We sat down with Jana Whitcomb, Vice President of Partnerships at BlackCloak, to answer questions and provide more insight into this exclusive partnership. 

Q: We’re very excited to offer this to our valued partners. Can you explain a bit more about what the BlackCloak Signature Alliance entails? 

JW: Absolutely! The BlackCloak Signature Alliance is an invitation-only collaboration with world leading value-added resellers, technology innovators, law firms, executive protection firms, and premier financial institutions, among others. Offering more than a cybersecurity product, the partnership gives access to an industry-leading concierge cybersecurity experience for partners alongside exclusive resources, priority support, and premium margins for growth.

Q: With this Alliance comes a promise to our partners. Can you expand a bit on this commitment?

JW: Yes, this is a critical component of our partnerships, and it really comes down to three main areas we promise to deliver on: 

  1. Excellence in service: We partner exclusively with firms that share our commitment to high-touch, “white-glove” service. A membership signals a standard of care that is reflected in our own core values. Alliance members gain access to our expertise whenever they need it. From in-person briefings to online support available via the BlackCloak Signature Alliance Portal, we uphold the reputation of quality and service that businesses strive to achieve.
  2. Market-leading solutions: BlackCloak delivers unmatched, comprehensive cybersecurity protection. We wrap our enterprise-grade technology and services around your clients’ entire personal digital lives to protect them from sophisticated and targeted cyberthreats. Privacy is at the core of our business. Our technology provides comprehensive protection without collecting client data or gaining visibility into personal emails, accounts, browsing history or homes. Every client’s life, whether they are on an enterprise plan, represented by a family office, or as an individual, is a private space.
  3. Standardized high-value margins: Deal transparency is of utmost importance when it comes to building trust, which is why we have created a standardized, value-based discount structure for our Alliance members.

Q: You mentioned the BlackCloak Signature Alliance Portal. What can members expect to find there? 

JW: We’re extremely excited about this feature. The BlackCloak Signature Alliance Portal will serve as a one-stop shop for all things BlackCloak to make partnerships as frictionless as possible. This portal will include: 

  • Pitch decks to drive sales and increase revenue growth
  • Training resources 
  • Co-branded assets 
  • A marketing resources library with the latest content to share with clients and prospects

All of that and so much more! 

Q: What’s included among the other core program benefits? 

JW: Being a part of the BlackCloak Signature Alliance is more than a partnership—it is a commitment to a new standard of personal safety. We provide partners with:

  • Attractive, standardized and transparent compensation packages with short sales cycles as well as preferred pricing and discounts for your clients. 
  • The opportunity to enhance client relationships and position themselves as trusted advisors by having a team at the ready should a cyber incident occur. 
    • This comes with a “BlackCloak Signature Alliance” seal to identify yourself as an authorized and trusted partner
  • Comprehensive support and guidance through advisor enablement and education sessions, monthly partner newsletters, in-person or virtual events and webinars. 

Q: For enterprises, what is required from their SOC/security team?
