KUALA LUMPUR – TM One, TM’s enterprise and government sector solutions arm, has signed a strategic Collaboration Agreement with SIRIM Academy, a subsidiary of SIRIM Berhad, to advance Malaysia’s capabilities in information security, artificial intelligence (AI) governance, and workforce certification.

The partnership combines TM One’s expertise in cybersecurity and managed services with SIRIM Academy’s recognised strengths in training, consultancy, standards development and personnel certification. Together, the two organisations will support enterprises and government agencies in closing compliance gaps, adopting global best practices, and building resilience in the digital economy.

The collaboration focuses on certification and workforce readiness, supporting organisations to comply with Information Security Management Systems (ISMS, ISO/IEC 27001) and the newly introduced AI Management System (ISO/IEC 42001:2023). TM One will provide operational security capabilities for monitoring and incident response, while SIRIM Academy will deliver professional certification programmes aligning with standards requirements and national frameworks.

To ensure compliance, organisations can further leverage TM One’s Managed Security Services including its Security Operations Centre (SOC), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Managed Detection and Response (MDR), and Threat Intelligence, which offers continuous protection. The agreement also facilitates joint go-to-market opportunities, with TM One or SIRIM Academy leading client engagements as needed.

The collaboration was formally made through an exchange of documents between Shanti Jusnita Johari, TM One’s Executive Vice President, and Dr. Mohd Bakri bin Jali, SIRIM Academy’s Chief Executive Officer (Covering), symbolising the start of a shared commitment to advance Malaysia’s digital trust and governance.

Shanti Jusnita Johari said, “This partnership with SIRIM Academy reaffirms TM One’s position as a trusted digital enabler for enterprises and government. By embedding training, consultation and certification into our secure digital infrastructure, we ensure compliance is not only achieved on paper but sustained in practice. Together, we are building the human talent and governance frameworks needed for Malaysia to thrive as an advanced digital nation.”

Echoing this, Dr. Mohd Bakri bin Jali also highlighted SIRIM Academy’s commitment, “As the training, consultancy and standards development arm of SIRIM Berhad, SIRIM Academy is committed to raising Malaysia’s industry standards and certification readiness. Partnering with TM One allows us to integrate our expertise in standards implementation with their operational capabilities, enabling organisations to adopt ISMS, AI governance and digital trust practices more effectively. This synergy enhances Malaysia’s competitiveness in the digital economy.”

The partnership is the latest milestone in TM’s aspiration to become a Digital Powerhouse by 2030, ensuring enterprises and government agencies are equipped with secure, compliant and future-ready digital solutions.

As Malaysia accelerates its digital transformation, this partnership underscores TM One’s commitment to strengthening national digital resilience through trusted, standards-driven security and governance frameworks.
