it seems that Cogidubnus was awarded additional civitates sometime between the invasion and the governorship of Didius Gallus.
In that case I presume the point is that he was very friendly with the Romans. Tacitus re-inforces this when he says that he was loyal "down to our times" which implies a "special relationship" that he was able to broker for those he ruled over.
So SP would have felt safe entering his lands and also Boudica would have no problem invading the Atrebates territories.
