We Have Partnered with A-LIGN to Expand Compliance Support Across EMEA

As organisations across EMEA face increasing regulatory pressure, growing cyber risk, and more complex compliance requirements, the need for structured, scalable compliance programmes has never been greater.

That’s why Hicomply has partnered with global cybersecurity audit and compliance firm A-LIGN to expand compliance support across EMEA, helping organisations move from reactive compliance to structured, audit-ready programmes that support long-term resilience.

The partnership brings together Hicomply’s compliance automation platform with A-LIGN’s global audit and certification expertise, supporting organisations working towards frameworks such as ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and SOC 2. Together, the two organisations will help businesses build stronger security and compliance programmes that scale as they grow.

A shared vision

At the heart of the partnership is a shared belief that compliance should not be a last-minute audit exercise, but a structured, ongoing programme that supports security, governance, and business growth. Across EMEA, organisations are facing a wave of new regulations and frameworks, including AI governance requirements, cyber resilience legislation, and increased supply chain assurance expectations. This is changing how organisations approach compliance, moving from isolated certifications to continuous, evidence-based compliance programmes. 

By working together, we provide organisations with both the technology and audit expertise needed to build, maintain, and demonstrate compliance across multiple frameworks and regions.

Why it works

The partnership works because it brings together two complementary parts of the compliance journey.

Hicomply provides the platform organisations use to manage policies, risks, controls, audits, and evidence in one place, helping teams build structured, audit-ready compliance programmes across frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR. 

A-LIGN provides the audit and certification services organisations need to achieve and maintain compliance certifications, with expertise across international frameworks and regulations and a growing presence across EMEA to support multinational organisations. 

Together, this creates a more streamlined path to certification and ongoing compliance, helping organisations:

• Build structured compliance programmes 
• Prepare for audits more efficiently 
• Maintain continuous compliance 
• Demonstrate security and governance to customers and regulators 
• Scale compliance across multiple frameworks and regions 

Rather than treating audits as isolated projects, organisations can build compliance programmes that are structured, repeatable, and scalable.

Looking ahead

As regulatory expectations continue to evolve across EMEA, organisations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate security, governance and compliance maturity. Compliance is now about building trust, resilience, and operational maturity.

By combining compliance automation with global audit expertise, this partnership will help organisations build compliance programmes that support long-term growth, international expansion, and stronger security posture.
