Qmulos Joins Cisco Price List, Deepening Post-Splunk Compliance Ecosystem

CHANTILLY, Va. – April 22, 2026 – In a significant move that underscores the industry's shift toward integrated security solutions, continuous compliance leader Qmulos announced today that its flagship products are now available on the Cisco Global Price List (GPL). The inclusion, facilitated through the selective Cisco SolutionsPlus Partner Program, allows Cisco’s vast network of customers and partners to directly purchase Qmulos’s compliance and auditing tools, streamlining a traditionally fragmented procurement process.

This strategic integration marks a pivotal moment for Qmulos, a company founded in 2012 that built its reputation on providing sophisticated, Splunk-based compliance automation. With Splunk now operating as a Cisco company following the landmark $28 billion acquisition finalized in March 2024, this partnership is more than a simple channel agreement; it represents a deliberate step by Cisco to fortify its security and observability offerings with specialized, pre-validated capabilities. For enterprises grappling with complex regulatory landscapes, the move promises a more unified path toward achieving and maintaining cyber resilience.

Cisco's Expanding Security and Observability Universe

The addition of Qmulos to the Cisco GPL is a clear execution of the tech giant's post-Splunk strategy. Cisco's acquisition of Splunk was driven by a vision to create a comprehensive platform for security and observability, aiming to reduce the “tool sprawl” that plagues many enterprise IT departments. The goal is to provide a single, powerful data platform that offers unparalleled visibility and AI-driven insights, from the network core to the cloud and every endpoint in between.

Cisco’s SolutionsPlus program is a critical enabler of this strategy. It acts as a curated marketplace, allowing Cisco to augment its native portfolio with best-in-class third-party technologies without acquiring the companies themselves. By vetting and integrating partners like Qmulos, Cisco can offer complete, end-to-end solutions that address specific customer pain points. The program ensures that these third-party products are not just compatible but work seamlessly within the Cisco architecture, offering customers a guarantee of reliability and performance.

"Becoming a SolutionsPlus partner and getting on the Cisco GPL is a major milestone in our commitment to fostering a stronger, more secure digital ecosystem alongside Cisco," said Matt Coose, CEO and Founder at Qmulos, in the company's official press release. "This enables us to meet the growing demand for our solutions while providing Cisco customers with a streamlined path to simplify technical evidence collection, streamline workflows, and strengthen cyber posture."

This move places Qmulos alongside other strategic security partners in the SolutionsPlus ecosystem, validating its technology and providing it with unparalleled access to Cisco’s global sales force and customer base. For Cisco, it enriches its security offerings with a crucial layer of automated compliance, a non-negotiable requirement for organizations in regulated industries.

Automating the Compliance Gauntlet

The demand for automated compliance solutions is surging. Organizations across both public and private sectors face an ever-expanding list of regulations and security frameworks, including NIST, CMMC, and FedRAMP. Manually collecting evidence, monitoring controls, and preparing for audits is a resource-intensive, error-prone process that provides only a point-in-time snapshot of compliance.

This is the problem Qmulos was built to solve. Its two flagship products, now available through Cisco, are Q-Compliance (Q-C) and Q-Behavior Analytics and Audit (Q-BA2). Q-C is a real-time risk management and compliance automation platform that transforms technical data from Splunk into an evidence-based compliance posture. It allows organizations to continuously monitor their control status against hundreds of security frameworks. Q-BA2 complements this by providing advanced user behavior analytics and insider threat detection, crucial components for a holistic security program.

Market research validates the urgency for such tools. The compliance automation market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 16%, driven by increasing regulatory complexity and the high cost of non-compliance. By automating the collection and analysis of security data, these platforms reduce manual labor, minimize human error, and enable a shift from periodic audits to continuous, real-time assurance.

The validated integration within the Cisco and Splunk ecosystem is a key selling point. Customers can be confident that Qmulos’s tools will leverage their existing data streams within Splunk, enriched by telemetry from Cisco's vast security and networking portfolio. This creates a powerful feedback loop where network, endpoint, and cloud data can be used not just for threat detection but for ongoing, automated compliance verification.

A Market Reshaped by Integration

This partnership is emblematic of a broader trend in the enterprise technology market: the move away from standalone point solutions toward deeply integrated platforms. As cyber threats become more sophisticated and regulatory pressures mount, customers are demanding simplified, consolidated security stacks that are easier to manage and more effective at reducing risk. The days of stitching together dozens of disparate security tools are numbered, as major platform players like Cisco move to offer more comprehensive, pre-integrated solutions.

By joining the Cisco GPL, Qmulos significantly enhances its competitive position. It gains a powerful distribution channel and the credibility that comes with a Cisco endorsement, allowing it to compete more effectively against larger GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) platform vendors. The simplified procurement process alone is a major differentiator, as it removes significant friction for enterprise buyers who prefer to consolidate their spending with strategic vendors like Cisco.

For Cisco and Splunk customers, the benefits are tangible. An organization building out its security operations on Splunk can now easily add a best-in-class continuous compliance layer by simply adding a line item to their Cisco order. This reduces vendor management overhead, accelerates deployment times, and ensures that their compliance solution is tightly aligned with their core security and data platform. This unified buying and operational experience is precisely what the market is demanding, and it's a model that will likely become the standard for how specialized security capabilities are delivered in the future.
