What is the CyNtell partner program?
CyNtell's channel partner program lets MSPs, VARs, IT consultancies, and technology integrators add compliance and cybersecurity services to what they already sell, without building that expertise in house.
Partners register the deal, CyNtell's own subject matter experts deliver the assessment or service, and revenue is shared on a registered, tracked basis. It's a 100% channel model: CyNtell does not compete with its partners for the same client relationship.

Partner tracks
Pick the track that fits how you sell
Both tracks run through the same deal registration process, so there's one application. We confirm which model fits each opportunity during onboarding.
Referral partner
You make the introduction. We run the engagement.
You introduce CyNtell to a client with a compliance or security need, and our team handles the work from start to finish.
- Register the introduction, with no delivery work on your side
- Referral compensation on every closed, registered deal
- Stay informed on the engagement without owning delivery
Best for firms that want to stay focused on their core offering and earn on introductions.
Reseller partner
You keep the client. We deliver behind your brand.
You hold the client relationship and contract, and CyNtell delivers the compliance or security work under your name.
- Deal registration protects the opportunity you originated
- Revenue sharing on delivered work, not just introductions
- Direct access to our subject matter experts for scoping and delivery
Best for firms that want compliance and cybersecurity services under their own client relationship.
Why compliance
Why partner on compliance, not just security
Security is a conversation your clients can put off. Compliance comes with a requirement, an auditor, and a date.
Apply to become a partnerRegulatory pressure keeps compounding
CMMC flows down the Department of War (DoW) supply chain, HIPAA obligations aren't going away, and state privacy laws keep expanding. Each one gives a client a reason to act now.
A deadline sells where a pitch doesn't
A compliance requirement with a real date attached moves through a sales cycle faster than a general security upsell.
You don't need the credentials yourself
CyNtell brings GSA Schedule, SBA 8(a), HUBZone, and Authorized C3PAO status to the deal, credentials that would take your firm years to earn on its own.
One assessment opens the door to more
A gap assessment leads to remediation, ongoing monitoring, and Fractional CISO support, so a single registered deal can grow into a lasting client relationship.

Deal registration and revenue
How does deal registration and revenue sharing work?
You register an opportunity before it's actively worked, which locks in your attribution to that deal. CyNtell then delivers the compliance or security work, and revenue is shared based on your registered partner track, referral or reseller.
Once a deal is registered, CyNtell does not approach that client directly outside the partnership.
Support and enablement
What support do partners get once they're onboarded?
- Direct access to our subject matter experts for deal scoping and technical questions
- Content and positioning help for the framework your client needs, whether that's CMMC, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, or another
- Support through deal registration and tracking
You never have to answer a compliance question alone. Our SMEs stay on the deal, not just at signup.
Why CyNtell
Why partner with CyNtell specifically
Plenty of firms offer a referral program. Here's what your clients actually get when you bring CyNtell into the deal.
Federal credentials, ready to use
GSA Schedule, SBA 8(a), HUBZone, and Authorized C3PAO status open doors to public sector and defense supply chain clients your firm might not reach on its own.
In-house delivery, not subcontracted
Our SOC as a Service monitoring and penetration testing are staffed by CyNtell's own team, so you're never reselling a white-labeled subcontractor.
Lead with what your client needs
From CMMC assessment and gap assessments to SOC as a Service, penetration testing, and Fractional CISO, you can open with the service that fits the client in front of you.

Have a question that isn't covered here? Ask it in the application form and our partner team will follow up.
Apply to become a partnerWhat's the difference between a referral partner and a reseller partner?
A referral partner introduces CyNtell to a client and steps back while CyNtell delivers the work and contracts directly with the client. A reseller partner keeps the client relationship and contract, and CyNtell delivers the compliance or security work behind the scenes.
How do I register a deal?
Submit the opportunity through the partner application form before it's actively worked. Once registered, that deal is tracked to your partnership for the life of the engagement.
Do I need any certifications to become a partner?
No. CyNtell brings the compliance credentials, including Authorized C3PAO, GSA Schedule, SBA 8(a), and HUBZone status, along with the subject matter expertise. Partners bring the client relationship.
Can I resell CyNtell's services under my own brand?
Yes, on the reseller track. You keep the client relationship and contract, and CyNtell delivers the underlying compliance or security work.
Does CyNtell compete with its partners for the same clients?
No. CyNtell runs a 100% channel model for partnered opportunities. Once a deal is registered, CyNtell does not approach that client directly outside the partnership.
Which compliance frameworks and services can I bring to CyNtell?
CMMC, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and NY DFS and NY SHIELD are all in scope. Partners can also bring clients to CyNtell's broader services, including gap assessments, SOC as a Service, penetration testing, and Fractional CISO support.
