Hicomply, a leading provider of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) software, has announced its partnership with CyberNorth, the North East of England’s cyber security cluster.
The collaboration signals a shared commitment to creating a safer, more secure digital landscape through the power of collaboration and connection within the CyberNorth network.
CyberNorth is the cybersecurity cluster for North East England, encompassing the North East Combined Authority (NECA) and Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA). Recognised by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and the National Cyber Security Centre, CyberNorth plays a vital role in building and promoting a thriving cybersecurity community in the region and contributes to the UK’s national cyber strategy through its partnership with UKC3.
Founded in 2019, Hicomply provides cutting-edge ISMS software, empowering organisations to automate and streamline the process of achieving and maintaining compliance with global standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and NHS DSPT. Hicomply’s mission is to make globally recognised security certifications accessible for all, ensuring no business is excluded from any market or geography due to unsecured data.
Ed Bartlett, CEO of Hicomply: “Being part of the CyberNorth community provides us with access to a vibrant network of cybersecurity experts and opportunities that align with our mission to create a secure, globally connected business ecosystem. At Hicomply, we believe no business should be excluded from markets due to unsecure data. Through CyberNorth’s regional, national, and global reach, we are even closer to making this vision a reality. We’ve already benefited from this partnership, not just from the collective knowledge within the community but also through new business connections, including partnerships with HTG, Net Defence, and Waterstons.”
CyberNorth’s focus on skills, innovation, and ecosystem development aims to ensure the North East is a national and international leader in cybersecurity.
Danielle Phillips, CyberNorth CEO said: “We are excited to welcome Hicomply as a partner to our growing cyber security network. Hicomply brings something truly unique to the market, and their understanding of how to engage and collaborate within a network is exactly what we look for in our partners. They are not passive participants; they actively contribute to the strength of our community, helping us build a safer place to do business and create an inclusive ecosystem where businesses of all sizes can thrive without being hindered by data insecurity.”
