DataGuard, a SaaS security and compliance vendor, has signed a new distribution agreement with QBS Software to extend its presence across the UK, Ireland, and the Nordics. The partnership will bring DataGuard’s AI-powered platform to a wider network of resellers and system integrators, helping organizations across Europe strengthen their security posture and navigate evolving compliance frameworks.
This move builds on the momentum of DataGuard’s earlier distribution deal with CIPS Informatica in Italy, which brought its solutions to a wider customer base in Southern Europe. Now, with QBS Software’s extensive reseller network and regional expertise, DataGuard is positioned to support thousands of European businesses navigating frameworks such as ISO 27001, TISAX, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2, and the emerging European AI Act.
QBS Software brings over three decades of channel experience and a presence in 40 countries. Its reach includes more than 4,000 resellers, MSPs, and system integrators that cater to enterprise, cloud, and consumer markets. For DataGuard, this network offers a direct path to new markets and customers that are actively looking to streamline compliance, reduce audit overhead, and strengthen their security posture in response to increasing regulatory scrutiny.
The timing of the partnership is strategic. Directives like NIS2 introduce stricter cybersecurity requirements for essential service providers and critical infrastructure organizations. Even companies outside the EU can be impacted if they serve regulated markets. DataGuard’s platform is designed to support these mandates with features such as guided risk assessments, real-time asset monitoring, integrated vulnerability detection, and continuous cybersecurity awareness training.
By adding DataGuard to its portfolio, QBS Software is equipping its partners with a scalable solution to meet these challenges head-on. Resellers and integrators can now offer their customers a tool that not only simplifies certification readiness but also embeds security into everyday operations. With this agreement, DataGuard continues to execute on its strategy of growing through trusted channel relationships. As compliance becomes a board-level issue across industries, the company is also investing in partner enablement to help organizations of all sizes adopt a proactive, unified approach to security and privacy management.
