Become a Petronella Partner for $0: refer clients or resell white label
Petronella Technology Group, Inc. offers MSPs a free partner agreement. There is no fee to join and nothing to buy. You sign one agreement and choose, when you sign, how you want to work client deals: refer them and earn a commission, sell our services under your own brand at a per-deal wholesale quote, or both.
Option A: Referral, 10% of services revenue
- You introduce the client. Petronella Technology Group, Inc. sells, contracts and delivers under its own name.
- You earn 10% of the services revenue we receive from that client during the first 12 months of the client's agreement. Fees for work our team performs count; hardware, third-party licenses, platform and pass-through costs do not.
- Commissions are paid within 30 days after the month we receive the client's payment, with a commission statement. The client must sign with us within six months of your approved deal registration.
Option B: White label, per-deal wholesale quote
- You sell under your own brand at the price you set. We deliver as your subcontractor, and you bill the client.
- Each deal gets a written wholesale quote, valid for 30 days. Your margin is the difference between your price and the quote. Fixed-fee work is paid 100% upfront when the order is signed; recurring work is billed in advance.
- The client stays with your MSP. We do not knowingly solicit a white-label client to replace you for the same services, during the agreement and for 24 months after it ends (the agreement lists the exceptions).
- Apply free. Send the one-form partner application and choose Petronella Partner.
- Fit review. Our team reviews every application within two business days.
- Sign the agreement. If it is a fit, we send the Partner Agreement for electronic signature. You elect referral, white label, or both when you sign.
- Register each deal. We approve or decline a deal registration within five business days. An approved registration protects the opportunity for 90 days and can be renewed while the deal is active.
The agreement runs for one year and renews automatically unless either side gives 30 days' notice. It is non-exclusive for both sides. Attestation letters, documents signed by a credentialed practitioner such as a CMMC Registered Practitioner, submissions to regulators or assessors, and Business Associate Agreements always carry the Petronella Technology Group, Inc. name. Wholesale prices are quoted per deal and are not published.
Want the full training catalog and the member community as well? Petronella MSP Stack is the optional paid tier, $1,997 per month or $19,970 per year.
Want help selling security, compliance and AI work?
The MSP Growth founding membership is closed, and no founding seats were started. The way to start today is the free Petronella Partner agreement above: there is no fee to join and nothing to buy, and you choose per deal whether to refer the client or sell our services under your own brand.
On referral you earn 10% of the services revenue we receive from that client during the first 12 months. On white label, each deal gets a written wholesale quote, valid for 30 days, and you set your own price. Register each deal with us before you quote it so the opportunity is protected for 90 days.
Apply free as a Petronella PartnerWhat the Petronella MSP Partner Program is, and what it costs
The Petronella MSP Partner Program is run by Petronella Technology Group, Inc., a Raleigh, NC cybersecurity and compliance firm founded in 2002 and listed as Cyber AB Registered Provider Organization #1449. MSPs can work with us in three ways. The first is free: Petronella Partner, $0 to join, a partner agreement under which you refer clients for a 10% commission on services revenue or resell our services white label at a per-deal wholesale quote. The second is done-for-you delivery: white-label vCISO, co-managed EDR, compliance gap analysis, penetration testing and incident response, quoted per engagement and described on this page. The third is the optional paid ladder with published prices, starting with the self-serve Petronella MSP Stack membership at $1,997 per month or $19,970 per year.
What to Ask Before You Sign Any MSP Partnership
Whether you sign the free Petronella Partner agreement or work with any other sub-contractor, the same questions separate a partnership that holds up from one that creates exposure. Ask them early, and get the answers in writing.
Who owns the client relationship?
On white-label work, you should own the contract, the billing, and the relationship, with the sub-contractor delivering behind your brand. The Petronella Partner white-label option works exactly this way: you sell at the price you set, you bill the client, and Petronella Technology Group, Inc. delivers as your subcontractor. The agreement also states that Petronella will not knowingly solicit your white-label client to replace you for the same services during the agreement and for 24 months after it ends, with the exceptions listed in the agreement itself. Ask any prospective partner to put its non-solicitation terms in writing before your first deal, and read the exceptions so you know where the protection stops.
Which documents carry whose name?
Some documents cannot be white-labeled no matter who delivers the work. Attestation letters, documents signed by a credentialed practitioner such as a CMMC Registered Practitioner, submissions to regulators or assessors, and Business Associate Agreements always carry the Petronella Technology Group, Inc. name under the partner agreement. Ask any partner to list up front which deliverables will carry its name so you can set that expectation with your client before the engagement starts, not in the middle of an audit.
How are deals protected?
A referral program is only as good as its registration process. Under the Petronella Partner terms, you register each deal before you quote it, Petronella approves or declines the registration within five business days, and an approved registration protects the opportunity for 90 days and can be renewed while the deal is active. On referral, the client must sign within six months of the approved registration. Without a written registration window, a referral can quietly become the partner's direct sale. Ask how long a registration lasts, what renews it, and who decides when a registration lapses.
How and when do commissions get paid?
Commission terms should specify what revenue counts, what is excluded, and when payment lands. The Petronella Partner referral option pays 10% of the services revenue Petronella receives from the client during the first 12 months of the client's agreement; fees for work the Petronella team performs count, while hardware, third-party licenses, platform and pass-through costs do not. Commissions are paid within 30 days after the month the client's payment is received, with a commission statement. Ask any prospective partner how pass-through costs are treated, because the difference between services revenue and total invoice value can be substantial on hardware-heavy deals.
What happens if the engagement is not a fit?
Look for a structured exit. The Petronella Partner agreement runs for one year and renews automatically unless either side gives 30 days' notice, and it is non-exclusive for both sides, so you keep the freedom to work with other sub-contractors and Petronella keeps the freedom to work with other MSPs. Ask any partner what notice period applies, whether the agreement auto-renews, and what happens to in-flight client work on the day the agreement ends.
This page is for MSP owners, IT directors, and channel managers who need a reliable sub-contractor for compliance-heavy clients, co-managed security operations, or white-label vCISO engagements. Petronella Technology Group fills the gaps your team cannot staff full-time.
The managed services market has grown increasingly complex. Clients in defense, healthcare, finance, and critical infrastructure now demand compliance frameworks - CMMC, HIPAA, NIST 800-171, SOC 2 - alongside 24/7 threat detection and incident response. Most MSPs cannot afford to maintain the specialized certifications, security operations centers, and compliance expertise required to serve these accounts profitably.
Petronella Technology Group bridges that gap. As a Tier 1 partner with real credentials - CMMC-RP, MIT-Certified in AI and Blockchain, DFE #604180, CCNA, CWNE - we provide the technical depth and compliance authority that lets MSPs retain high-value clients without hiring six-figure security specialists. Our partner program is built for co-managed delivery: you own the client relationship; we handle the advanced security and compliance layers.
Whether you need a one-time penetration test (scoped per engagement), ongoing vCISO advisory, or full co-managed EDR/SIEM operations, Petronella operates as an invisible extension of your team. We do not compete for your clients. We make you indispensable to them.
Why MSPs Choose Petronella as Their Security Backstop
Most MSPs hit a ceiling when clients require compliance certifications, advanced threat hunting, or 24/7 SOC coverage. Petronella provides that capability without requiring you to hire, train, or certify additional staff.
How the MSP Partnership Works
We meet you where you are. Every engagement starts with a scoping conversation to determine the right blend of co-managed support, white-label services, and compliance enablement.
Services Available to MSP Partners
Every service is delivered under your brand or as a transparent co-managed arrangement. Pricing is custom-scoped per engagement.
