Coalfire has joined the Wiz Partner Alliance to combine cybersecurity services with cloud security technology. The partnership will integrate Wiz's platform into Coalfire's cloud posture assessment, exposure management, and compliance management services. The collaboration aims to connect security and compliance for cloud customers in regulated industries. Coalfire brings compliance expertise, cloud engineering, and managed security capabilities, whilst Wiz provides cloud-native visibility and risk analysis tools. "Exposure Management Powered by Wiz" will launch on the Google Marketplace. The partnership offers customers flexible options ranging from one-time cloud assessments to continuous compliance monitoring. Services will include managed posture analysis, attack path review, and drift governance, helping organisations transition from periodic manual reviews to ongoing operational support.

Coalfire has launched the CMMC Partner Assurance Network (CPAN), a collaborative ecosystem designed to help Defence Industrial Base organisations navigate Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification compliance. The marketplace connects defence suppliers with vetted partners supporting readiness, implementation, certification and ongoing compliance. CPAN aims to reduce supply chain risk and accelerate compliance timelines. The network addresses cyber risk concentrated in lower-tier suppliers, where non-compliant subcontractors can jeopardise contract eligibility. The platform provides prime contractors with improved supplier readiness visibility whilst giving subcontractors access to trusted providers, technical guidance and training. CEO Brad Little described CMMC as one of the most significant cybersecurity transformations the Defence Industrial Base has experienced in decades, positioning CPAN as a solution to reduce fragmentation and confusion.
