses of all sizes to help them protect and restore critical operations and data against outages, natural disasters, ransomware, and other cyber threats. Clients gain complete managed Rubrik services ranging from design and implementation to ongoing support and recovery.
Ghazal Asif, VP of Global Channels & Alliances at Rubrik, commented, “Assured is a trusted partner, and we’re excited to see their service expansion into France. As cyber threats continue to rise, French businesses can now achieve true cyber resilience through Assured’s comprehensive managed Rubrik service.”
