Track 1 — Consultants & vCISOs

Manage every client from one dashboard

The TraceLayer partner portal lets you provision dedicated compliance workspaces for each client, switch between them with one click, and share a branded Trust Center with their auditors.

One login, all clients

Add a workspace per client ($99 once, first 3 free). Switch into any client context in a single click.

Branded Trust Center per client

Each client gets a public URL showing live compliance status. Share with auditors or boards directly.

Full compliance stack

SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS — all frameworks, 120+ integrations, AI Audit Package PDF.

Bill your way

Pay $99 per workspace — once, not monthly. Bill your clients however you like and keep the margin.

Track 2 — Auditors

Customers arrive pre-organized

When a TraceLayer customer hits 75%+ readiness, we surface our certified auditor directory. You receive warm leads who have evidence already collected, controls already mapped — reducing your fieldwork by 30–40%.

01

Customer reaches 75%

TraceLayer shows the auditor directory directly inside the compliance dashboard.

02

Read-only link sent

Customer generates a secure access link — no account needed on your end. Evidence, controls, gaps — all visible.

03

You start organized

Fieldwork begins with controls already mapped. Less chasing evidence, more auditing.

Track 3 — Pen Test Firms

Get qualified pen test referrals

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 require an annual penetration test. When a TraceLayer customer has no pen test on file or their last test is approaching 12 months old, we surface our recommended pen test partners.

Demand-qualified leads

Leads come to you mid-compliance journey — they have a deadline and a reason. No cold outreach needed on your end.

Embedded in their workflow

After the test, your findings are tracked in TraceLayer as evidence. Customers return annually because you're embedded.

Simple referral model

Flat referral fee per engaged lead, or rev-share. Your partner URL is all it takes to get started.
