Cryptzone enters new market with the acquisition of NETconsent


Gothenburg, 30th of November 2010

Cryptzone Group today announced the acquisition of UK based NETconsent, a
leading provider of policy management software. This acquisition marks Cryptzone
Group's entry into a new sector of the IT Security market and is a further step
in its strategy and commitment to delivering best-of-breed data protection
solutions to corporate and commercial customers.

Cryptzone has seen a growing demand from customers for an efficient approach to
policy management, which addresses the human factors in information security.
Organizations are recognizing that technical controls alone do not provide a
complete security model. NETconsent is the developer and vendor of a proven
policy management solution. With more than 180,000 NETconsent licenses sold to
customers within both the public and private sectors, including many National
Health Service trusts, Arsenal Football Club and Virgin Media, NETconsent leads
the UK market for policy management software. 15% of Local Authorities in the
United Kingdom have chosen NETconsent. This practical system instills user
awareness and a greater understanding of the security policies and technical
controls in place, which leads people to modify their behavior and attitude
towards data security. NETconsent complements Cryptzone Group's product
portfolio to provide businesses worldwide with the optimal solution to meet all
their security needs.

"NETconsent adds an extremely important building block to Cryptzone Group's
security platform and is an essential part of our planned expansion strategy. We
are very excited to welcome them into the Group." says Cryptzone Group CEO,
Peter Davin "An increasing number of organizations are turning to automated
policy management software to raise standards of policy compliance. We have
looked extensively for the best technologies that will allow us to expand our
current product offerings and to provide the best service we can to our existing
and new customers. We were impressed by the high quality and innovative
technology that NETconsent provides and immediately saw the benefit of joining
forces."

NETconsent's unique Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) technologies enable
organizations to present people with policies and associated documentation at
the point of use; when they most need reminding of their responsibilities. There
are obvious integration opportunities with Cryptzone Group's existing security
products to provide comprehensive data protection.

"Becoming part of the Cryptzone Group presents a great opportunity for
NETconsent to become global brand leaders in policy management," said Dominic
Saunders, COO of NETconsent.  "The synergy between Cryptzone Group's existing
portfolio and NETconsent will create a dynamic collaboration with extensive
integration opportunities, which will better address the needs of our customers
and deliver added value to a world-wide partner network. A shared commitment to
quality and outstanding customer service will drive projected sales growth
throughout 2011."

Dominic Saunders brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise accumulated within
the IT security industry since 1990. He joins the Cryptzone Group management
team as SVP Sales NETconsent Business Unit, however will continue to be based at
the NETconsent Headquarters in Fleet, Hampshire, UK. This office will become the
new UK & Ireland Headquarters for the Cryptzone Group.

NETconsent will be officially incorporated into the Cryptzone Group from the
30th of November and immediately start contributing to positive earnings and
cash flow. The acquisition was financed through a cash payment and directed
share issue.
