THE YDC PARTNER PROGRAMME

Expand what you can offer your clients.

Certification, governance, risk and compliance – supported by YDC.

Your clients increasingly need support beyond their existing IT and professional services. YDC works with MSPs, IT providers, accountants, cyber consultants, insurance brokers, legal firms, fractional technology leaders and other trusted advisers to extend the support they can offer their clients.

There is no fixed package. We start by understanding your business, your clients and the services you already provide. We then build a YDC partner proposition around the areas where we can genuinely add value.

Client-Centred Partnership

Complement your delivery with ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, governance assessments, and questionnaire acceleration.

Partner capability

Your clients. Your relationship. More capability.

You have spent years building trusted relationships with your clients. When those clients need help with cyber security, certification, governance, risk or compliance, you shouldn't necessarily need to recruit additional specialists, develop new technology or send the opportunity elsewhere.

YDC can provide the additional capability behind your existing client proposition. Depending on what you and your clients need, this could include:

You retain the trusted client relationship.

We agree together where YDC fits.

Cyber security expertise
Governance and risk support
Policies and evidence management
Audit and customer assurance readiness
Staff cyber and compliance training
Ongoing compliance management

Partnership options

One partnership. Multiple ways to work together.

Introduce

You identify a client who could benefit from YDC and make the introduction. We agree how the opportunity should be handled and work with you to support the client.

Extend your services

Bring YDC capability into your existing proposition when clients require cyber security, certification, governance, risk or compliance support outside your current offering.

Build a recurring service

For partners with an established client portfolio, we can explore how YDC services and Protects could form part of a broader recurring client proposition.

Collaborate

Where appropriate, we can explore joint client opportunities, co-branded activity and longer-term strategic relationships.

Partner ecosystem

Built for businesses that already advise SMEs

Broaden what you offer existing clients. Partner with YDC to deliver cyber governance, readiness, and verified compliance alongside your core services.

Accountants & Professional Advisers
Give clients somewhere trusted to turn when cyber security, governance or compliance becomes part of the business conversation.
Cyber & Compliance Consultants
Combine your expertise with YDC capability and Protects to support ongoing client delivery.
Insurance Brokers
Connect clients with practical support when cyber governance, security controls or evidence becomes relevant to their insurance requirements.
Legal Firms
Give clients access to practical implementation support when legal, contractual, privacy or governance advice creates an operational requirement.
Fractional CTOs, CIOs & CISOs
Access additional expertise and a governance platform that can support the organisations you already advise.
Compliance & Governance

From Cyber Essentials to ongoing governance

Sometimes the requirement begins with something very specific.

A client needs Cyber Essentials.

A customer has sent a security questionnaire.

A tender requires evidence of cyber controls.

An organisation wants to work towards ISO 27001.

An insurer or customer is asking questions about security.

A business has outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected compliance documents.

That immediate requirement can become the beginning of a stronger, ongoing approach to governance and risk.

YDC can support the initial requirement and, where appropriate, Protects can provide the environment for managing what comes afterwards.

YDC PROTECTS

Give clients somewhere to manage it all.

Protects brings key governance and compliance activity into one environment, helping organisations manage areas including:

For partners, Protects provides an opportunity to complement professional expertise with an ongoing technology platform rather than leaving clients to manage governance through spreadsheets, folders and disconnected systems.

Let's build the right partnership.

Whether you have one client with an immediate requirement or an established portfolio where YDC could add a new capability, the starting point is the same. Tell us about your business, your clients and what you're trying to achieve. We'll review the opportunity with you and build an appropriate partner proposition around it.

No standard package. No assumptions. A partnership designed around your business and your clients.
