EFROS

Partner Program

Three lanes. Honest economics.

For law firms, MSP/MSSPs, insurance brokers, CPA firms, and AI vendors whose clients need cybersecurity, AI governance, privacy, or compliance work. Pick the lane that matches the commitment you're prepared to make — referral, co-marketing, or strategic alliance. Each lane lists the economics, the registration flow, and the joint assets EFROS will co-produce.

Lane 1

Referral / Reseller

Refer a qualified client. We close, deliver, and pay you on collected revenue. Lowest commitment, fastest payout cycle.

Who it's for

  • •Law firms with corporate clients facing AI governance, privacy, or breach-response needs
  • •MSPs and IT consultancies that don't carry their own cybersecurity, AI governance, or compliance practice
  • •Insurance brokers (cyber lines) whose clients fail renewal questionnaires or need pre-bind hardening
  • •CPA firms whose clients face HIPAA, NIST 800-171, CMMC, or SOX IT-controls scope

Deal economics

  • •15% of net collected revenue, year-1 of any new engagement sourced
  • •Recurring 5% on years 2-3 for managed-service or vCISO engagements
  • •Paid monthly within 30 days of EFROS collection
  • •Deal protection: 90-day registration window on each named account

Registration

  1. Submit the named account via /contact (select "Partner")
  2. EFROS confirms registration within one business day
  3. You make the warm introduction; we co-attend the first call if useful
  4. Quote, proposal, and close run on EFROS paper; revenue split tracked in our PRM

Joint assets we'll build

  • •One-page "why EFROS" leave-behind (co-branded option, NDA optional)
  • •Industry-specific objection-handling cheat sheets (healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, gov-contractor)
  • •Standardised intro-email template the partner can send

Lane 2

Co-Marketing / Joint Solution

We build something together — a joint webinar, a co-authored playbook, a packaged offer that combines our service with yours. Mid-commitment, mid-payout, durable pipeline.

Who it's for

  • •MSP/MSSPs that need an AI governance practice but won't build one in-house
  • •Cyber insurance brokers building "renewal-ready" or "pre-bind" client packages
  • •AI vendors (LLM platforms, AI-scribe vendors, agentic-AI tools) whose enterprise buyers need governance evidence
  • •Industry associations (TIA, NMFTA, HIMSS, AADGP) hosting member education programs

Deal economics

  • •Joint offers: revenue share negotiated per package, typically 50/50 on the bundled component EFROS delivers
  • •Co-marketing: each side carries its own marketing costs; lead capture shared 50/50
  • •Joint case studies: published once the engagement closes, with partner attribution
  • •Quarterly business reviews to measure sourced-pipeline ROI

Registration

  1. Discovery call to scope the joint offer or campaign (1 hour)
  2. Mutual NDA, then a one-page joint solution brief signed by both sides
  3. EFROS contributes the cybersecurity/AI-governance content; partner contributes their domain layer
  4. Launch on a calendar both sides commit to — typically 30-60 days from brief to first asset

Joint assets we'll build

  • •Co-branded webinar deck and recording (your audience, our SME)
  • •Joint playbook or one-pager — co-authored, dual-logo
  • •Packaged offer SKU with both companies in the SOW
  • •Press release template for the announcement, if relevant
Start in this lane

Lane 3

Strategic Alliance

Deeper integration — joint go-to-market, named account planning, executive alignment, sometimes an embedded resource. For partners whose customer base materially overlaps with EFROS's ICP.

Who it's for

  • •National/regional MSP groups with multi-state client books
  • •Top-100 cyber insurance brokers building a vendor panel
  • •Healthcare-systems IT integrators looking for an AI governance and compliance partner
  • •AI platform vendors (LLM, agent, scribe, decisioning) productising a governance-evidence layer for enterprise sales

Deal economics

  • •Joint account planning on a named target list (typically 25-100 accounts)
  • •Custom revenue model — referral fee, joint SOW participation, or revenue share on a packaged offer
  • •Joint pipeline review monthly; QBR with both sides' executives quarterly
  • •Eligible for dedicated bandwidth from an EFROS principal engineer + co-marketing budget

Registration

  1. Executive intro call (Stefan Efros on EFROS side)
  2. Mutual NDA, then a Letter of Intent describing scope and named accounts
  3. 60-90 day diligence on both sides — references, technical fit, commercial alignment
  4. Master Service Agreement plus a partner-specific Joint Business Plan signed by both executives

Joint assets we'll build

  • •Joint Business Plan (named accounts, revenue targets, milestone gates)
  • •Executive sponsor matrix and escalation runbook on both sides
  • •Joint-solution architecture document for the most common engagement shape
  • •Press / analyst briefing pack if both sides want public alignment

Vendor & Certification Partners

We also document our own vendor partnerships

Separate from the EFROS partner program above, we are an authorised partner against major platform vendors (Microsoft, AWS, Cisco, 3CX) and operate against the certifications and frameworks listed in the Trust Center. Partner-tier letters and Statements of Applicability are released to qualified reviewers under NDA — typically within five business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which partner lane is right for us?

Start with Referral if you're testing the fit — lowest commitment, no joint marketing required, fast first payout. Move to Co-Marketing once you have 2-3 closed referrals and want to scale the motion. Strategic Alliance is for partners where 25+ named accounts overlap and both executive teams want to commit. We don't push partners up tiers; we let the pipeline pull you up.

Is the referral fee tax-reported?

Yes. Referral fees are reported on Form 1099-NEC at calendar year-end. EFROS collects a W-9 at partner registration. International partners use Form W-8BEN-E and we issue Form 1042-S as required.

How do you protect against partner conflicts on the same account?

First-to-register wins for a 90-day exclusivity window. If two partners register the same named buyer within 24 hours of each other, EFROS arbitrates based on documented prior contact and a brief deal-attribution call with both partners. We publish the conflict-resolution policy in the partner brief PDF.

Can we white-label EFROS services under our brand?

Not in the Referral lane (transparent attribution, single-paper contract). Limited white-label is available in the Strategic Alliance lane for specific service components (e.g. SOC-as-a-service inside an MSP's stack) under a separate Sub-Processor Agreement and with documented end-customer disclosure.

What does EFROS expect from partners?

Warm intros (not cold lists), honest qualification (we'll lose money chasing the wrong fit, so will you), and joint accountability when an engagement starts. We don't expect monthly quotas, marketing commitments, or exclusivity unless the lane explicitly calls for it.

Where do I download the partner brief?

The one-page partner brief (PDF) is available at /downloads/partners/efros-partner-brief.pdf — economics, registration flow, and joint-asset catalog on a single page suitable for forwarding to a CFO or partner-leadership team.

Ready to register a deal or scope a joint offer?

Send the named account or the joint-offer concept. We confirm registration in one business day and route from there.
