Cisco Partner UK organisations trust for secure networking, Zero Trust and digital resilience.

Cisco Select Integrator with Core Security Solutions Specialization is a recognised tier in the Cisco Partner Programme that combines certified networking and security expertise. Transputec holds both, which means UK customers get certified engineers across Catalyst, Meraki, ISE, Duo and Secure Firewall, faster Cisco TAC escalation, and the ability to deliver secure-by-design architectures aligned to NCSC guidance. See Cisco UK’s official partner programme page and our cyber security pillar for how Cisco fits the wider programme.

The full Cisco enterprise networking and security stack: Catalyst and Nexus switches, Meraki cloud-managed networking, Cisco SD-WAN, Identity Services Engine (ISE) for network access control, Duo for multi-factor authentication, Secure Firewall (Firepower), Umbrella for DNS-layer security, SecureX for unified threat detection and response, and ThousandEyes for end-to-end network visibility. We design the architecture, integrate with your UK service desk and run it as a managed service if you want us to.

Buying Cisco direct gets you the licences. Buying Cisco through a Cisco Select Integrator like Transputec gets you the licences plus design, configuration, deployment, integration with your existing UK estate, 24/7 NOC and SOC monitoring, and one accountable UK service desk. The unit price is comparable (we have access to programme pricing), but the operational lift is yours, not your team’s. For UK organisations standing up Zero Trust or SD-WAN at scale, the partner route compresses the deployment timeline materially. See our guide to working with a UK managed IT services provider.

Cost depends on three things: scope (number of sites, users and devices), licence model (perpetual vs subscription) and operating model (in-house vs Transputec managed service). As a rough UK indicative, a multi-site Cisco SD-WAN with ISE and Duo for a 500-user organisation typically lands in the £150,000 to £400,000 range for hardware, licences and Year-1 services. We share an indicative figure in the first 30 minute UK call and a firm quote after discovery. Compare typical UK IT cost benchmarks in our UK managed IT support cost per user blog.

Yes. Zero Trust with Cisco typically combines ISE for identity-aware network access, Duo for user and device posture, segmentation at the Catalyst and Meraki edge, and Secure Firewall for policy enforcement. We design the Zero Trust roadmap, deploy in phases that do not disrupt the business, and integrate it with your wider UK cyber security programme. Aligns to the NCSC Zero Trust principles.

Yes. We run a UK Network Operations Centre (NOC) for proactive Cisco networking monitoring, change management and capacity reporting, and a UK Security Operations Centre (SOC) for security event monitoring and incident response with Cisco SecureX in the loop. Both wrap round our UK service desk and managed SOC service, with Cisco TAC escalation when it is needed.

Yes. Transputec is ISO 27001 certified for information security management and Cyber Essentials Plus accredited, so every Cisco engagement we run, from design documentation to running production configurations, passes through controls that satisfy UK GDPR and the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). All Cisco operations are delivered from UK staff in our London headquarters and UK SOC. Read the ISO 27001 standard and see our full UK certifications list.

Cisco is the network and identity backbone of most UK cyber security programmes we run. ISE and Duo cover identity; Secure Firewall, Umbrella and SecureX cover threat detection and response; SD-WAN and ThousandEyes cover hybrid network resilience. Aligns naturally with the UK NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework, which we use as a reference when scoping the roadmap. See our cyber security services overview for the full picture.
