Flotek Strengthens Cloud Infrastructure Capabilities with Acquisition of Microshade
Flotek Group, a Cardiff-based managed IT and communications service provider, has acquired Microshade Business Consultants Limited. Established in 1984, Microshade provides secure IT solutions for over 286 parish councils across the UK and holds ISO 27001:2022 certification. Microshade operates its Cloud Remote Desktop Service at the Southwest Data Centre in Plymouth, where Flotek already maintains a regional office. This acquisition will allow Flotek to provide local IT support and cybersecurity services to parish councils across the country. Additionally, Flotek has been collaborating with Microshade to develop its own Private Application Hosting service, helping businesses move traditional on-premises software, such as accounting software like Sage, Iris, and Pegasus, to a private cloud environment, thereby eliminating the need for on-site servers. This acquisition comes in response to growing demand from customers for Flotek to offer private application hosting. Flotek's initial acquisition was Gower Business Systems, a Pegasus reseller. Jay Ball, CEO of Flotek Group, commented: 'We've had the pleasure of working with the Microshade team for over three years, collaborating on various projects. During the acquisition process, Stuart Wilbur, the founder, sadly passed away. Stuart's vision was to bring advanced technology to the parish council sector, a vision we wholeheartedly share and are committed to continuing. We see tremendous growth potential in hosting our customers' existing server-based applications in our private data centre technology. This complements our existing Microsoft Azure technology offering, as both solutions have their unique advantages in the market.' David Astwood, who will take the position of Head of Infrastructure, added: 'We've worked with the Flotek team for a number of years on joint projects and have enjoyed collaborating on a private cloud offering. We look forward to focusing on growth across the parish councils.' The Microshade team will form the new Cloud Infrastructure team at Flotek, continuing to deliver specialist cloud technology utilising existing data centre relationships and security positions. Microshade, a Microsoft Cloud Partner, will be fully integrated into Flotek over the next 12 months. The acquisition was advised on by Siobhan Williams, senior associate solicitor at Darwin Gray. Siobhan said: 'We are delighted to once again be advising Flotek on another exciting acquisition. It's always a pleasure working with Jay and the team at Flotek.' Flotek sees significant opportunities in the parish council sector, where they already have a substantial share, and aims to drive innovation into other vertical sectors such as accounting and legal. Microshade, based in Plymouth, provides secure IT services, including cybersecurity, to national clients.

Kingdom's Payments Core Clears Global Audit
TDT | Manama Bahrain's national payments backbone has passed a sweeping international audit with zero flaws, reinforcing its cyber resilience and operational continuity amid rising regional digital risks. BENEFIT, which powers the Kingdom's real-time transfers, debit card switching, and digital payment infrastructure, has secured recertification for two globally recognised standards: ISO 27001:2022 for information security and ISO 22301:2019 for business continuity. The company cleared both audits without a single non-conformity. Vital Infrastructure This clean result carries weight beyond corporate performance. As the operator behind essential services like Fawri+, Fawri, Fawateer, and network ATM services, BENEFIT forms the digital core of Bahrain's financial system. Any failure in its systems would cascade across banks, retailers, consumers, and government agencies. The recertification confirms BENEFIT's alignment with the newest and most stringent ISO protocols. ISO 27001:2022 in particular demands higher levels of leadership accountability, risk-based thinking, and integration of security governance across operations. These are requirements not all fintechs have successfully met. Leadership Speaks Badran Bukamal, Head of Risk Management and Information Security at BENEFIT, called the audit result a milestone built on years of dedication. 'This accomplishment represents the culmination of years of dedication and hard work by our team, who have once again demonstrated their ability to meet and exceed the highest international standards in cybersecurity and operational sustainability.' He added that BENEFIT is committed to remaining ahead of emerging threats and maintaining uninterrupted services for its partners and clients. 'These accreditations reflect our vision to position BENEFIT as a secure and dependable fintech provider, trusted by both customers and partners.' Setting the Benchmark As Gulf nations accelerate their shift toward digital finance, Bahrain's example offers a model of readiness. With rising pressure on financial infrastructure operators to prove resilience, BENEFIT's flawless audit result gives the Kingdom a reputation edge in cybersecurity and business continuity. The company said it would continue investing in future-proof systems to meet growing demands and protect against disruptions, reinforcing the stability of Bahrain's financial ecosystem.

BENEFIT's compliance with the updated versions of both ISO certifications further reflects the integrated and comprehensive security standards it has embedded across all departments and processes, enhancing the trust and confidence of its clients, partners, and stakeholders in its ability to protect sensitive financial data and sustain service delivery. Mr. Badran Bukamal, Head, Risk Management & Information Security at BENEFIT, stated: 'We are proud to have received the re-accreditation of ISO certifications in both Information Security Management System and Business Continuity Management Systems. This accomplishment represents the culmination of years of dedication and hard work by our team, who have once again demonstrated their ability to meet and exceed the highest international standards in cybersecurity and operational sustainability. At BENEFIT, such achievements serve as a catalyst to reinforce our dedication to safeguarding customer data and ensuring the uninterrupted continuity of our operations.'

They also highlight the important stage of growth the company has achieved, along with our continued investment in business continuity and resilience planning—ensuring that our clients, suppliers, and partners are equipped to navigate unforeseen challenges. In parallel, we remain focused on advancing our information security management capabilities and proactively addressing the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats.'
