Under the partnership, BIO-key and Al Majlis Group will work together to bring BIO-key’s identity security platform to government and private sector organizations across the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The collaboration pairs Al Majlis Group’s advisory expertise and regional standing with BIO-key’s biometric authentication and IAM technology. The first phase will focus on a joint approach to a select group of priority organizations in the region.

The partnership leverages Al Majlis Group’s established role in strategic advisory, public affairs and government relations across the Gulf and builds on BIO-key’s existing distribution channels to introduce its identity-first approach to organizations where trust and security are paramount.

“We are pleased to partner with BIO-key, a company with more than three decades of experience in securing digital identity. We look forward to helping organizations in the region benefit from technology of this caliber,” said H.E. Dherar Belhoul Al Falasi, Chairman, CEO and Co-Founder of Al Majlis Group.

“Al Majlis Group brings a depth of regional understanding and trusted relationships that few firms in the Gulf can match. Together, we can help government and enterprise organizations in the UAE and Saudi Arabia move toward authentication that is tied to the individual, deployable on premises or in the cloud, and built for highly regulated environments,” said Nicholas Prinz, Regional Director of Middle East & Africa, BIO-key International.

“Identity has become one of the most critical foundations of cybersecurity. As governments and organizations across the Gulf region accelerate their digital transformation, protecting who can access systems, applications and sensitive information is becoming as important as protecting the infrastructure itself, “added Alex Rocha, Managing Director BIO-key International.

“Our partnership with Al Majlis Group strengthens BIO-key’s ability to support this strategy across key markets including Saudi Arabia and the UAE. These markets are investing heavily in digital government, critical infrastructure and connected services, creating an increasing need for trusted, resilient and locally relevant identity security.

“By combining Al Majlis Group’s regional expertise and relationships with BIO-key’s biometric-centric IAM technology, we can help organizations move beyond traditional passwords and vulnerable authentication methods toward identity-bound, phishing-resistant authentication that can be deployed across cloud and on-premises environments. This is not simply authentication; we are establishing trusted digital identity as a fundamental layer of cybersecurity and digital resilience across the region,” Mr. Rocha concluded.
