Cyber risk is a financial and regulatory risk. Lead the conversation.
Partner with C-Trust to strengthen your role as a trusted advisor on cyber risk. Deliver a recurring, financially focused cyber risk assessment and action plan your clients can take to their board, regulators, and insurers.
Why partner C-Trust
Cyber risk is financial and regulatory concern — and your clients are looking to you.
A full-service platform and cyber expertise to bring cyber risk into your client conversations, without becoming a cybersecurity expert.
Cyber risk is a business risk that can be quantified, documented, and audited using the same approach you already apply to financial and operational risk.
Most firms still send cyber questions to an IT provider. C-Trust brings cyber risk expertise into your practice and strengthens your trusted advisor reputation.
Thousands of SMEs and mid-market companies are now in scope for NIS2 and DORA, as well as continued scrutiny under GDPR.

How the partner program works
Discover how our partner program works in 4 easy steps
You identify the clients who need to manage cyber risk in business terms. C-Trust's vendor-neutral position lets us collaborate with auditors, IT service providers, and the CEO to build prioritized action plans for compliance and resilience — and you stay an active advisor throughout.
The C-Trust platform powers the assessment, the financial risk modeling, and the report. A certified C-Trust analyst leads the business and IT workshops, finalizes the report, and presents the findings to your client.
Your client commits about four hours across two workshops on their business and digital systems. You and their IT service provider or CISO can step in to answer alongside them.
A financially quantified cyber risk report and a prioritized action plan your client can act on, present to their board, and share with regulators, customers, and insurers, strengthening your role as their trusted advisor on compliance, resilience, and cyber risk management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers on the chartered accountant partnership model, your role, and the clients it fits.
How does the partner program for chartered accountants and auditors work?
We structure the partnership in a way that allows you to integrate C-Trust into your advisory offering in various ways — referrals, co-delivery, and other options. We can walk through it together in our first call.
Do I need cybersecurity expertise to participate?
No. A certified C-Trust analyst leads the assessment process, runs the workshops, and presents the report. Your role is the advisory one you already play — framing the business issue, helping interpret the findings, and connecting the recommendations to your client's broader strategy.
Which of my clients are the right fit?
SMEs and mid-market companies of any size can improve their cyber risk posture with C-Trust. The clearest triggers are those within NIS2 or DORA scope, a cyber insurance renewal, a third-party requirement, or a recent incident in their sector. We help you identify candidates during onboarding.
What is the length of a client engagement?
The first deliverables from our partnership take between 2 weeks and 1 month from kickoff to final presentation if all stakeholders are engaged. Your clients contribute around four hours total — a 1-hour business workshop and 2–3 hours with their IT manager or service provider. A C-Trust analyst then finalizes the risk report using the C-Trust platform and presents the results and prioritized action plan to you and your client.
Can I see a sample report?
Yes — we share a sample report on the first call so you can see exactly what your client would receive.
What if my client already has an IT service provider or CISO?
C-Trust works alongside IT service providers and CISOs to deliver data-driven, risk-based results. We're vendor-neutral and focused on business-level risk quantification, which complements rather than competes with the technical work an MSP or internal team already does. Many of our best engagements are with firms whose clients have an IT provider but no business-language view of cyber risk.
