Security platform Drata enlists Distology as first UK distribution partner

The vendor is driving the continued growth of its channel programme, and its global expansion into EMEA

Security and compliance automation platform Drata has named Distology as its first distribution partner in the UK.

The deal marks the continued growth of Drata's channel programme and global expansion efforts by extending its integrated risk and compliance offerings to Distology's community of IT resellers in the EMEA region.

Compliance has increasingly become an essential part of any organisation—regardless of industry—looking to earn and maintain trust among their customers as global regulations in data protection become increasingly enforced, Drata claims.

The vendor added that its automation-led approach and continuous control monitoring streamlines and simplifies the complexities with compliance standards and regulations such as ISO 27001 and GDPR, enabling companies of all sizes to ensure compliance over time.

The new partnership will also add Drata to Distology's existing suite of cybersecurity solutions to support companies with varying compliance needs, within the EMEA markets.

"We are incredibly pleased to add Drata to our portfolio, especially considering the rate at which they've rapidly expanded their platform," said Hayley Roberts, CEO of Distology.

"This partnership brings a much needed risk and compliance automation offering for channel partners of all kinds and will help even more companies continuously adhere to stringent compliance regulations."

George Bonser, Drata VP of Sales in EMEA, added: "Accelerating our global presence with new partnerships, resources, and EU data hosting is vital for Drata as we continue supporting our customers with scalable compliance programmes customised to their specific needs.

"Working with Distology unlocks new opportunities for us to work with its trusted network of resellers while we bolster our own partner ecosystem."
