Qualys, which provides disruptive, cloud-based IT, security and compliance solutions, expanded its invitation-only managed Risk Operations Center (mROC) partner alliance. This update, which includes new global partners, marks a step forward in Qualys’ mission to build a robust risk operations center (ROC) ecosystem, making business-aligned cyber-risk management more accessible, actionable and measurable for global organizations.
The ROC framework is built on Qualys’ Enterprise TruRisk management platform, and consolidates risk signals across an organization’s digital footprint and into a single pane of glass. It supports continuous threat exposure management (CTEM), cyber-risk quantification and risk remediation, empowering CISOs to translate cyber risk into business terms, ensure audit readiness and build long-term resilience. The mROC partner alliance equips partners to drive growth by delivering Qualys-powered ROC services that transform how enterprises measure, manage and reduce cyber-risk.
The expanded roster of partners brings improved expertise to help organizations overcome cybersecurity challenges such as fragmented tools, disjointed risk response and limited visibility—enabling a proactive approach to managing cyber-risk at scale.
Through a comprehensive suite of risk-service offerings, mROC partners play a critical role in Qualys’ mission to make cyber-risk management easier to adopt, more practical to implement and more impactful, worldwide. The inaugural list of mROC partners includes:
- North America: BlueVoyant, GuidePoint Security and ImagineX.
- Europe: NetHive and The Tech Collective.
- Middle East: Teksalah.
This group has been trained and enabled to operate a ROC powered by Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM), delivering comprehensive managed-risk services. By aggregating and analyzing risk signals from both Qualys and third-party tools, they offer clients a holistic, business-aligned view of their risk exposure.
“When we introduced the concept of the Risk Operations Center, we knew it had the potential to redefine how organizations manage cyber risk,” said Sumedh Thakar, president and CEO, Qualys. “Today, with the launch of our inaugural global mROC partners, we’re delivering on that vision. This is a major milestone in building a thriving ROC ecosystem—one that helps businesses around the world take control of cyber risk with clarity, speed and measurable impact.”
