Martin Crossland appointed new Head of Partnerships at Hicomply

Having worked in the cybersecurity industry for more than 15 years, Martin not only brings extensive sales and account management expertise into the business but also first-hand knowledge of the challenges faced by modern cyber consultancies as they steer clients towards compliance and certification.

Previous roles have seen Martin working for the likes of forensics and breach management specialists, 3B Data Security, and cyber security consultancy, Security Risk Management (an existing Hicomply partner). Within these companies he worked across a broad range of sectors and industries – from FinTech to retail and hospitality, charities to HM Government departments. Having developed a strong network within the cybersecurity community, Martin is perfectly positioned to drive the Partnerships division of the business forward, working closely with our sales and Customer Success team.

An accredited ISO9001:2008 Internal Quality Manager, Martin retains a licence to perform QMS audits.

Speaking on his new appointment, Martin says,

“I’m delighted to be appointed as Head of Partnerships for Hicomply at what is an incredibly exciting time for the business. I firmly believe that we have the leading compliance solution on the market and I’m keen to grow and strengthen our partner network over the coming months and years.

“Hicomply has formed some highly successful partnerships over the last couple of years. And I know there’s great potential for future growth as we expand our offering and continue to showcase the speed, agility and quality of our ISMS platform.

“From security service providers to certification bodies, introducers to resellers, I’m looking forward to sharing the many benefits of Hicomply’s growing suite of solutions.”

Hicomply CEO, Ed Bartlett, comments,

“Martin brings both a broad understanding of the security landscape and a detailed knowledge of the compliance space to his role – all of which will be essential in nurturing relationships with those organisations that service businesses working towards certifications and accreditations in the security, quality and environmental space.”

Hicomply’s partner network already includes the likes of global quality assurance business, Intertek, national auditing bodies and independent cybersecurity consultancies. As the demand for certifications such as ISO 27001 grows, forward-thinking partners will be able to use Hicomply to accelerate their customers’ journey to certification whilst saving costs in the process.

Hicomply’s ISMS minimises implementation costs and timescales, utilising automations and tools that reduce the potential for human error. Hicomply’s 100% pass rate for customer audits speaks for itself.
