Shape the early phase. Get listed as an Evidence Partner.
CERTavia launched in June 2026. Auditors, GRC consultancies, MSSPs, and organizations in the notified-body ecosystem who join now secure Founding Partner status. You get transparent early-phase terms with price protection, co-branding and white-label independent of the Enterprise plan, deal registration to protect your contacts, and direct influence on the roadmap.
Three models. Clear terms.
The program offers three ways to collaborate. One question decides which fits: who owns the customer relationship?
Model 1: Referral
You recommend CERTavia. We close the deal and handle billing.
- 15% of net revenue in the first year on every order you refer.
- 5% on every renewal, for as long as the customer stays.
- We pay out once the customer has paid.
- We handle billing, support, and contracts.
- Fits when the mandate and invoice stay with the client and you recommend CERTavia as an evidence building block.
Model 2: Mandate integration (reseller)
You own the customer relationship and fold the evidence into your mandate.
- 25% partner discount on the list price of Pro, Portfolio Audit, and the Annual plans.
- 30% from ten booked scans per year.
- You buy at a discount, bundle the scan into your mandate fee, and set your own price toward the client.
- Deal registration: a contact you register stays assigned to you for 180 days.
Model 3: White-label and co-branding
You present the report under your own brand, independent of the Enterprise plan.
- Co-branding — your logo alongside the CERTavia evidence — is included from the Portfolio Audit level.
- Full white-label — the report fully under your brand — applies from ten scans per year. Below that, book it as an add-on for EUR 900 per year.
- The cryptographic signature and independent verifiability remain intact. Your clients can verify authenticity themselves at any time.
Five early-phase benefits
Early-phase terms with price protection
You lock in the partner terms valid at the time you join for the duration of the partnership. If the structure changes for new partners later, your entry terms continue to apply to you.
Co-branding and white-label without Enterprise requirement
You show reports under your own brand as soon as you reach the Portfolio Audit level.
Dedicated contact channel
You reach a fixed contact person for technical questions, client escalations, and integration.
Influence on the roadmap
Your practical feedback flows directly into the further development of the Sovereign Validation Protocol (SOVP) and the reports.
Listing as an Evidence Partner with a return channel
We list you as an Evidence Partner on certavia.org on request. You carry the Founding Partner badge in your client communications.
What you contribute and what comes back
The collaboration runs in both directions, and the roles are clearly divided. CERTavia delivers the technical evidence. The legal assessment, the audit responsibility, and process guidance are yours.
This creates a natural return channel. Clients who, after a scan, look for the legal interpretation or process guidance are referred by us to listed Evidence Partners. You deliver the interpretation and the responsibility. We deliver the machine-readable data foundation. Two building blocks that fit together.
Fair rules
- We pay on collected revenue. Commissions and margins refer to revenue actually paid.
- Payout window: 30 days after the customer's payment is received.
- Chargeback only on early cancellation. If a customer cancels within 90 days, we prorate the commission. After that, it's yours to keep.
- Deal registration protects you. Registered contacts stay assigned to you for 180 days.
- You keep full flexibility regarding revenue and other partnerships.
- Price protection for the term, fair cancellation terms for both sides.

Three steps to Founding Partner
Request via the contact form
Select "Partner Program" as the inquiry type and briefly describe your organization, your target audience, and your preferred model.
30-minute qualification call
We clarify fit, model, co-branding needs, discount tier, and technical integration.

How the program fits in
The Founding Partner Program is a reseller, referral, and integration model. CERTavia delivers the technical infrastructure evidence. The officially recognized certification is issued by accredited bodies.
For binding conformity assessments under Article 43 of the EU AI Act, Founding Partners refer their clients to accredited notified bodies such as TÜV, DEKRA, or BSI-accredited bodies.
Secure Founding Partner status
Select "Partner Program" as the inquiry type in the contact form. A brief description of your organization and preferred model is enough for the first step.
Binding conformity assessments under Article 43 of the EU AI Act are issued exclusively by accredited conformity assessment bodies. CERTavia delivers the technical preliminary step toward that.
