Headquartered in Amersfoort, Netherlands, QS Solutions offers software services and solutions to help to increase productivity and improve security at the same time. Working with a worldwide partner network of distributors, including ALSO, Ingram Micro and Tech Data to sell its proprietary software products, the Microsoft Gold- certified partner’s SaaS products include the Cyber Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) and PortalTalk, a security and governance add-on for Microsoft Teams. The combination of these products provides clients with a uniquely comprehensive cloud security and governance solution and encourages ongoing cloud adoption.
