We're thrilled to announce that DataHubz has become a Cisco Partner, marking a significant milestone in our mission to deliver truly comprehensive compliance solutions for organizations of all sizes.
This strategic partnership combines DataHubz's AI-powered compliance automation platform with Cisco's world-class networking, security, and collaboration technologies, creating an integrated ecosystem that addresses the full spectrum of compliance requirements, from policy automation to technical infrastructure.
Why This Partnership Matters
Modern compliance extends far beyond policy documentation and audit checklists. Organizations increasingly recognize that sustainable compliance requires robust technical foundations: secure network architectures, properly configured access controls, resilient infrastructure, and integrated security solutions.
Becoming a Cisco Partner represents more than access to technology. It signifies alignment with a global leader whose infrastructure underpins some of the world's most secure and compliant organizations. For DataHubz clients, this partnership translates to:
- Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure Guidance: Leverage Cisco's proven networking and security architectures as part of your compliance strategy
- Integrated Solution Pathways: Seamlessly connect compliance automation with infrastructure modernization initiatives
- Enhanced Advisory Capabilities: Benefit from our team's deepened expertise in how network design and security architecture impact regulatory outcomes
- Special Partnership Conditions: Access favorable terms when building the technical foundation your compliance program requires
The Cisco Advantage
Cisco's global leadership in networking and security is unmatched. Their technologies protect critical infrastructure across industries, from healthcare to finance to government. This partnership strengthens DataHubz's ability to serve clients across multiple dimensions:
Unified Compliance Strategy
Organizations no longer need to treat compliance automation and infrastructure security as separate initiatives. DataHubz now provides coordinated guidance spanning AI-powered policy management, evidence automation, network security architecture, access control implementation, and collaboration infrastructure, all aligned to your specific regulatory requirements.
Deepened Technical Expertise
Through Cisco's comprehensive training and enablement programs, our team gains enhanced capabilities in network security architecture, zero-trust implementations, secure collaboration frameworks, and infrastructure resilience. This translates to more sophisticated guidance for clients implementing frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, and HIPAA.
Streamlined Technology Decisions
When building the technical foundation for compliance, organizations face countless vendor and architecture choices. As a Cisco Partner, DataHubz can provide informed recommendations backed by proven enterprise deployments, reducing decision complexity and accelerating implementation timelines.
Economic Advantages
Partnership conditions and coordinated engagement models create opportunities for more efficient procurement, potentially reducing the total cost of building and maintaining compliant infrastructure while ensuring enterprise-grade quality.
Real-World Impact: Compliance Meets Infrastructure
Consider an organization pursuing SOC 2 Type II certification. The framework requires demonstrating:
- Secure system boundaries: Network segmentation and firewall architecture
- Strong access controls: Identity management and multi-factor authentication
- Data protection: Encryption in transit and at rest
- Monitoring and incident response: Security information and event management
- Business continuity: Resilient network and collaboration infrastructure
Each of these requirements spans both procedural controls (which DataHubz's platform automates) and technical implementation (where Cisco's technologies provide proven, auditor-recognized solutions).
Previously, organizations assembled these pieces separately, working with DataHubz for compliance automation while independently evaluating infrastructure vendors. Now, clients benefit from integrated guidance that treats compliance holistically, reducing gaps, accelerating timelines, and improving audit outcomes.
Our Commitment to Excellence
Cisco welcomes new partners with a commitment to "accelerating your journey" through access to "critical training, sales, and enablement resources." We're dedicated to maximizing these capabilities for our clients' benefit.
Our roadmap includes:
- Completing advanced Cisco training in network security, zero-trust architecture, and secure collaboration to ensure our advisors understand how infrastructure decisions impact compliance outcomes
- Developing integrated methodologies that simultaneously address regulatory requirements and technical architecture
- Creating client-focused resources that demystify the intersection of compliance frameworks and infrastructure choices
- Building co-engagement models that streamline access to both compliance automation and enterprise infrastructure solutions
This isn't just about adding a logo to our website—it's about fundamentally enhancing how we serve clients throughout their compliance journeys.
What This Means for DataHubz Clients

A Shared Vision
Both DataHubz and Cisco recognize that technology should empower organizations to operate securely and confidently, not create barriers to growth. This partnership embodies that philosophy by making enterprise-grade compliance and infrastructure capabilities accessible to organizations at any stage of maturity.
"Becoming a Cisco Partner represents a significant milestone for DataHubz," said David William Silva, PhD, CEO of DataHubz. "Cisco's technologies form the backbone of secure enterprise infrastructure globally. Aligning with them strengthens our ability to guide clients toward compliance solutions built on proven, auditor-recognized technical foundations, ultimately accelerating certification timelines and improving security outcomes."
Looking Ahead
This partnership opens new possibilities for how organizations approach compliance:
- Joint educational initiatives helping clients understand how infrastructure choices impact regulatory outcomes
- Integrated assessment frameworks evaluating both procedural readiness and technical architecture maturity
- Coordinated implementation pathways addressing compliance automation and infrastructure modernization as unified initiatives
- Expanded advisory capabilities leveraging both DataHubz's compliance expertise and Cisco's technical leadership
We're excited to execute on these opportunities in service of our clients' success.
