Niva and NV7

An integrator whose partner list is a map of this timeline.

Niva Tecnologia da Informação is a São Paulo integrator working across three lines: information security, electronic security and data centre. NV7 is a branch or spin-off of the same business, which is why both appear here as one entry rather than two.

**The partner list is the most informative thing in the public record, and it is worth reading as a document rather than a roster:** F5, Palo Alto Networks, NetApp, CrowdStrike, Forescout, Netskope, Citrix, Avigilon, Furukawa and Lenel. **Six of those are network and security vendors; two are physical security; one is structured cabling; one is storage.**

**That combination describes a specific kind of company, and one this timeline has documented from every side except this one.** An integrator carrying both information security and electronic security is selling into a building rather than into a network - firewalls and door controllers, network access control and cameras, on the same project, for the same customer, who has one budget and one set of contractors. **The distinction between the two disciplines is much sharper in the vendor catalogues than it is on a construction site.**

**The Furukawa entry in that list is the tell.** Structured cabling sits underneath both the security camera and the firewall, and the company that pulls the cable is well placed to sell what hangs off it - which is the same observation the Anixter entry makes from the distribution side, arriving here from the installation side.

**This entry is short because the evidence is short.** Niva has a company page, a service description and a partner list. There is no published founding date, no founder account and no ownership history, and this site does not manufacture those. **An entry should be as long as its evidence, not as long as its neighbours** - and the alternative, padding it out with what companies of this type usually do, would be writing fiction with a real company's name on it.
