The Partner Program that turns compliance into a revenue line
Built for compliance agencies, vCISOs, and resellers who manage SOC 2 for multiple clients. Buy client subscriptions at wholesale, resell at your own price, and deliver a co-branded platform built around your methodology.
Most compliance tools are a cost center for your clients. The Partner Plan makes them a revenue center for you.
Your methodology, built into the platform
The Partner Plan is more than just a reseller arrangement — it’s practice infrastructure. You define how compliance work gets done inside SimpleAudit, and every client you onboard inherits that structure automatically.
Custom action plans let you encode your engagement methodology directly into the platform, so clients work through your defined workflow step by step instead of through spreadsheets and email. Custom points of focus let you tailor how SOC 2 controls are evaluated to match your interpretation of the standard — so your expertise is embedded in every assessment, not just delivered in a report.
The result is a compliance practice that scales. Your tenth client onboards the same way as your first — same methodology, same quality, a fraction of the manual coordination.
The business model
As a partner, you purchase client subscriptions at wholesale — about 40% below retail — and resell at any price you choose. Your clients get a co-branded compliance platform built around your methodology. You keep the spread on every subscription, every month, for as long as they’re clients.
The math works quickly. At retail pass-through, a handful of active clients offset most of your platform cost. Bill above retail — which most partners do — and the margin compounds further. Unlike project-based consulting revenue, subscription margin is predictable, recurring, and grows with your client base without adding proportional hours.
A platform that pays you back
The wholesale margin on client subscriptions doesn’t just offset your platform cost — at modest client volumes it covers it, turning the platform into a net positive on your P&L.
| Active Essentials clients | Markup at retail pass-through | Your net |
|---|---|---|
| 1 client | ~$80/mo | ~$719/mo platform cost |
| 3 clients | ~$240/mo | ~$559/mo platform cost |
| 5 clients | ~$400/mo | ~$399/mo platform cost |
| 10 clients | ~$800/mo | Platform pays for itself |
| 15 clients | ~$1,200/mo | ~$401/mo net margin |
Based on Essentials retail pass-through ($199/mo retail, $119/mo wholesale). Most partners bill above retail, which compounds the margin; Pro and Business clients (launching 2026 Q3) carry larger markups. Actual margin depends on how you price to clients and your mix across tiers.
A co-branded experience your clients trust
Your clients never feel like they’re using a third-party tool. The platform carries your brand, your methodology, and your voice throughout the experience. When they log in, they see your practice — not SimpleAudit’s. That matters for retention: clients who work inside a platform that feels like yours are clients who stay with your practice.
An AI-powered referral engine for your practice
Included with the Partner Plan
The Partner Plan doesn’t just give you a platform — it makes your practice discoverable to SimpleAudit’s wider user base. List the services you offer, and when a SimpleAudit user asks the AI assistant about one of them, the assistant can recommend your practice right inside the conversation.
Offer penetration testing? When a user starts asking the assistant about a pen test, your practice can surface as a recommendation — a warm, in-context, inbound lead you never had to chase. The same goes for tabletop exercises, vCISO engagements, managed detection & response, and vulnerability scanning and management.
You stay in control: only the services you actively list are eligible, and you can opt out of AI referrals at any time. Recommendations only ever reach SimpleAudit users who aren’t already a partner or someone’s managed client — so the leads are genuinely new business for your practice.
What the platform handles for your clients
Every client org includes the full SimpleAudit readiness product. This is the work your team currently guides clients through manually — the platform systematizes it so clients make progress between your touchpoints.

Frequently asked questions
- Who is the SimpleAudit Partner Program for?
- Compliance agencies, vCISOs, and compliance consultants who run SOC 2 programs for multiple clients — plus CPA/advisory practices and MSPs adding compliance to an existing book of business. If you deliver compliance as a service, the Partner Plan is the infrastructure to do it at higher margin and lower overhead.
- How does the margin actually work?
- You buy client subscriptions at wholesale — about 40% below retail — and resell at any price you choose. On an Essentials client at retail pass-through that is roughly $80/mo of margin; bill above retail (most partners do) and it compounds. At a modest book of clients the wholesale margin offsets your platform cost entirely, before you bill a single consulting hour.
- How does the client discount work?
- Partner-managed client organizations are billed at wholesale rates — about 40% below retail. The discount applies automatically when you invite a client.
- Can my clients see my branding?
- Yes. Partners can upload a logo and set accent colors. Client-facing portal surfaces display partner branding instead of SimpleAudit branding, so clients work inside a platform that feels like your practice.
- Is there a free trial?
- Yes — 14-day free trial for the Partner plan. No credit card required to start.
