🤝 vCXO & MSP Partner Program

You already run governance for your clients. Now productize it.

GOVERNBOX gives vCISOs, MSPs, and consultancies one platform for every client’s AI, risk, IT, and data governance — isolated client workspaces, board-ready deliverables, and wholesale pricing that turns your governance retainer into a product line instead of a spreadsheet stack.

The retainer math

A governance line item your clients already want to buy

Your clients are being asked about AI by boards, insurers, and enterprise customers — and most partners fold GOVERNBOX into a managed governance retainer of $500–$1,200 per month per client. Client workspaces start at $3,500/yr retail, and partners buy below retail at escalating wholesale rates. The rate card comes with your acceptance packet.

You set the price

Bill clients directly at your own rates — the license cost is yours at wholesale, and the margin between it and your retainer is your practice’s.

Pick the SKU per client

A 20-person nonprofit gets a Starter workspace; a regulated healthcare client gets Agency with HIPAA and the EU AI Act. Your discount applies to whichever configuration each client licenses.

Recurring, defensible, renewable

The platform keeps every client’s program current between your touchpoints — which is what makes the retainer renew.

Program tiers

Three partner tiers. Your clients pick their own workspace SKUs.

Your program tier sets your wholesale discount, support commitments, and onboarding depth — it is deliberately separate from what any client workspace costs, which depends on the tier and modules that client actually needs.

Registered Partner

  • Wholesale pricing
  • Self-service knowledge base + partner runbooks
  • 24-business-hour support response
Most partners land here

Certified vCXO Partner

5+ active client workspaces

  • Deeper wholesale pricing
  • Two 1-on-1 onboarding sessions — completing them is what “Certified” means
  • 8-business-hour support response
  • Co-branding on client deliverables (program roadmap)

Premier MSP Partner

15+ active client workspaces

  • Deepest wholesale pricing
  • Dedicated account manager + quarterly business review
  • 2-business-hour priority desk

Falling below a tier’s workspace quota starts a 60-day grace period before your wholesale rate adjusts — and client workspaces are never affected by partner-tier changes. Full mechanics in the program terms.

What partners get

Built for the firm that runs governance for everyone else

A free, full-depth demo workspace

Every partner gets a not-for-resale workspace with all five modules at full depth — run your demos and your own internal governance program on the real product, whatever your program tier.

Wholesale pricing, your retainer

You set end-user pricing and bill clients directly. Your discount applies to the retail price of whichever tier × module configuration each client workspace uses — chosen per client.

Client workspaces, provisioned for you

Each client gets their own fully isolated tenant — their data, their audit log, their trust page. Concierge provisioning today; the partner portal with self-service provisioning and a cross-client roll-up is on the roadmap.

Board-ready deliverables every quarter

The quarterly board report, prefilled board deck, maturity score, and compliance crosswalks — the artifacts your monthly retainer is judged on, generated from each client's real data.

A public trust story for every client

Each client workspace can publish a live Trust Page and embeddable badge — white-labeled today on Agency-tier workspaces. Partner co-branding (“Governance managed by your firm”) is on the program roadmap.

Client data ownership, guaranteed

Client workspaces belong to the client and never go dark because of a partner-status change. If an engagement ends, the workspace transfers with the client — data intact, audit trail intact.

How it works

From application to your first client workspace

Apply

Tell us about your practice — services, client base, and how you run governance today. Applying is free and takes two minutes.

We review every application personally. This is a curated channel, not a signup form — quality over volume.

Vetting & the rate card

If it's a fit, you get the wholesale rate card, the program agreement, and your partner tier.

Wholesale rates are shared at acceptance and never published — your margin is not something we advertise to your clients.

Onboarding & certification

Your free demo workspace goes live and we walk the full governance loop together — intake to board report. Completing onboarding is what earns the Certified designation.

The claims guardrails live here too: what partner marketing may say about generated output, and what it never may.

Provision clients & run the retainer

Each client gets an isolated workspace at the tier and modules they need, invoiced to you at wholesale. Concierge provisioning today; the self-service partner portal is on the roadmap.

Every partner action in a client workspace lands in that client’s own append-only audit log — third-party access your clients can prove.
Support & availability commitments

Commitments we publish, measure, and put in the terms

These become binding through the Partner Program Terms once your agreement is executed. Support targets are measured over business hours — Monday to Friday, 9:00–17:00 US Eastern, excluding US federal holidays. Uptime is measured monthly by an independent third-party monitor, excluding maintenance announced in advance.

Straight answers

What partner firms ask first

Who owns the client's data — us or the client?

The client. Every client workspace is the client organization's own tenant: their policies, risk register, and evidence belong to them, isolated by row-level security like every other GOVERNBOX tenant. If your engagement ends, the workspace and everything in it transfers with the client — to direct billing with us or to a successor partner. A client's workspace never goes dark because of a change in partner status.

Who bills the client?

You do. Partners set their own end-user pricing and bill clients directly — most fold the license into a monthly governance retainer (typically $500–$1,200/month for the governance line item). GOVERNBOX invoices you at your wholesale rate for each client workspace. If you'd rather we bill the client directly, tell us in your application and we'll discuss a referral arrangement.

What does a client workspace cost us at wholesale?

Your wholesale discount applies to the retail annual price of whichever tier and module configuration each client workspace uses — you choose per client, from Starter single-module to Agency Complete. The rate card itself is shared at application acceptance rather than published; your program tier (Registered, Certified vCXO, or Premier MSP) sets the discount level.

What does 'Certified vCXO Partner' mean?

It means your firm has completed the GOVERNBOX partner onboarding and certification curriculum — the working sessions where we set up your demo workspace, walk the full governance loop end to end, and cover the claims guardrails. It is a program credential, not a professional certification, and we say so plainly.

Do we get a workspace of our own?

Yes — every accepted partner gets a free, full-depth NFR (not-for-resale) workspace with all five modules for demos and your own internal governance program. It carries the same capabilities as our top tier, whatever your program tier, because a crippled demo helps nobody.

Can we present GOVERNBOX output as our own work?

Co-branding is on the program roadmap — board reports and trust pages that carry your firm's name alongside ours. What we ask in return is claims discipline: partners describe the output as a defensible, audit-ready starting point that the client reviews and approves. It is never 'certified legal advice' or 'guaranteed compliance,' and the program terms make that a hard rule.

What if a prospect of ours is already talking to you directly?

Tell us early. We'd rather route a deal to the partner who owns the relationship than compete with our own channel, and the program terms include deal-registration procedures as they're published. Our own advisory offering exists for organizations that want direct help — not to undercut partner retainers.

Does GOVERNBOX.ai Advisory Services compete with us for our clients?

No. We don't go looking for our partners' clients. GOVERNBOX.ai Advisory Services is for organizations with no partner of record; where a partner already runs governance, that partner leads and we refer the client to them on request. The one thing we won't do is pretend otherwise: if a client asks to work with us directly, we will — that is the client's call to make, not ours. The same boundary is published on the advisory page itself, so you can see exactly what your clients are told.

How do support and uptime commitments work?

Partner-tier support response targets and the uptime commitment are published on this page and made binding through the Partner Program Terms. Uptime is measured monthly by an independent third-party monitor with a public status page — not by us grading our own homework.

Bring GOVERNBOX to your clients
