Liverpool-headquartered managed IT and cloud services provider SysGroup plc has secured two three-year cyber resilience contracts valued at more than £1 million and joined Rubrik’s MSP PayGo programme.
The contracts, signed with a UK housing association and an English further education provider, will cover managed data protection, cyber resilience, and data recovery services delivered via Rubrik’s software platform.
Through its participation in the Rubrik MSP PayGo initiative, SysGroup is the first UK and Ireland managed service provider to enter the consumption-based scheme. As a partner, the company gains access to a flexible commercial framework to deliver Rubrik’s data protection features to business clients without requiring upfront capacity commitments.
In an earlier corporate development, SysGroup acquired Edinburgh-based managed IT services provider Trustmarque’s cloud division to expand its data engineering and cyber infrastructure capabilities across the UK public and private sectors. This transaction reflects the group’s ongoing strategy to scale its managed service revenue through targeted sector acquisitions and enterprise security partnerships.
Heejae Chae, executive chairman of SysGroup plc, said: “Becoming the first UK&I MSP to join Rubrik’s PayGo programme is strategically important for SysGroup. It combines Rubrik’s market-leading cyber resilience platform with our ability to advise, implement and manage complex customer environments. The result is a differentiated proposition: enterprise-grade data protection and ransomware resilience delivered as a flexible managed service, without requiring customers to take on the cost, complexity or capacity commitments normally associated with enterprise technology.
“These two three-year agreements, across the social housing and further education sectors, demonstrate that this is not simply a technology partnership. It is already translating into customer demand, recurring revenue and a stronger competitive position for SysGroup.”
David Kosman, area vice president, global MSP sales, Rubrik, added: “We are delighted to welcome SysGroup as the first UK&I MSP to join the Rubrik MSP PayGo programme. SysGroup combines strong customer relationships, managed service capability and cyber security expertise, making it an excellent partner to extend Rubrik’s cyber resilience capabilities to more organisations. Together, we will help customers strengthen their data security, improve ransomware preparedness and access cyber resilience through a flexible, consumption-based managed service.”
