Preparing your workspace
Preparing your workspace
Built for compliance consultancies and vCISOs who run SOC 2 programs for multiple clients. SimpleAudit’s AI does the heavy lifting on policies, gap analysis, and evidence, so each engagement takes fewer of your hours and your practice can take on more clients without adding headcount.
The revenue line is the bonus: buy client subscriptions at wholesale, resell at your own price, and keep the spread every month.
The Partner Plan is more than a resale arrangement; it’s practice infrastructure. You define how compliance work gets done inside SimpleAudit, and every client you onboard inherits that structure automatically.
Custom action plans let you encode your engagement methodology directly into the platform, so clients work through your defined workflow step by step instead of through spreadsheets and email. Custom points of focus let you tailor how SOC 2 controls are evaluated to match your interpretation of the standard, so your expertise is embedded in every assessment, not just delivered in a report.
The result is a compliance practice that scales. Your tenth client onboards the same way as your first: same methodology, same quality, a fraction of the manual coordination.
As a partner, you purchase client subscriptions at wholesale, about 40% below retail, and resell at any price you choose. Your clients get a co-branded compliance platform built around your methodology. You keep the spread on every subscription, every month, for as long as they’re clients.
The math works quickly. At retail pass-through, a handful of active clients offset most of your platform cost. Bill above retail (which most partners do) and the margin compounds further. Unlike project-based consulting revenue, subscription margin is predictable, recurring, and grows with your client base without adding proportional hours.
You don’t have to start at $799/mo. Any SimpleAudit account can create multiple organizations and switch between them freely, with each organization billed at retail for whichever tier it selects. Run a single client engagement end to end that way, then step up to the Partner Plan when you’re ready to scale: wholesale pricing on every client organization, co-branding, and the centralized partner console.
The wholesale margin on client subscriptions doesn’t just offset your platform cost; at modest client volumes it covers it, turning the platform into a net positive on your P&L.
| Active Essentials clients | Markup at retail pass-through | Your net |
|---|---|---|
| 1 client | ~$80/mo | ~$719/mo platform cost |
| 3 clients | ~$240/mo | ~$559/mo platform cost |
| 5 clients | ~$400/mo | ~$399/mo platform cost |
| 10 clients | ~$800/mo | Platform pays for itself |
| 15 clients | ~$1,200/mo | ~$401/mo net margin |
Based on Essentials retail pass-through ($199/mo retail, $119/mo wholesale). Most partners bill above retail, which compounds the margin; Pro clients carry larger markups, and Business clients will as they launch. Actual margin depends on how you price to clients and your mix across tiers.
Enter your client book and see the monthly margin the Partner Plan produces at wholesale pricing.
Your monthly margin: $5,986
5 clients billed at $1,500/mo each is $7,500/mo. Your wholesale seats cost $715/mo (4 x $119 Essentials + 1 x $239 Pro, 40% below retail), plus the $799/mo platform fee. Everything above that is yours.
The same 5-client book on Vanta would run about $50,000/yr in tooling alone. On SimpleAudit wholesale it is $18,168/yr all-in.
With SimpleAudit handling policy generation, gap analysis, and evidence collection, you reclaim roughly 5 hours per client each month. At $200/hr across 5 clients, that is $5,000/month in billable time freed.
Estimates use current published SimpleAudit pricing and competitors' public starting prices.
Your clients never feel like they’re using a third-party tool. The platform carries your brand, your methodology, and your voice throughout the experience. When they log in, they see your practice, not SimpleAudit’s. That matters for retention: clients who work inside a platform that feels like yours are clients who stay with your practice.
Included with the Partner Plan
The Partner Plan doesn’t just give you a platform. It also makes your practice discoverable to SimpleAudit’s wider user base. List the services you offer, and when a SimpleAudit user asks the AI assistant about one of them, the assistant can recommend your practice right inside the conversation.
Offer penetration testing? When a user starts asking the assistant about a pen test, your practice can surface as a recommendation: a warm, in-context, inbound lead you never had to chase. The same goes for tabletop exercises, vCISO engagements, managed detection & response, and vulnerability scanning and management.
Firms in this space pay appointment-setting services hundreds of dollars per qualified meeting; partners get warm, in-context leads as a feature of the plan.
You stay in control: only the services you actively list are eligible, and you can opt out of AI referrals at any time. Recommendations only ever reach SimpleAudit users who aren’t already a partner or someone’s managed client, so the leads are genuinely new business for your practice.
This is what SimpleAudit takes off your plate for each client. It’s the work your team currently guides clients through manually; the platform systematizes it so clients make progress between your touchpoints.
Conversation-driven policy authoring tailored to their actual environment, not generic templates.
Structured assessment of where each client stands against SOC 2 requirements.
Evidence and activities mapped to the specific controls each client needs to satisfy.
A centralized, organized repository for audit evidence that accumulates over time.
Clients connect their own tooling and push evidence programmatically over MCP, so recurring evidence lands in the vault without manual uploads.
Third-party risk tracking and vendor security reviews.
Documented risk identification and treatment.
The operational records auditors ask for, kept current.
Scheduled and documented access-review workflows.
From your partner console you have a global view across all client organizations (status, progress, outstanding items, and upcoming milestones) without switching between accounts. Set up new client orgs, assign action plans, monitor evidence collection, and identify which clients need attention, all from one place.
One plan for partners. One subscription covers unlimited client orgs.
