Your clients trust you to help them solve problems, manage risk and make informed decisions. As their information security, privacy and supplier assurance needs grow, they may also need software and specialist support that extend beyond your existing services.
The DPS Compliance Hub reseller programme helps you meet those needs. It combines your knowledge of your clients with practical workspaces and expertise from Data Privacy Services, giving you more ways to support them while retaining your commercial relationship.
Who is the partner programme for?
We welcome conversations with consultants, privacy specialists, auditors, Managed Service Providers and other businesses that support organisations with governance and compliance.
You might already advise clients on ISO 27001, provide outsourced IT services, support their data protection programme or help them assess suppliers. Becoming a partner gives you additional tools and services to bring into those engagements.
The partnership starts with understanding your business, the clients you serve and the offer you want to develop.
Turn your advice into practical action
Good advice needs a clear route to implementation. Clients need to know what to do, who is responsible and what evidence to retain.
DPS Compliance Hub workspaces help organise that activity, giving clients a structured place to manage responsibilities, assessments, documentation and progress.
As a partner, you can combine these workspaces with your own services to help clients move from identifying a requirement to managing the work involved.
ISMS Workspace
The ISMS Workspace supports ISO 27001 implementation and ongoing information security management by bringing together risks, controls, documentation, tasks and evidence.
For partners, it provides a practical foundation for implementation support, progress reviews and continuing management services. It helps make the work visible and organised throughout the engagement.
Supplier Risk Workspace
Supplier assurance often involves questionnaires, supporting documents, internal decisions and repeated requests for information.
The Supplier Risk Workspace brings supplier assessments, evidence, procurement decisions and ongoing assurance into one place. Partners can use it alongside their services to help clients introduce a more consistent approach to evaluating and reviewing suppliers.
Broaden your offering with specialist support
You do not need to build every capability within your own business.
Alongside the workspaces, partners can discuss specialist DPS services such as:
- ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 implementation.
- Internal auditing and ongoing management.
- Supplier risk management.
- DPO as a Service.
The scope, responsibilities and delivery arrangements are agreed for each engagement. This lets you develop an offer around the client’s needs, with DPS expertise available where it adds value.
Keep your client relationship
The reseller model gives you a direct commercial relationship with your customer.
You agree the sale with your client, contract with them and invoice them directly. You purchase the agreed software or services from DPS under your reseller agreement.
Your buying prices, currency and payment terms are agreed individually. This provides a clear basis for developing your customer offer and understanding your responsibilities.
Create opportunities for ongoing business
Compliance requirements continue after an initial project is complete. Clients need to review risks, maintain documentation, assess new suppliers and keep evidence current.
Combining software subscriptions with implementation, reviews and agreed support creates opportunities for longer-term engagements.
For your clients, that can mean continuity and a familiar point of contact. For your business, it provides a way to build continuing services around their changing requirements.
Work with DPS throughout the opportunity
A successful partnership needs support before and after the sale.
Depending on the agreed engagement, DPS can contribute demonstrations, specialist pre-sales input, delivery planning and onboarding support.
The dedicated Reseller Portal helps keep the partnership organised, bringing together catalogue guidance, opportunities, resources and support conversations. Access is arranged following verification of your reseller account and named Microsoft identity.
How to get started
The first step is a conversation about your market, expertise and intended offering.
Together, we can explore suitable products and services, discuss support requirements and agree the commercial arrangements. From there, we work with you to shape opportunities and confirm the scope before you make commitments to your customer.
