NVISIONx Founder on Next-Gen Security & Channel Partnerships

Data security posture management platform vendor NVISIONx recently announced its strategic partnership with channel provider Mainline Information Systems. Mainline will now provide a new managed service offering powered by NVISIONx to expand its cybersecurity and compliance solutions for enterprise clients.

Channel Insider spoke with Glen Day, the founder and CEO of NVISIONx, about the partnership and his company’s approach to data security for its enterprise customers.

NVISIONx and Mainline Information Systems partner to drive growth

The partnership between the two companies was formed through mutual connections between NVISIONx board members and Mainline leadership. According to Day, when Mainline first saw the product and began to understand the pain points it solves, the team saw an opportunity to bring customers what many had been asking the solutions provider for: a way to address data-driven compliance and security concerns.

“Our collaboration with NVISIONx strengthens Mainline’s ability to help organizations gain deep visibility into their data landscape while proactively reducing risk and optimizing security controls,” said Chris Hoke, Mainline’s VP of cybersecurity, in a press statement. “In today’s evolving threat environment, businesses need actionable insights to identify at-risk data and ensure compliance without unnecessary complexity. By adding NVISIONx to our comprehensive IT solutions, we’re equipping our clients with the intelligence they need to enhance security, reduce costs, and drive operational efficiency.”

Day and his team view partnerships with top providers like Mainline as one of many signs the company is growing quickly into a league of its own.

“We’re elevating our channel partners and their businesses,” Day continued. “They are no longer limited to conversations with CIOs and CTOs, they can now talk to legal and operations and finance and more, because we provide a solution to a business problem.”

NVISIONx platform approach to data security brings disparate teams together in one language

As Day says, data management and relevant security tasks are rarely worked on by just one team. Instead, different departments within an organization, from legal and HR to security teams and developers, all touch various components of data within siloes that often leave organizations vulnerable.

Day states this lack of total ownership is the key pain point NVISIONx solves.

“We call ourselves a silo-breaker,” Day said. “At the end of the day, this is a business problem, not just a tech problem. No one feels fully accountable for data governance and security, and we give all teams one platform so they can address everything from policy to records management.”

The Nx platform enables professionals to more efficiently and accurately inventory and classify data, leading to better collaboration between leaders on what data to protect and what to purge. It connects to any data store a company might have, whether in the cloud or on-prem, and both structured and unstructured.

With AI tools’ ever-increasing popularity, businesses must ensure their data is properly stored, identified, classified, and eventually removed. As regulations like the FTC’s Right to be Forgotten continue to be enforced, enterprises need to ensure that the data they collect is not just secured while they maintain it, but properly deleted at the appropriate time.

To Day, solving such a complex business problem at a time when it is arguably more needed than ever is a sign that he and his team are doing something right. So far, the market seems to agree.

“We’re competing against billion-dollar companies and winning because we offer an approach no one else does,” Day said. “We’re helping with a problem that the market still doesn’t fully understand.”

Data and security remain top concerns for enterprises as they build out use cases for GenAI and agentic AI investments. Catch up on the latest news from Scale Computing, which has touted its SC//Platform as AI-ready infrastructure.
