Malta and Cyprus.

MALTA AND CYPRUS, 22.09.26 – Aegis Trace, the AI decision traceability platform developed by MSDK Labs, have entered into a partnership with Malta-based technology company Zentra to bring AI decision traceability to financial services firms and other regulated organisations in Malta and Cyprus. The agreement marks Aegis Trace’s formal entry into both markets and advances its expansion across key European Union jurisdictions.

The partnership combines Aegis Trace’s ability to create verifiable evidence of individual AI-supported decisions with Zentra’s local market knowledge and established relationships across financial services and other regulated sectors in Malta and Cyprus. Zentra will lead local commercial engagement, helping organisations identify where decision traceability can support their use of AI.

Why it matters

As AI becomes part of day-to-day operations, firms need to understand how it influences decisions affecting customers and the business. When an outcome is questioned, they need a reliable record of the information used, the relevant policies and controls, and any human oversight applied.

Aegis Trace creates verifiable decision records that connect AI-supported outcomes to the relevant regulatory and organisational context. These records help risk and compliance teams investigate decisions, demonstrate how controls were applied, and provide evidence for audit or regulatory review.

Two priority markets

Malta and Cyprus are priority markets for Aegis Trace because of their financial services sectors and international business communities. By establishing a local route to market through Zentra, Aegis Trace aims to support firms as they develop their AI capabilities and build decision traceability into their operations from an early stage.

What the partners say

Malta and Cyprus are important markets in our European expansion. We want to work with regulated organisations as they adopt AI and help them establish the evidence needed to explain how it is being used. Zentra’s relationships and understanding of these markets give us a strong local partner to do that.

Our ambition is to make decision traceability a practical part of AI adoption. This partnership brings us closer to the firms that need it and creates a foundation for long-term growth in both jurisdictions.

Murilo SilvestreCo-Founder and CEO, Aegis Trace

Our relationships across financial services and regulated businesses in Malta and Cyprus give us an understanding of the local context in which firms are adopting new technology. Working with Aegis Trace allows us to bring decision traceability into those conversations and help organisations consider how they will evidence their use of AI.

We look forward to introducing Aegis Trace to businesses across both markets and helping them explore how it can support their governance and operational needs.
