Two assessments. Two revenue lines. Plus the remediation work that follows.
Deliver Preside RC4 Readiness™ and Preside AI Governance™ under a co-branded model. You source the client and own the relationship. We own the methodology and IP. Reports read: Prepared by [Partner] · Powered by Preside. Most of the revenue you generate is on the remediation that follows.
Partner Economics
What a typical RC4 engagement looks like for a partner
Representative numbers from active partner engagements. AI Governance™ engagements run similar economics. Specific revenue share and pricing structures negotiated per partner.
SAMPLE PARTNER P&L · ONE RC4 ENGAGEMENT
Mid-market client · ~$200M revenue
| Phase | Engagement | Partner Revenue |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Co-branded RC4 Readiness™ assessment | $22k |
| Phase 2 | Kerberos & Active Directory hardening | $34k |
| Phase 3 | Legacy TLS stack migration | $28k |
| Phase 4 | PCI-DSS 4.0 evidence collection & advisory | $18k |
| Phase 5 | Ongoing posture monitoring (annual) | $10k |
| Total over 12 months | $112k | |
Branded assessment IP differentiates the proposal in competitive situations. Remediation typically runs 4–5× assessment revenue. Many engagements convert to annual posture-monitoring retainers.
How the Partnership Works
Co-branded delivery, not white-label
The Preside brand is always on the assessment. Both names appear on the report. Both signatures appear on the engagement. The methodology IP stays with Preside; the client relationship stays with you.
Partner originates
You source the client and frame the assessment within your existing advisory practice and relationship.
Preside delivers
We run the assessment methodology (RC4 or AI Governance) using our proprietary framework and tooling.
Both brands present
Report headline: Prepared by [Partner] · Powered by Preside RC4 Readiness™.
Partner owns remediation
You retain the follow-on remediation work and the client relationship. We support as needed.
What the Report Looks Like
Both signatures. Both logos. Your relationship, our methodology.
The deliverable is a co-branded report that lands differently than a generic audit. Your name reassures the client of continuity. Preside's framework name signals proprietary IP and methodology rigor.
This is the differentiator in competitive situations: "Prepared by [Your firm] · Powered by Preside RC4 Readiness™" beats a vendor-neutral checklist every time.
