Hicomply x Net-Defence: Compliance Meets Resilience

After crossing paths at the Cyber North Awards in October 2024, where both of our teams were proudly shortlisted, we struck up a conversation with Net-Defence, a leader in cyber resilience and managed IT services.

Our conversation quickly uncovered a real synergy between our businesses. We discovered shared values, complementary services, and a mutual drive to support organisations on their compliance and cyber journeys. This has since grown into a partnership built on aligned thinking, shared values, and a drive to do things differently.

A shared vision

Net-Defence was looking for a smarter, more efficient way to manage their compliance needs and protect their certifications. They chose to adopt the Hicomply platform internally, becoming both a user and a strategic partner.

“As a business that’s going to market and potentially giving it to their customers, I don’t think you can get a better review than ‘we have it, we use it, we love it!’”Debra Cairns - Managing Director, Net-Defence

This partnership creates new opportunities for both teams to deliver more value to customers, without overlapping services or markets. While Hicomply focuses on compliance software, Net-Defence leads in service-driven cyber resilience. Together, we bring end-to-end support to businesses that want to stay secure, compliant and prepared.

Why it works

This isn’t a typical tech partnership. It works because we bring different things to the table:

1. Different strengths, shared purpose - we deliver different but complementary services. Hicomply specialises in compliance software, while Net-Defence delivers cyber resilience and IT services.

2. No market overlap - we serve different industries and sectors, which gives us both room to grow.

3. Innovation-first mindset -  we’re both looking to evolve our offerings and shake up the market by delivering real value in smarter, more human ways.

“I think the bit that massively overlaps is our passion for service and our passion for giving customers exactly what they need. No oversell, no jargon - just straightforward. This will help you be resilient, compliant, safe, secure, and protected.”
Debra Cairns - Managing Director, Net-Defence

Looking ahead

As more businesses look to simplify their security and compliance processes, partnerships like this one make it easier to access integrated, trusted support. From startups to large enterprises, our combined expertise helps organisations build resilience, stay certified, and reduce risk, with fewer stops along the way.

We’re proud to be working with Net-Defence and look forward to seeing where this partnership takes us.
