QUANTUM SECURE ENCRYPTION PARTNERS WITH MAJOR MALAYSIAN DIGITAL CERTIFICATION AUTHORITY TO DEVELOP ACT 854 COMPLIANCE READINESS PLATFORM

Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. has signed a memorandum of agreement with a Malaysia-based digital certification authority to develop a Malaysia-specific version of QSE's quantum preparedness assessment platform.

The QPA version being developed for Malaysia is intended to help National Critical Information Infrastructure organizations assess their readiness under Malaysia's Cyber Security Act 2024, Act 854. The solution is expected to help organizations identify compliance gaps, document risk assessments, track corrective actions, manage audit evidence and maintain cybersecurity governance records.

Under the MOA, QSE and the Malaysian partner intend to host the solution within Malaysian sovereign infrastructure, with data residency in Malaysia. The parties expect the QPA platform to be deployed on premises in the partner's Malaysian data centre, supporting local control of customer data and alignment with Malaysian regulatory requirements.

QSE believes the MOA provides an important regional channel for QPA and positions the platform within a trusted digital certification ecosystem serving Malaysian enterprises, government-linked organizations and regulated sectors.

"Act 854 creates a clear need for Malaysian organizations to understand their cybersecurity posture, document their risks and show progress against compliance requirements," said Ted Carefoot, chief executive officer of QSE. "Through this MOA, we are adapting QPA for the Malaysian market and aligning it with a trusted local infrastructure and certification environment."

QPA is designed to give organizations a practical view of their cybersecurity and cryptographic readiness. The platform helps customers assess exposure, prioritize remediation and create a clear road map for improving resilience. In Malaysia, QSE expects the localized version of QPA to support Act 854 readiness, certification reviews, regulatory reporting and continuing compliance monitoring.

"This MOA supports our partner-led growth strategy," added Mr. Carefoot. "Our goal is to place QSE technology inside trusted regional ecosystems where customers already look for identity, security and certification support. Malaysia represents an important market for cybersecurity readiness, and the sovereign hosting model supports the data residency requirements that are critical for public sector and regulated customers."

The MOA also supports QSE's broader international expansion strategy across Southeast Asia, where governments and enterprises are increasing investment in cybersecurity readiness, data protection and postquantum migration planning.
