Four ways to partner with Responsum

Each model is built around a different type of partner. Choose the one that matches how you work today, and add more as your partnership grows.

Lead Generation: earn a 20% lead fee

Introduce potential clients to Responsum and we handle the full sales cycle. When the deal closes, you receive 20% of the first-year revenue, in cash or equivalent value.

Best for: partners with a strong network who don’t want to manage sales or implementation themselves.

DPO-as-a-Service: scale with a Master Tenant

Set up one white-labelled Master Tenant with your logo, templates, and assessments, then copy it for every DPOaaS client. €1,800 per tenant, per year.*

Best for: providers managing multiple clients through a recurring DPO service who want to standardise and scale delivery.

Reselling: get an 18.5% annual discount

Sell Responsum directly to your own customers and keep the commercial relationship. Bundle the platform with your services and build recurring revenue.

Best for: consultancies and service providers with existing customers who want to add Responsum to their portfolio.

Implementation: add consulting to your portfolio

Configure Responsum for customers, set up their workflows, and provide implementation and consultancy services that get the most out of the platform.

Best for: privacy professionals and implementation consultants who want to offer Responsum setup and consulting.

*Conditions apply. Ask our partner team for the full DPOaaS terms.

Flexible partnerships

Combine models to fit your business

The four partnership models aren’t mutually exclusive. You don’t have to choose one path and stay on it. Most partners start with the model that fits how they work today, then add more as their client base and expertise grow.

A partner could, for example, start by introducing leads and earning a lead fee. They could then resell Responsum to their own accounts, add implementation services to support those customers, and eventually grow into a full DPO-as-a-Service offering on their own white-labelled Master Tenant.
