Worldwide, compliance is becoming more complex.

More frameworks. More customer expectations. More pressure to demonstrate governance, security and trust.

As new requirements and legislation emerge, we're proudly further expanding Hicomply's EMEA reach in partnership with QBS Software, one of the region's leading value-added distributor.

The partnership will introduce Hicomply's whole-business ISMS to more organisations across the region through QBS's extensive reseller network, enabling more businesses to build structured, audit-ready compliance programmes that grow with them.

Expanding our reach across EMEA

Businesses today rarely manage a single compliance programme as they respond to growing requirements around governance and assurance. As many make the operational shift towards a continuous approach that scales alongside their growth ambitions, disconnected tools and manual processes quickly become outdated.

Collaborating with QBS allows Hicomply to bring this approach to more partners and customers across EMEA, supported by a distributor with deep regional expertise and an established reseller community.

Simon Noble, SVP of Global Channel at Hicomply, said:

"This is an important moment for Hicomply and a big step forward in how we scale through the channel.

What we are hearing from organisations across EMEA is that they need to prove they are secure and do so without adding more pressure to already stretched teams.

Working with QBS means we can put that capability in front of more partners and customers across the region. It gives us a stronger route to market, while giving resellers a clear way to support customers who are under growing pressure to demonstrate compliance, governance and trust."

Why QBS?

As one of the largest software distributors operating across EMEA, QBS combines established reseller relationships with local market knowledge to help vendors scale into new regions.

For Hicomply, that means reaching more organisations looking for a smarter way to manage compliance across the whole business, not just the technology stack.

Jordan Travers, Group Head of Security at QBS Software, said:

"Hicomply gives us a strong proposition to bring to the table as we continue expanding our footprint across EMEA. Our resellers are increasingly looking for vendors who can scale with them into new markets, and Hicomply's growth trajectory — including its recent move into North America — makes it a great fit for that ambition.

What we bring to this partnership is the reach: established relationships with resellers across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the regional market knowledge to help Hicomply land in the right markets with the right partners. We're looking forward to opening up new opportunities for our channel and helping Hicomply scale internationally through QBS."

Supporting the future of compliance

This partnership builds on a period of strong international growth for Hicomply, following our expansion into North America and a growing network of strategic partnerships across EMEA.

Even as compliance continues to evolve, our focus remains the same: empowering organisations to unlock market access, success and growth through the power of whole-business assurance.

Together with QBS, we look forward to bringing that approach to even more businesses across the EMEA region.
